I just want to sleep
My biggest wish is $3,000 a month, which would enable me to have food, meds, dog food, and road life. I could travel in my tiny house with my dog gathering stories and being free.
I moved to a new Taco Bell and took a pay cut, and lost hours. I am now only making around $600/mo from exchanging my labor for a paycheck. I really need new patreons to fill in the gap. Help me become a full time writer again!

Three days to make this happen. Fighting every month to keep us housed. There is no fallback besides living in the car. So please consider a book purchase or a Ko-Fi thank you thank you thank you.
I needed to express my love to someone and picking up paint was the only way to do it. I needed to paint that picture. I’m not with that person and the art is long gone but I’m glad I did it.
I work at Taco Bell. A combo with 2 chalupas and a drink is $15. I make $14.25/hr.
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
I feel like it would just take one Pokémon looking at Pikachu and asking “why doesn’t he need to live in the ball?” to lead to some fuckin changes in that society
In the wild, guys like Elon Musk used to lurk the corner booths at dennys with either the satanic bible or an Ayn Rand book, babbling the same script at each years fresh new crop of freshman club going teenage girls, until some dishwashers get sick of it and beat him half to death in the parking lot
Drive thru etiquette needs to be taught in drivers Ed
1. Look at the menu. That’s where the food is listed. Stop vaguely describing things and making me guess what you want
2. Use the time between the speaker and the window to get your payment ready
3. Inspect your bag in the parking lot

When I was out there, I learned that men who buy sexual labor are extremely impatient. Sure I would have loved to line up tricks all day, 9 am, 9:30, 10, 10:30, but not one single sex buyer is patient or organized enough to follow this plan
I’m so tired of serving people who think they’re better than me
You want the benefits of my labor without the burden of treating me like a human being
Fuck you
Expanding on this. On an average night I work with 3-4 other people. Cumulatively we cost about $500 in labor for 8 hours. Again the company makes about $5,000 in that time period. Labor is 10% of their cost. The ingredients can’t be much more, it’s Taco Bell
I’m not saying my experiences as a coerced homeless sex worker in 2016 are universal
However I am saying that these breathless “30 men a day” SWERF stories wildly overestimate both the organizational skills of pimps, and the patience of men who buy sex workers’ labor
People freak out when we close early. Like people have never been told no before. I’m sorry but we don’t have infinite food or infinite labor. We are human beings too, we would like to go home and snuggle our pets and play video games and sleep in our beds. I don’t live at Taco Bell.

As a luxury sex worker in Buffalo in 2016-17, I made $500-600 a day
Now working at Taco Bell it takes me 2 weeks to make $500
There are far fewer dogs in the drive thru and someone threw out my original bag of treats when I got here so I just never replaced them
I’ve been at this new Taco Bell for 3 months and it sucks
One of the best rejections of my life. I still feel grateful for this guy.
I was 19, in love with a moocher who treated me like dirt. I paid for us to go to the goth clubs 3 nights a week. And one week a bouncer hit on me
I’m tired. I’ve been working these Thurs Fri Sat night shifts for 2 years. I miss day light. I actually want to wake up in the morning but that’s the middle of my night. I want to go for walks with my dog. I want to rest.
I am rapidly running out of effort to give Taco Bell. I make $2.50/hr less than at my old location. My year and a half of taco bell experience to say nothing of my 20 years of food service experience mean nothing here. I just get yelled at.

This is my attitude every day at work
Abuse survivor agreeing here. It really is most men and nobody stops it.
I work at Taco Bell and I can tell you if every person in food service magically got a corporate lap top desk job tomorrow, society would collapse
I’m sorry I am just continually fucked up to know that I was raised by sexual abusers, got recruited into a teenage sex cult at 13, survived many abusive relations ships, and then come out of it at 40 and SOCIETY was based on the same sexual abuse. It makes me want to be a hermit.
To his credit, he did actually take me to the movie but the panic attack was baked in at that point and I left in an ambulance without seeing the ending
