‘What it was like working in a deli for 5 years’ is simply magnificent (listen til the end!)
Not only have we never worked in a deli, we are also occasionally guilty of not thinking enough about where the food we eat has come from.
And both of these things have been rectified in the space of a minute or so, a hilarious (and eye-opening) insight into what it’s like to work in a deli after it was shared by @based_music_guy over on Twitter.

I share this because it is funny also true.
Much of food is so hyper processed that there’s no semblance to the animal it once was. https://t.co/VIoOdqYby2— Kairo (@Kairo_Anatomika) March 4, 2024
i used to work at a coldstone and someone freaked out that we didn’t have “zero calorie icecream”. i think about that sometimes.

I’m not a working actor, or anything, but if ever a situation arose that required me to prepare a short monologue… I would unequivocally choose this https://t.co/1dlro2aStH
