Oh man. Working at a place that never closed was always an endless possibility of being called in to work whenever. I kept a small bottle of vodka by the phone so that whenever they’d call and I didn’t feel like going in I’d take a drink, then pick up the phone. “Sorry, can’t come in, I’ve been drinking.”

I worked every Thanksgiving and Xmas eve the entire time I worked there. Worked most other holidays too.

Got sick there one time and the manager wouldn’t let me go home. Like, I went into the bathroom and threw up and this guy wouldn’t let me leave. The manager left for the day, I put up a sign on the door about being sick. Sales were down that day.
