Whoa...I love the transition from salad maker to bouncer/security.

I quit (or was fired) from making salads because they wouldn't give me time off to go to my track meet. I sometimes worked with some shady characters as a bouncer but they were so much better to work for than my jerk grocery store manager!

Ha! So interesting.

Here's hoping the characters you're working with these days are better than both the folks from the days of making salads and bouncing shady characters.
