“This American Life” is back on Showtime this spring, and I couldn’t be happier. That show rocks balls. But my favorite segment from the first season has to be this one:
This is in a fashionable, “yuppie” neighborhood in Chicago. I disagree with the person who posted it, this isn’t what “Chi-town” is “All About”, just the worst parts. I would kill someone about three minutes into a shift here. How these folks handle it boggles my mind. They may well have been Zen Buddhist monks in a past life.
But anyway, this place is right down the street from my girlfriend’s. I eat here from time to time, and I tip generously. I just feel bad for the kind of people they have to deal with this constantly.
Sick and sad. I got menstrual cramps watching this.
