Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in the bakery at your local supermarket?
Bakery Blues is a true telling of my year as a bakery clerk for The Safeway Corporation.
I went into the bakery excited about baking, and left with a deeper understanding of the human condition, what it means to be part of a team, and what to do when the team you are on isn't playing by the rules.
There's also a very nice poem in the middle that I hope you enjoy.
Thank you!

Recommend the book to understand some of the areas that come up as corporate contradictions between pricing, efficiency and what is good for the customer. It also serves as a checkpoint - the world is becoming so mechanized that the personal touch is fast getting relegated to the background.
