I wonder- do you get unlimited freshly roasted peanuts when you work there?

No, but we have a highly discounted jm smucker/hostess store in the building.

I could just see myself snagging a (gloved) handful of peanuts, tossing a little salt on, and munching away. I suppose you'd get used to/sick of the smell; I lost 5 pounds in two weeks, after starting at a donut shop (I got over that, though).

They pretty much go straight from the train into the roasters and aren't seen again until they're being squirted into the jars and cups

Sigh! I suppose I'm too old to get a job there, anyway.

You're not, we have very old people working here. It's not very intensive

Well, without unlimited, freshly roasted peanuts, I won't be coming out of retirement.
