started a new job, already been lied to

So I recently took a new job as a delivery guy for food supplier in my hometown. They've been in business over 100 year and supply to pretty much every major restaurant and school in the county.

Not to mention working with bigoted gen x'ers who have made several tasteless comments while out on deliveries about protected class citizens. Thought you all might get a laugh out of my attempt to try a new position out.
