a job any job so i was like ok what can i do cause like i need to pay for my bills my grand buy shoes clothes food everything so what can i do i came out on from front to observe the place try to learn the place try to learn what everyone is doing around the place then i decided that ok this people they love this they don't love this let me give them what they love. so which is rico says he has a diploma in hospitality and wanted to become a shift he's given up trying to look for a job he's also given up on voting in elections for me it was the of time. i think it's always of time for me because like. after. that i won't get anything and i was born evil give us drugs food said give them our support but at the end of the the night is going to get. kind of yellow is twenty three he spends most of his days in
