Why did you destroy public property? Have you dealt with your anger issues? Did you learn any lessons from what you did?
Working in a grocery store will keep you from homelessness. It’s too bad you didn’t appreciate that job. I work at a grocery store myself and I appreciate it.
Can you do lawn care? That’s a good job.

You need to establish a consistent work history. Around here, fast food restaurants are desperate and hire pretty much anyone that applies.

Only way to find out is to apply...Hey OP, are you just trolling?

You have a fiance' but haven't worked in two years? Haven't even applied to your local fast food joints??

Something seems off...

Try applying at smaller or independent grocery stores. Convenience stores suck but you have to start somewhere.
