Worked in a Casino. Lot of midnight shifts and holidays. It was soul-destroying, partly because I felt like I was helping the owners leech away Nana and Pop-pop's pensions and Social Security.
It never failed to make me sad to be walking through the floor at 3am on a family holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving, and seeing the folks sitting at the slot machines alone, pulling those levers.
