This place sucks: parc

It's like a nest. Or a pressure cooker or something. When the food is good, it's okay. That might happen once a week. Coffee is thirty cents. No seconds. The bathroom is so sketchy. If there's toilet paper and soap in there, that's amazing. Usually it's one or the other. Same with the stalls: One of them is usually working, not both. And the smell. It's always fully operational.

If there's space at a table, don't get too comfy too fast: often there's a good reason for the gap... so you can be in the piss smell section or the crazy shouter section. Either or. Or maybe it's being held down by an overtalker who's gonna keep everyone in earshot as a captive audience. If you do find an okay spot, the embedded crazies will start to come out of the woodwork. Often you realize the empty spot is there as a carefully baited trap: they left a tempting spot so they could bug whoever sits there. It's a classic trap. Same thing on the outside: gotta run the gauntlet every time you pass through or hang out in front of the place or anywhere on the block.

Their "breakfast" is even more of a joke than the good shepherd's. To be fair, they're both a patronizing slap in the face every single time in terms of food quality, but the horrendous bathroom and hand washing situation really bring the message home: you're worthless, your time is worthless, nobody believes a thing you say, your needs are a joke, you'll eat anything... etc etc. And from the looks if the crowd, we've gotten the memo! We are depressed and despondent and insecure just like we're supposed to be. Not to mention malnourished, bloated, sick to our stomachs, exhausted... it just goes to show, you can destroy people with food. Make anybody live like this for over a week straight and they'll get sick in some way. Hey, sleep apnea from congestion from food allergies is a thing. But losing sleep just makes us seem more like unstable drug addicts, so it's a great strategy to keep us out of the workforce. Just keep us sick. It's so easy: all you have to do is feed us food you'd never serve at your own table. Nobody who decided any of the budgets that define our lives has ever eaten a meal as bad as these, in a place as awful as these places. Unless maybe they went to jail... which would make sense... we all know the government harbors plenty of criminals among its workers.
