• 0:08
  Speaker 1: choose from. One of the biggest ones right now is

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Can you name either before we get to the final jingle? Ooh,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: there's the challenge. A little engaging there, huh? It's called
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Music's Lost History, only on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Hates me, that question guy. You know, the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: dude that's always asking questions because it's so much fun
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to do the research for answers. For instance, what's heavier
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to carry? Your physical weight or your mental weight? Wait
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: before you answer. We'll talk about it. Plus... Why are
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: people choosing to work at a grocery store? My name
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: my daily writing. When a subject arrives inside of me, dude,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture is always going
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to become clearer. This is The Daily Mess. So what's heavier,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: your physical weight or your mental weight? I mean, we're
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: talking about two different styles of weight here. Let's break
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it down. Physical weight is a measurable load on your body.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You can always lose it, rest, or change it. Now
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: let's bring in mental weight, worry, grief, regret, fear, and uncertainty.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It all hits you at once, no matter where you are.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: There's never a physical object to set to the side.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: This is why someone can be physically exhausted after a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: hard day's work. But in its own way, it feels peaceful.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Physical weight occupies your body. Mental weight takes over your attention.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And it's that attention that tends to follow you everywhere
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you go. So is there any way that we can
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: weigh out either side, your mental weight versus your physical weight?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You have to be the judge. Physical weight can tire
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: your body. Mental weight affects your body, such as your sleeping, concentration, emotion,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and sense of peace. You can't just set it down.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So which one is heavier? Guess what? It's your mind.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It is what's moving through you and not what's on you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, why do people work at grocery stores? Hey,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. Why do
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: people choose to work at a grocery store? And I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: think I can openly answer this, but I want to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: do some digging here and find out if we're on
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the right page or not. It's physical work and department
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: managers pretty much are heartless and they suck. Let's not
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: waste any time here. The reason why people choose to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: work at a grocery store is because the job's priorities matter.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: They give you that sense of value. Immediate income. You
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: don't need a college degree or specialized training. Accessibility. That's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: what you need. Grocery stores are like churches. There's one
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: on every single block. Plus it gets you involved with
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: social interacting. health benefits, and they're very flexible. But let's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be honest here. People don't go the route of working
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: at a grocery store because they love it. No, no, no.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You got to look around you. Most employees are pretty
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: much at a certain point in their life. The alternatives
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: seem harder, less accessible, and less secure. Now, I've been
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: at a grocery store for six years. I work with
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: people who've been there for 25 years. Why are these
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: people making this a career choice? Well, they've built seniority.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: People stay due to having a fear of the unknown.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm guilty of the next one. The only reason
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: why I stay is because who wants to start all
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: over again? Nobody likes being at the bottom of a list.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: A grocery store job helps define your identity. When things
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: go bad inside of a grocery store, you know, those
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: employees are a little bit more tolerant to those moments.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The complaints and the decisions, they don't necessarily create the contradictory.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting place to grow. It's also a very
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: interesting place to just go and people watch a lot
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of drama. I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
