Texas Roadhouse was a favorite of mine when I was in the Marines (it was slim pickins down in Jacksonville, NC). I distinctly remember loving the bread that they served, but I didn't love it enough to ever make me go back to once since I left NC 18 years ago.

Maybe I'll have to find one around here and take my kids. They'd probably love that crap!
IIRC that bread had more sugar than flour in it. I remember the peanuts strewn about the place and the steak being unremarkable at a modest price.

Working in a paper mill until retirement and then travelling the country for purposes of eating hundreds of overcooked mediocre steaks has to be in Dante's Inferno Part Deux.

Just a note, paper mills and steel mills are tied for the most hellish work environments on earth. Even that crappy restaurant would seem like heaven to anyone who spent their life in either.

Paper mills have to be worse, that smell on the approach for miles... 🤢

And you are right. Plenty of worse ways to spend retirement, to be fair they mentioned visiting national parks etc. On the journey.

My Verizon DSL (yes, I realize that I’m in the Stone Age) is out for the third time in the last few days. I have to use cellular service to hang out with my Styleforum e-bros.

Years back I was working in a refinery up in Martinez Ca. when these two guys from Pittsburgh started bs'ing about working in the steel mills. Much confusion ensued for about ten minutes until they realized one was from Pittsburgh Pa and the other onewas from Pittsburgh Ca

Buddy of mine in HS worked for a steel co., Went through the vocational program and earned enough money in HS for a T Top Firebird.

Place was affectionately known as the suck shack. Most people viewed that as a plumb job given the wages and bennies, glad for him he got out early.

and of course they're both talking bethlehem steel .

my grandfather told me this story of how he was working a 12 hour shift and his replacement never showed so he worked through the shift ( can't leave your position without a replacement worker ) and then his other shift came back up so now it's 36 hours , gets home and of course his MIL needs him to drive her to the city so he does , gets home again and crashes , wakes up and half his face is sliding off his skull he'd had a stroke . was in his 30s .

Someone at my office decides to add those hand "blowers" in the toilets. Ok.

But same genius decides to remove the paper towel dispensers.

How the **** does said decision maker think people like me quickly raise toilet seat, flush toilet, open bathroom door when finished, grab some when eating lunch at desk, etc.....without paper towels?
