or capitalism. People toiling at 0200 in the morning while some guy has a 100,000 dollar toy.

    Not to disagree with the capitalism part but 2AM is a pretty common time to start work in a bakery. They have to allow time for the dough to proof and obviously need to have enough stuff coming out the oven early enough to get it packaged and delivered wherever its going.

    My wife worked in a bakery for a time and she always started work at 3am so that the donuts and muffins and shit would be ready by 630am when people started showing up in droves to buy them.

    I was a greenskeeper for a 36 hole golf course and we similarly had to start at like 2am because we had to be done all our mowing and cup moving and trap raking on the front 9s before dawn...the golfers would be fucking irate if we weren't lol.

    I was a greenkeeper for a while as well, luckily we just started at 6.00 to finish at 11.00ish. Some people would show up early but because we were starting at hole 9 and 18 and going backwards it was no big deal.

    Yeah our golfers were like the epitome of entitled, if they so much as saw us working on holes they weren't even playing on they would go nuclear. We had to be sure we were at least on the 10th or 11th hole by dawn because they would roll up with the sun ready to get their 18 holes in before heading back to the clubhouse for brunch and a half dozen martinis before getting into their Porsche and god help you if they so much as heard the sound of an internal combustion engine coming from literally anywhere.

    Not nice people...but luckily I wasnt forced to deal with them much, and was usually farting around in the maintenance shed with the other kids waiting to punch out by the time we got too busy lol
