Grocery-Store Worker Can't Bear To Eat Food Anymore

FLOURISSANT, MO—Pick’n Save stockboy Joel Melcher said Monday that his overexposure to groceries has destroyed his taste for food. “When I first started working here, I thought, ’This is awesome—I’ll be able to bring bags of food home from work every night,’” said Melcher, who receives a 25 percent discount at the store. “But now, being around it all day long, at the end of the day I can’t even stand to look at frozen food, baked goods, meat, dairy items, or produce. Makes me sick just thinking about it.” Melcher has vowed that, when he gets a new job, he “will never set foot in a grocery store ever again.”
