“At Olive Garden, you’re family” is the tagline for the Darden owned restaurant. While being mocked for not upholding the standards of Italian cuisine, something more horrific has occurred.
In Pennsylvania, a young man stripped his clothes and stuck his head in a deep fryer. Now, as a former waitstaff at the OG, there are days where you feel like, well, sticking your head in a deep fryer. But this person took it to a whole other level in actually doing it.
Allegedly hooked on PCP, he dashed and placed his face in the boiling hot grease, eventually leading to his demise. This made the whole situation rather dire. His inability to cope with one of the most dangerous drugs known to man.
So, making all drugs legal and for private organizations to set the market standards on how to consume these drugs is the goal.
What was going through this man’s mind before he had decided to rush into the fryer?
Had he considered doing something even more drastic? We shall never know. But, one thing is for certain…those who use PCP (allegedly) should be on guard against the perils of introducing the drug into their bodies and invading their minds.
This particular youth took matters into his own head, retreating to the position of a sacrificial lamb and dropping all his morals, virtues, and values. By going head first into that cooker, he found death. If there was a Faces of Death franchise still active, I’m sure that this event would feature prominently in a way to exit this life.
In a world where most young people use opioids, this man supposedly used a powerful substance that led him like a trail of blood to his final act. He took note in unaliving himself with his great nerve it took to halt his life in such a gory way.
Had he done something like this at his home, would there have been much hoopla? Because he ended his life at a major restaurant chain, is it the fact there is a connection to laborers being overworked and driven to use highly toxic recreational drugs, allegedly?
Some days at “The OG,” seemed like a slog and my efforts seemed so low that I could only work one table. The kitchen is as frenetic as the exchange pit. Dishes crash, voices raise, orders constantly go through via computer systems, all the while you’re thinking about the cute young woman stuffing cash in her pockets.
I couldn’t deal with it. I ran from Pennsylvania (not the same store as this story) to Massachusetts to get that tax free money, but that’s another story. This specific man’s successful suicide could have been prevented…maybe. Perhaps he had achieved his biggest check so far at OG and didn’t see himself topping that.
He remained steadfast in his resolve to commit the ultimate do it yourself project. Whatever his reasons, he kept up with his notion that he would end it all. Despite all the speculation in whether he killed himself based on the “water” aka PCP, he may have planned all of this for months. He could have seen he would be getting a big check and just crashed out and into the fryer.
What he exhibited relied on his inability to deal with reality. Was it an overdose? Doctors now conduct studies on hallucinogenic substances. They know the right limits to the drugs. Did this man know the proper dosage to take? Apparently not.
In all, this is a cautionary tale for those who work in national chains and to keep the right composure when facing such a volatile workspace.
