They kind of have an easy, cushy job and they are still getting a (pay) cheque and being able to hang out with friends and eat free junk food and get free videos. It is the type of lifestyle that any young man in his 20s thought 'man, this could be an easy thing to do,' and it is now ten years later and they are still at that convenience store, but early on that convenience store goes away.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWeinstein\u003cbr/\u003e6.
