“I only work on the weekend, but my schedule is never the same. Some days I work 1 p.m to 11 p.m and others I work 2 p.m to 8:30 p.m,” Besancon said.
Besancon said only working weekends makes it easy to school work and he doesn’t have trouble managing it. He likes his job and the people.
“One time my manager caught someone recording ‘Here Comes the Boom.’ We had to call the cops and my manager got $500 for catching them,” Besancon said.
