SPB: What is the worst job you’ve ever had? 

Steve Diaz (guitar): Bus boy at a Mexican food restaurant for 1 day. They tried to make me recycle the chips and salsa from used tables back in the mix. Even at 16 I knew that shit was fucked.

Louis Ramsey (guitar): I worked at a siding (for houses and whatnot) warehouse. There were three of us that worked there and I was low man, so they made me load and unload all the trucks by myself. If you pick up box of aluminum siding incorrectly you can kink the entire box and they'd dock your pay (and they're expensive) and it's almost impossible to move an old-school bay window with one person. 

Dan Achin (drums): My first job was washing towels at an automated car wash. All I could do was wash, dry and fold towels ‘cause I wasn't old enough to pull the cars forward when they got to the end. Also, the other dudes that then dried and detailed the cars didn't want me helping ‘cause they wanted the tips. I made $3.35 an hour.
