Allen Stern blogs about a sign that’s outside Rice to Riches, a rice pudding place in New York City’s East Village:
The sign reads:
Help Wanted
Start a career in the fascinating, fast-paced lucrative pudding business
- Long hard hours
- Very low pay
- Lots of heavy lifting
- Work for a ball-busting asshole
- Dead-end job
- No benefits
- No advancement
- Must be college grad
Start immediately
It’s attention getting; Allen says that he saw a number of people read the sign and as a result step into the store. There’s more in his blog entry about the sign.
I wonder how many people read it and thought “Sounds great! Where do I sign up?”

lol, I’m applying for this as the first thing next morning… It seem to be just like my previous job hehe
Is the “ball-busting asshole” the guy that was running it when it was raided? Something about an illegal sports book and bales o’ cash?
