So, yup. Live long enough and someone you know will be on 90 Day Fiance, I guess? Oh lord I’m probably going to regret this…

I worked with Rob the whole year of 2018 and some surrounding time, at Rose Collective in Venice Beach. To put it lightly, he… sucked.

Vibes = Off AF.

He’s not acting, that is how he is. The arcade scene brought memories rushing back, I watched him fight back tears in real life a couple times over ridiculous things, like a customer not “showing enough respect” to him after fighting over a faulty returned vape, or a woman he was talking to online or on a dating app ghosted / blocked him, etc. I think I made him almost cry more than once, to the point where he requested an opposite schedule from me, so he opened in the morning and I would close in the evenings. Since that meant I only had to see him 2 hours each day, I loved this idea.

He got hired bc he was ‘cute’, one of the owners , who was also a hot mess, but she had money somehow, found him somewhere and decided to bring him on as general manager, when his singular experience in cannabis was trimming deep in the woods. However, cutting leaves off a plant for a couple months does not actually prepare you to run a high volume dispensary in a busy tourist area. Especially if you’re Rob. So you can imagine how that went.

First he got his buddy To’Ri hired, To’Ri worked there for maybe a week and just stopped showing up one day bc he got cast on some B- falling in love on the beach reality show. I was given To’Ri’s job. I got access to the ‘marketing@ —’ email, looking through it I saw old messages where To’RI had made an email signature listing himself as ‘Marketing Director’ and the drunk lawyer lady who hired them responded back with “Take that off, right now. You don’t have permission to use that title. It suggests that you are a partner and you absolutely are not.” I chuckle.

​

Rob really is:

- Not that smart. It’s not an act. And, at least when I knew him, he was a big stoner, but also nothing close to the functional kind. He’d get stoned knowing full well that he would then be useless for 2-3 business hours, but that was fine bc he could just sit on his phone in the office and ignore everything else. I would do it later when I got in.

- Both very full of himself, and very insecure & desperate for love/fame/confirmation/acceptance, if you googled “Men who need to go to therapy” he’d be at the top of the list.

- His style actually used to be worse, he used to wear those Aladdin balloony circus pants. I told him a true story about the last guy I knew who wore those kind of pants, bc that guy was morbidly obese and nothing else fit him. Roughly the time when he replaced them with cargo shorts.

- Is disappointed that being on 90 Day Fiance has not improved his follower counts.

​

After getting to know him, I was unapologetically rude to him, for fun, because his behavior was the worst. The general shop vibe was that we all got along at work, bc it was work, and we were adults, everyone could have their varying opinions and beliefs, yet still co-exist peacefully for a shift. Interestingly enough, dislike for Rob bonded all employees across the varying spectrums. We all tried to be nice to him at first, like any other new hire, until he started talking.

I’m open for questions lol. Let’s remember he is a person though. A goofy ass pick-me, yes, but if this gets super mean I’m taking it down.
