“10-8? I might as well not even go home tonight. I ain’t got…10-8. I can’t get up in the morning… WHAT? 10-8,” he says.

“Nahhh it’s the 3-11 & opening the next morning for me,” one viewer commented.
“I do 9pm-10am every day,” a second said.
“I’d say 1pm-11pm is worst shift,” another wrote.
“Try 7pm-7am 7 days a week,” one viewer argued.
Other people criticized Porter for complaining about his work schedule.
“You get to sleep in and don’t have to close. it’s not that bad,” one person stated.
“People really complain about hourly schedules at least you know where you’re going to leave,” a second added.
“Bro work a 22 hour day then get back to me about how the 10-8 is bad,” a third commented.
“I work shifts like that on a regular basis. That’s life unfortunately. Still barely make enough to pay bills,” another echoed.
There were a few people who jumped to Porter’s defense, chastising others in the comments about one-upping each other with their work schedules.
“Not y’all in the comments competing for the struggle olympics you don’t have to try and see who works longer to feel better,” one condemned.
“Always people thinking their longer shifts a flex,” a second stated.
