Overview
Daniel worked night shifts from 10 PM to 6 AM at a UK petrol station for roughly nine months starting in 2016 to earn money following a return from Taiwan, ultimately leaving due to friction with a Nepalese coworker and reprimands from the manager over YouTube videos complaining about the job.
One year after leaving petrol station employment, Daniel noted remaining without formal employment while being supported by video creation, and reviewed a 7-Eleven onion beef burger priced at ¥298 on an episode of Cooking with Daniel, awarding it a rating of 7 out of 10.
