The narrator tells us that he's picky about people he works with. He wants someone who has a good personality and is willing to work for less money than he does. He's also a little picky about the food he eats. He orders a chicken-thigh-burger from the delivery man and tells the boy to eat it slowly. The narrator then tells us how he used to be a student at the bottom of the class. His dad would beat him up when he got home, but he wasn't like the narrator.
