In the Meat Department | Costco Meat Wrapper | Costco Fan Art | Salmon Audio Loft

This is part of my story as I hustle to stabilize my career--grinding in marketing while wrapping meat at Costco every shift. 🎤💼🥩 Some days I’m trayin’ fish, some days I’m stocking chicken cases, some days I’m closing—but every shift, I’m back to wrapping meat, hence Meat Wrapper. I rapped an original for a co-worker and he encouraged me to produce some about Costco (more to come). Ever felt stuck in a job way below your pay grade? This track is for you. Retail life, workplace struggles, and the absurdity of it all---rapped raw.

Used to drop ads, now I drop trays of trout, They never trained me, just said, “Figure it out.” I told ‘em I’m ready to push them carts, Or work the floor, but they playin’ it hard. Denied for positions, stuck with these fishes, They say I’m a meat guy, can’t grant me my wishes. And that’s why I’m goin’ crazy... In the meat department. In the meat department, I’m stuck in this freeze, Clam juice drippin’ down my legs to my knees. I was stackin’ six figures, now I’m stackin’ up trays, One hour from full-time but they like it this way. In the meat department, I’m tryna break free, But they keep me trayin’ fish and grindin’ ground beef. Grindin’ my time and grindin’ my teeth, But I’m losin’ my mind with this schedule on repeat. Sac State grad, I ain't Harvard elite, But this work way below my corporate seat. I told ‘em I’m gifted, they told me to lift it, Trayin’ up fish while my talents stay driftin’. Health benefits? Yeah, I got ‘em for real, But 15% of my check pays the bill. One hour from full-time, like it makes a change, Ain’t no extra pay, man, just a title exchange. And that’s why I’m goin’ crazy... In the meat department. In the meat department, I’m stuck in this freeze, Clam juice drippin’ down my legs to my knees. I was stackin’ six figures, now I’m stackin’ up trays, One hour from full-time but they like it this way. In the meat department, I’m tryna break free, But they keep me trayin’ fish and grindin’ ground beef. Grindin’ my time and grindin’ my teeth, But I’m losin’ my mind with this schedule on repeat. They won’t teach me knives, won’t teach me to cut, Just toss me the salmon and tell me “Good luck.” Tried to escape, but they blockin’ the door, Said I’m meat for life, can’t work the floor. One day I’m gone, man, mark my words, Gonna trade this tray for a job with some perks. Till then, I’m here, just losin’ my mind, One hour from full-time, trapped in the grind. And that’s why I’m goin’ crazy... In the meat department. In the meat department, I’m stuck in this freeze, Clam juice drippin’ down my legs to my knees. I was stackin’ six figures, now I’m stackin’ up trays, One hour from full-time but they like it this way. In the meat department, I’m tryna break free, But they keep me trayin’ fish and grindin’ ground beef. Grindin’ my time and grindin’ my teeth, But I’m losin’ my mind with this schedule on repeat. So if you see me, just nod and pray, That I get out this fish pit someday. But till then, I wrap, I stock, I sigh, Welcome to Costco, enjoy your buy. #costcolife #comedyrap #retailproblems #costcodoesitagain #funnyrap #workstruggles #costcodeals #independentartist #viralsong #workplacecomedy
