And when he sells out, he sprints back down to the commissary under the stands to refill, hurries back out, and does it again.Īnd he runs. And every time he has to serve a customer he has to bend to put the hot box down, and stay bent over while he works to keep from blocking fans view of the game, then he has to pick the box back up, boost it up to rest on the top of his head, and dash on up the aisle yelling Hot Dogs!. The bad part is, Jose has to carry a 40 pound hot box loaded at the start with 36 hot dogs sitting in a tub of boiling water, and buns and mustard and ketchup and paper to wrap around the hot dog. Hot dogs sell better than anything else, except drinks and ice cream on the really hot days. Jose is selling hot dogs in right on this night. Its the only job where you get paid to work out.
Then he adds I dont have to go to the gym all summer. Its a ton of work, but its a ton of fun. Hes 27, and hes been a vendor for years. Keep your day job.īut then, Jose Magrass, like many of the vendors, doesnt have a day job. Lord, do they work! Your correspondent, in the never-ending quest to bring you every aspect of the Fenway experience, recently spent a grueling stint serving hot dogs in the right field stands. But did you ever pay any attention, real attention, to what those vendors do? How much they work and sweat and hustle? All to make a few bucks, and make it possible for you to stay in your seat and eat and drink your way through a ballgame. Sounds of the game, as much as the crack of the bat or the roar of the crowd.
