America's Great Pickle Divide
All day long, Bryce Austin caters to pickle lovers. They flood the New York City store where he works to forage for pickles and pickled products. It's nauseating.
Austin, 20, has hated pickles for as long as he can remember. He wears a designated pair of pants to work at the Pickle Guys so he doesn't contaminate the rest of his wardrobe with the smell that follows him home. He has to taste-test pickles every week for the store, and keeps a trash can on standby for when he does.
