If you ever worked in the food service industry. The walk in freezer is where a person sometimes goes for a brief smoke break. Sometimes birds of a feather would congregate in there. Like Uncle Ebenezer.
@RazchakRuffnek I've absolutely pondered the meaning of Tweezer's lyrics since long before my 1st show (The Lemonwheel) & of all of the suggestions I've heard over my 27 years of hardcore touring and about 30+ years of die hard Phish phandom. I am pleased to tell you that your take on what it could all mean is absolutely by far my favorite. I can completely relate to your entire take on what the lyrics could refer to, of course this is probably because I worked in both corporate chain restaurants & a couple privately owned restaurants. I was a server...

I was a server & bartender throughout almost all of my undergrad studies & my entire post graduate studies as well.
In the times now known as 1.0 in the mid to late 90's I worked at the corporate restaurant that is spoofed in both of the movies "Waiting" & "Office Space." I feel the need to inform everyone the horrifying truth that the movie "Waiting" is practically a documentary, I'm fairly positive that whoever wrote that movie definitely worked at the same place I did leading me to believe that it wasn't just my specific restaurant that was EXACTLY LIKE THAT. During that time in the 1990's, when there was still a smoking section for guests in the restaurant & in the back of the house/kitchen area it was so filled with cigarette smoke that you'd sometimes have to wave it away from your fave just to breathe...among a plethora of other craziness going on from opening to closing and long after the doors were locked. That place was soul crushing & the worst of all of the restaurants I've ever worked. I quit my job there a few days before I followed the lines going south to Florida for Big Cypress. Of all of the places I was a server, that one had the craziest behavior of every last member of the staff- including the General Manager who may have been the worst of everyone. I can absolutely say that craziest & most horrific things I've ever seen people who make & serve your food do were at that restaurant. I shudder just thinking of it & if someone went into THAT walk in freezer with a black light it'd prolly light up more than the worst motel rooms on earth.
Every corporate chain restaurant I'd ever worked in had the worst behavior. The privately owned restaurants were much better to work at & the people working there respected the customers & took pride in working at those restaurants so much more. With that said, the craziest stuff l that went on in all of the restaurants I've ever worked at 99% of the time went down I can personally say that some of the craziest times I've had, or happened to interrupt, while working in restaurants absolutely went on the stuff I've done, known was done or happened to interrupt being done while working in restaurants absolutely went on in the cold, cold, cold, cold, cold walk in freezers.
While, like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the true meaning behind the Tweezer lyrics may never be known. But, I think this is the story gonna stick with. Especially since the answers below about keeping their sheets, strips & hits of L in the freezer are definitely the absolute wrong way to store your tabs if you want them to keep their potency or even work at all. Because, for those who don't know, when you store your tabs in the freezer, no matter what you have them wrapped in for freshness (including vacuum sealing), as soon as you remove them from the freezer condensation (aka water droplets) immediately begin to collect on the packaging. This will dilute your L within seconds and the longer it sits the more condensation will seep onto your L and you'll be lucky if they even work at all. FYI- Store your tabs at room temperature for maximum efficiency over short or long periods of time. You’re Welcome😉
