    I would happily do that.

    My first thought is “great, I’m in back of house, don’t have to deal with customers and am basically getting paid to fidget”.

    That’s when I would realize it was too good to be true.

    sometimes I got tasks like that when I worked in a smoothie shop, it was like “this sucks, we have to write our phone number by hand on a thousand promo cups because they screwed up the printing.”

    I was like “DAMN! i guess ill just get to it. I mean, we have to get it done at some point, right?”

    everyone thought I was a martyr for neglecting our customers.

    I’d carefully write out legible numbers and imagine listening to the tinkle of the pennies that dropped into my pocket during those 15 seconds hahaha.

      Haha, I just had a childhood flashback. My parents had ordered a box full of boxes of business cards, and then the government decided to restructure how phone numbers worked, so I changed the area code on roughly a bazillion businesscards over what felt like several years, but was probably a week.
