Company offers to wrap your Christmas purchases just as badly as you could do it yourself
So says Kat, my source on this story. It’s called "Crapwrap":
Firebox.com is paying 20 of its male forklift truck drivers and
warehouse assistants to wrap presents as quickly as possible, using
ugly brown duct tape and very little care.And the $9 service, cheekily called CrapWrap, has attracted more than 500 customers since it launched last week.
This way she’ll think you did it.
…Parcels can even be dispatched in brown paper with a shoddily-tied pink ribbon.
Kevin Smith, 29, is proud to be the worst wrapper at the company’s London warehouse.
He said: "I am rubbish. We’re not given any instructions. I’m just
asked to make a hash of it using lots of brown tape and making sure
there are rips and untidy folds."It’s nice to get away from the normal work: cleaning, packing and moving stuff around. Wrapping is a good distraction."
LOL, brilliant!
That is truly excellent.
There ought to be a government intervention to create more jobs such as these where skills are de-valued. (kidding.)
I can imagine expanding this to personal shopping. You could
send someone with similar questionable taste to buy gifts.
