My job was to sit at the machine that applied the magnetic strip and watch it operate at about 30 cards per minute. Every 10 – 15 minutes it would choke on a card then I would have to take that card, put it in a box, then push a button to restart the machine. I only moved 4 – 5 times an hour and couldn’t read, listen to music, or talk to anyone else and all while wearing and ensemble that included safety goggles, a hair net and leather gloves. The worst part (and I’m sure that this was intentional) was that I faced a wall with nothing on it except a clock so I could tell exactly how slow the day was going. This was NOT my dream job or my last job.
