Thoughts in the Workplace
It's always exciting when we launch a new Morale Patch because you never know what you're going to get. Some of them are big hits, and others, fall flat on their face and end up just taking up space in our warehouse. It's all gravy, though. That's part of the hustle out here in the patch game.
What we find even more entertaining is checking out every order that comes in on a launch day to see what our customers are purchasing. When somebody buys that new patch, it's a pretty good feeling. Even better when they buy a couple stickers to match. But, when those orders come in and they're for nothing to do with what we launched, we're kinda just like "Man, what the fuck?". More specifically, the people who place orders that don't even have a patch in it, like we're not a fuckin' patch company...?
Don't get me wrong, we value each and every one of you who decides our shit is worth spending your hard-earned money on, but like, you didn't see a single patch you liked? There's nothing like fulfilling an order for a dude who buys 37 different stickers and a damn garden shovel and just thinking, "How did you even end up here? What is your profession?"
Maybe it's just a commitment thing. Like if you buy one patch, then a couple more, where does it end? Are you going to be one of those guys with the entire cabin of his truck filled with patches? That's not for me to decide, but yes.
Just rambling,
