Yesterday I went to the factory. That would be nothing special in itself as I spend most of my time at the factories, but this time it was special. I had to check whether they made some changes to the production line according to our requirements. They did, which was to be expected (they are really good partners, after all), but they did it... well, creatively.
First there was request for one of the workers to wear protective gloves. A sensible thing when you are operating high-voltage tester, isn't it'? Now she sorta does it... wearing only one glove.
The idea of protective (read: rubber) footwear was taken really creatively as well. Who needs that boreign safe ugly rubber boots when you can get all these surplus army training shoes which are cheaper and will make you feet smell just as awful?
And then I saw how they complied to the third requirement - block the conveyor line so that nothing will escape testing. You do it by adding some bar or piece of wood or whatever just over the conveyor belt. They chose the "whatever" option and installed a poker (the kind you poke in the fireplace) across the conveyor...
Now you understand why I'm afraid of Chinese creativity, don't you?
