One Coffee Bean at a Time

You clock into work, ready for another grind—only to find out your grind today is literally sorting 10,000 coffee beans by hand! That’s right, due to a roasting blunder, unroasted beans have mixed with the roasted, creating a caffeine-fueled puzzle no one asked for.

Some employees might relish the challenge, and treat it like a bean-based “Where’s Waldo.” Others? They’re clock-watching, dreaming of a swift exit to anywhere that doesn’t involve sorting tiny brown nuggets of wakefulness. Tedious? Absolutely. But hey, the person who separates beans the fastest should at least win a free cup of coffee, don’t you think? The true bean counter’s Olympics!
