anyone who has ever needed quick, no-skill summer work in leicesterhas at some time worked for walkers crisps.
my personal experience involved putting 'tazos' into the bags - basically sitting on top of a machine in 45 degree heat, wearing ear defenders because of the mind-splitting noise, dropping tazos down a chute whenever a little red light came on. doing this for a 12 hour shift enduces catatonic states beyond anything i can describe. i cant believe it was cheaper to pay me £3.20 an hour that to buy one of those 'dippy drinking birds', like in the simpsons, to just keep prodding away.
i now make promotional videos for pharamceutical companies - which probably ranks only slightly below arms dealer in terms of morality issues.
