Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

Come to think of it, a dealer tech recently told me that they get paid by the task, not by the hour. So they are incentivized to finish up and get on to the next. Bad design holds them up - and frustrates the crap out of any normal person. It makes me think of the 'memes' on Facebook that show bone...
