Only one unopened @Work Android Collectible remains, after today’s unveiling: Café Worker / Barista / Roaster. The box is nearly empty. What disappointment that is, too. Maybe I can share some other past purchases from Dead Zebra.
In the real world, this fine fella could either be unemployed or object of customer complaint. On April 1. 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour, which oddly is four bucks more than the mandate set for everyone else. Cost-cutting layoffs are rampant at burger joints, pizza, places, and the like—as are increased prices (hence, those disgruntled customers).

The Featured Image comes from Leica Q2. Vitals: f/2.8, ISO 320, 1/15 sec, 28mm; 7:26 p.m. PDT; composed as shot. I used the camera’s dedicated Macro mode, which is activated by turning a ring wrapped around the lens barrel.
