“Totally not doing anything weird.”

So if Woot! were to actually sell these, how much would you shell out for one? Just curious

I would pay upwards of $1 maybe?

As cool as they are, they’re a little limited in their appeal but fun to have.

I guess I would classify them as ephemeral collectibles from the Covid era.

I’d like to see what the Antiques Roadshow would say about them 30 years from now.

It’s a good question. I can get pins made but not sure people would want to pay for them.

How pieces of flair are Woot staffers required to wear?

[ThunderThighs]

shirt.woot shirts are frequently worn but not required.

I don’t see any woot WFH pins on ebay yet.

Well you probably have to trade one to @davejlives every time you want to take a bathroom break at work. He stands there by the door and you get to pin it on him.

[bsmith1]

I still want to know what they are actually for.

For the people working at home? Nobody will see them wearing it, right? They’re…at home.
I still think it’s a passive aggressive way for people being forced to report to the office to express their desire to work remotely.

The pin sparks joy to own, because of the loyalty and desire to serve our supreme leaders, Mortimer and monte

It doesn’t require anyone else to see.

Kind of like Pin the Tail on the Donkey?

Except on the front, not the back.

Don’t you get “job gifts”? I’m petty sure they keep giving me shirts with the logo across the chest because I’m free advertisement. I’ve gotten pine trees (earth day), gloves, ice scrapers, golf tees, water bottles, coffee mugs, glasses, placemats, coasters, stress balls, pizza cutter, an umbrella… I’m just one big walking logo for the place.

Product placement is very important.

I still haven’t figured out why the company whisky is so terrible. We give that stuff out the same way Andy did with Aunt B’s pickles. You’re not allowed out of town until you’ve taken a bottle.
