I wouldn't. While it's kinda humorous, it does increase the processing time/cost. While this guy is drawing a bunny, he could be packing the next customer's shipment instead. If every customer needs a bunny on their box, then more employees are needed to meet all of the customers' "special requests", and that's going to increase the cost of the product.

It's funny the first time, cumbersome the next.
REALLY!? I mean SERIOUSLY!? Look at the damn bunny... do you really think it took more then 60 seconds to draw? ....People need to lighten up

Which is why they will probably only do it this once since it was an unusual request and they found it funny so they did it.


Sort of like this:

^^LMAO

I got the idea from someone posting about ordering a pizza. In the special instructions box they put "driver must beat box" and the driver was able to.

and then the world would end...

that what happened to narasena, never heard of it?

it was a planet that rotated around the earth in the same orbit but exactly 180 degrees away from earth, it was desroyed because of multiple people asking a company to draw stuff on their shipments... long story but the planet was eventually destroyed.

I'm just saying it's a waste of time. How would you like it if you had to do some ridiculous special request every time you did part of your job? Sure, the first time it might be funny, but eventually you'd get annoyed by it. Plus, it's just wasting your time and not adding any value to the deliverable.

I don't think I need to "lighten up," I'm just stating the obvious truth. It's funny the first time, but cumbersome the next. If everybody goes around making goofy little special requests, it'll either result in the company denying/ignoring these requests, charging extra for the request, or charging extra for the product/service in general. It's just something to keep in mind. Either way, it would completely cease being entertaining for anyone.

or, it provides them extra business and thus greater profits through free advertising like this, thus offsetting any lost productivity.

also,












why the fuck are we arguing about the cost/benefits of drawing a bunny on a box? jebus.
