Okay but do you want to do that hundreds or thousands of times?

    Like, 8 hours a day, at a desk, for money, over the course of an entire career...? Yeah, that's why I'm filling out this application.

    If you're filling out the exact same data into forms for 8 hours a day for 50 years, maybe automate it?

    now we're at the victim blaming stage where we expect people to utilize 100k a year job skills just to fill out applications for burger king.

    Who in Burger King spends all their days filling out the exact same data all the time? Most people I see at Burger King are making food.

    I was replying to the person saying that it's important that people show they can fill out forms with precision and I'm saying that filling out the same exact data into a bunch of forms isn't what anyone does at their job because if it was, that position should be automated away anyway.
