Strawberry picking

So there was one summer where I was pretty bored and itching to make a few extra bucks. My friend and I decided that we were going to go strawberry picking in the fields. You were paid $2 for every crate of strawberries you packed, so it didn't really amount to very much. You tagged each crate with a sticker so that they knew who had packed it. We weren't feeling particularly energetic that day, so my friend and I positioned ourselves next to cart where everyone dropped off their crates that they packed. Every half hour or so, someone would come along and pick up the crates. In between the pickup times, we would take turns re-tagging the crates that people brought to the cart, while filling up our crates. We ended up going home making $300 for the day while doing about $40 worth of work.
