Where is the Pride in One's Work?

As consumers we have a simple way of voting for what products are good or not, from what we buy often and what we avoid paying for.

But sometimes, you have to face something you'd normally pass up because either it's a gift, offered to you by the host at a party, or as part of your job.

Sometimes you can just grin and bear it. Other times, the overwhelming response is wanting to go to the factory, the source of the product, and yell at the Quality Assurance Officer "What the hell made you think this is good enough for the world out there?"
