10:50 true story: When working as a Pepsi delivery driver, while finishing a delivery at a Circle K (gas station) in Streetsboro Ohio. I had to get a signature for the order. I waited in line patiently and when it was my turn the manager behind the counter said “I can’t sign that here, you have to bring it around” And I’m looking at it his bitch like “wtf is wrong with this woman?” So yes, I have had to walk around a desk or in my case, a counter.
