Too much perfectionism at work will slowly kill you, but just the right amount of it is...perfect. Especially when it results in a meticulously stacked pile of carrots in a supermarket. You might be wondering if you're in an art gallery!
Bored Panda collected a bunch of satisfying examples of perfectionism at work. These people definitely deserve a raise, or your upvote! Check this post for more symmetry, or this one if your inner perfectionist is feeling naughty. Upload your pics, too!

The people who did this forget two things: People actually have to buy products ie. take them from shelf and customers are a******s
As a reformed perfectionist; I no longer believe "perfection" exists, I believe that it is a human concept. And as someone who is learning to live life on life's terms. I would say that these are examples of people trying to the best that they can, and also have very high standards.
