Weird 1-off jobs

I went to a store that had a porter. We have a demo specialist which I've been told is a thing of the past in other regions. Another had a concierge. These don't exist in our region. What other weird jobs are out there.

I worked at the holiday table today. I was embarrassed to give half of that food to customers. Some of it looked like cheap slop. You could see the disappointment in their faces after waiting for 20 minutes for their food to arrive.
