If you are a native Minnesotan, you probably heard of the local daytime talk show on [KMSP Fox 9](http://www.fox9.com/) called [The Jason Show](https://www.facebook.com/JasonShowTV/). For others that haven’t, The Jason Show is an entertainment talk show hosted by Twin Cities personality Jason Matheson and co-host Kendall Mark. One of the most popular segments on their show is called ‘[Kendall Tries Your 9 to 5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw9ZQXGmd68&list=PL055YID3vQX0Km1Moh9fbEPLwjQPn6iN9),' where the co-host visits local businesses and attempts to do their job.  We invited Kendall to our facilities to see if she had what it takes to make the easiest item in our store … or so we thought!
