I invite you to go work full time at your local big box store. Especially in Building Materials. Or Flooring perhaps. Yes, alot of retail is "hurry up and wait" on the front end, but in other departments there's literally tons of work that happens throughout the day and you'll never notice it if you're not there 40 hours a week.

Then we agree; hours worked in a job like that directly correlates to production or a butt in the seat is required at all times.

No, you statement was that "Many jobs are "warming a chair". Pretty much all of retail and service jobs."

Actually talking and helping customers isn't "warming a chair" any more than loading lumber or unloading appliances or working up quotes for custom orders.
