Border Biscuits, known for its chocolate chip cookies, Dark Chocolate Gingers, shortbread rings and Viennese whirls, is hiring for a full-time cookie eating role with a cherry on top: free cookies, 35 days of vacation, free parking on-site, and access to free online workout classes, the job posting says.

“What is it you do for a living?”

“I’m a masterbiscuitier.”

“And you tell people about it?”

If it is anything like the quality control jobs at the local bakery here, the cookie tester will sure need the work out center!

My father-in-law once did that for Proctor & Gamble’s then Duncan Hines’ division when they made cookies, many years ago. He was supposed to spit the cookie out after tasting them, but he never did. The cookies that had issues went in unmarked bags to charities or something.

Silly Brits... and Scots. “Biscuits” are called cookies.

'Do they pay relocation costs as well?'

With a salary and bennies like that, I'd pay for my own relocation costs.

“What is it you do for a living?”

“I’m a masterbiscuitier.”

Jeffrey Toobin has filled that position.
