bringing back souvenirs for their colleagues and bosses when they go on holiday somewhere :/

Damn, I used to do that for some coworkers because we were actually friends. I cannot imagine how shitty it would feel to be forced to do that.

Yeah, it's a whole thing, it's called omiyage and it's seen as an apology for your absence and thanking your boss and colleagues for allowing you time off.

...y'know, your entitlement to paid leave.

I wonder how far you could stretch it. Get them all (if you're coming to america, for instance) those little plastic acorns with a little item in it from those coin machines that used to be by every convenience store's doors. Though I haven't seen any of those in ages, so maybe not.

I haven't seen them outside of nerd spaces in years, but the hypothetical coworkers might be entertained by American Gashapon. I think the Japanese ones are always higher quality stuff than ours but there were some entertaining toy lines in those.
