One brick at a time: Goodwill’s ‘Lego Guy’ awarded for sorting expertise
“We’ve had stores before that try to separate the Legos,” Martin said. “We’ve tried separating them ourselves, but it takes a tremendous amount of patience and attention to detail. and that’s what Robert brings to the table.”
Before Robert, Martin said that the task was one that few could handle and no one else had mastered.
“Any one of us would get fed up after a couple of minutes trying to do the job, and then the level of quality would just go down,” he said.
“Robert has a tremendous knack for being able to identify what is Lego and what is not Lego and his attention to detail is what really sets him apart from everyone else,” Martin said. “It’s incredible to watch him work on a daily basis. From 5 feet out, Robert can tell you whether a piece is a Lego, a Mega Blok or something else.”
