I was the "Flower of the Week" Girl for about 2 years in my early 20's. I got a gigantic cart of flowers in the very early morning and delivered them one by one to offices all over downtown for a flower shop. Usually I swapped out the cart for a new one at lunch, but sometimes did three of them.

I got the old vase from last week and dropped off the new one to people's desks for the most part. Big offices might get 20 flowers or some crazy out of the way place might get only one.

This cart was so heavy and I was in and out of all kinds of buildings and offices and stores and warehouses and alleys and busy streets. These were not nice areas of town! People would steal the flowers and tried to pick me up or hit me with their cars as I was trying to drag that cart up and down curbs.

I made really good money for the early 80's - all cash - maybe $100 for about 10 hours work once a week. Then the flower shop went out of business or I would have still done it.
