I do not, for a few reasons (none of them being that my job lacks repetative, meaningless elements)
1) For the customers, this is always the first time. I may have done this before but they may never have. Remembering where they are helps deal with boredom.
2) My coworkers & colleagues are lovely people who work well together.
3) My boss can be difficult but he is also pretty bright & quite a bit shrewder than I am, which is both educational & helpful to me.
4) Most jobs have a much higher misery index than mine does; remembering this is very effective at keeping boredom under control.
5) No two days (or moments) are ever exactly the same. Understanding this helps increase job longevity, amongst other things.
6) If you don't mind my saying so, it sounds like you need a vacation. Camping is not expensive (even if you have to buy some equipment) and the most important thing about a vaca is the quiet - letting it seep into your bones. Mountains are a little better than beaches for this, but the choice is yours. Break the routine, breath deeply & slowly, let your eyes focus on the vastness of the Milky Way with a few crickets chirping in the background, or the sea/sky horizon with the gentle crash of little breakers filling your ears all day as you lounge under a big umbrella.
7) Learn to meditate, & the routine will not bother you because you will learn how to relax. Humans are too good at generating tension & very poor at dispelling it. Eric Harrison's books are very accessible & well written - he is 100% secular & non-sectarian - it's just working with the breath.
Peace & good luck!

OFFICE SPACE -- RENT IT, KNOW IT, LIVE IT.
Do things throughout the day to breakup your daily routine.
Go to a park for 30 minutes - an hour. Instead of JUST going to lunch; eat your lunch in the park.

Yep. But I prefer it to sleeping under an overpass and eating out of dumpsters.

Yes, I do the same thing everyday, and feel like I need to get out of this rut, what can we do?

Sounds like you need a vacation, even if it's just a four-day weekend.
