Before I start my story here is a machine similar to the one we have at work
A guy comes in and wanders over to the hot dog machine. He weakly pulls on the drawer that holds the buns, it doesn't open. He then turns to me and asks where the buns are. I tell him it's in the drawer he just tried to open.
I get distracted by a customer and when I look back at him he's pulling on the top of the machine. "What are you doing?" I ask, confused. "I'm trying to get the machine open so I can get a hot dog."
Stunned by his abject stupidity I tell him to push the button on the machine and use the tongs to remove it. He starts pressing on the little yellow triangles that warn people that the machine is hot.
"No, push the black button and hold it down." He pushes the black button and immediately lets go. "You have to push the button and hold it to get the machine to stop." He pushes it again and lets the button go again.
"No you have to hold it," I told him once more. He immediately grabs the top of the machine and starts pulling on it. "What are you doing?" I ask again. "I pushed the button and the machine still won't open." He whines.
Trying not to lose my temper I tell him, "You don't need to open the machine. Push the black button and remove the hot dog with the tongs." "It's too complicated, you have to do it for me."
I walked over and turned off the machine. I handed him the tongs and told him to simply remove the hot dog from the machine. I guess the annoyance was evident in my voice and he did exactly what I told him.
Seriously it's not that hard to make a flippin' hot dog is it?
