Coffee anyone? home > backlash

A bizarre attempt at demonstrating how "helpful" instructions can spoil life.

Not from personal experience.

MEMORANDUM

From : Friend Industrial Products Plc - not just your employer, your friend in workplace.
To : All staff
Regarding : the new coffee making facilities

Since we had the new cappuccino maker installed, there have been a number of irregularities. We wish to confirm the rules and operating instructions for the use of this machine. We hope that all employees will enjoy using the machine for their coffee drinks.

Using the machine

Sprinkles

You have a choice of chocolate or cinammon sprinkles on your drink. Unfortunately, both of these are on order at the moment and neither are available. Please do not use the drinking chocolate in lieu of legitimate sprinkles

Booking

Due to the lengthy process of making your refreshing drinks, there is a booking procedure. You will only be able to make a maximum of six cappuccinos in the working week, with no more than two allowed in the same day. Please contact the company secretary for booking information.

Enjoy the new drinks maker.
