Coffee machienes are a pain in the bum. The one I have to use used to not make milk foam for drinks... I hated having to serve bad coffee... Then the steamer half-broke -- it dropped somthing that hold the nozzle on... I hope your thingee gets sorted soon. ^^

I think if anybody has to work with equipment or anything electronic, the employer should hold special lessons in which EVERYONE learns how to make repairs. ^^
That way, if you have a problem, you can sort it out yourself without having to just stand there and rage at a machine. =P
Eh... my department manager hated my guts and had been trying to sack me for a while at that point, all because I caused her trouble by following her orders. I was very helpful to customers, but sometimes all the work through the shift overwhelmed me and in order to get out on time, I would have to close early and it was all a huge, complicated ordeal. The official reason was that I "was inattentive to a customer, who immediately called the front office and complained, which got [her] in trouble"... which is a bunch of bullshi~~~it! ^_^' Old customers I run in to are always shocked to hear I was fired and the store manager even tried to get me to come in and talk about getting my job back. I'm no fool. The full story's in my archives, somewhere around the beginning of November (I got fired the day after dropping somewhere around $80 at an anime convention).
Never work in a deli. Too much work, stress and grief for too little pay.
Aw... that would bite if you got fired. When I was fired from my job at a deli counter, the thing I began to miss the most aside from the nice customers and coworkers happened to be the food. Well... that and the ability to say I worked with knives and show off battle scars from fighting with the slicer. Shame I can barely tell now where I cut off a chunk of my finger.
Hahaha. Yeah. I said to my co-worker that I was just about to kick the stupid espresso machine. Except for the fact that I'd probably hurt myself and that thing cost more that a friggin Porsche. lol.
Too bad I'd like...get fired if I ate the food -_-'
Ugh. The trials and tribulations of work suck sometimes, doesn't it? If I were there, a whole lot of cussing and espresso-maker-beatings would be going on. *shifty eyes* ...and food-eating. I would totally make sure that food would not go to waste. d^__^b

Ew, that sounds not fun.
Yeah, I hoped it's fixed soon too. At least I don't have to work again until Wednesday, so it better be fixed before I go back. haha.

Or rage against the machine xD
*shot*
Yeah, well, we aren't allowed to try and fix any of the equipment. Some liability thing or whatever. It's dumb.

Man, that sucks. Stupid manager person. Phooey.
At least you'd just had fun at a con (even though that means you were behind on moneys and stuff. I always spend way too much at cons).

Yeah. The scars are great :3 I've always been quite a fan of scars. Not to mention the fact that the song by Papa Roach is just the beautiousness.
I'd love to work at a deli. Mind if I inquire as to why you were fired?
