SO, I've a coffee maker poker

SO, I go to the cafeteria at my new workplace to get some coffee, and there’s a human person there to operate the coffee machine.

Which means that instead of you poking the button on the machine by yourself, you go to this guy, wait for him to notice your presence, and when he acknowledges your existence with an upward nod, you tell him what you would like to have:
Latte, Espresso, Cappuccino ...

And then HE will do the “POKING the BUTTON” for YOU; and serve you Cappuccino (Oh ya, that’s how it works. No matter what you order, he always serves the Cappuccino, and further questions are not entertained.)

Then you take the overflowing/leaking/half spilled cup of capp. from him -> find yourself sugar -> add it in your coffee (& spill some more out) -> find a stirrer (& spill some more out)-> stir it (& spill some more) …

Now, that seems a lot of hard-work to me. I really wouldn’t mind a helper for that.

I say, If we really want to give POKER a job, let’s make him the STIRRER!
