The Training Method

Newish girl is making a 'dipped ice cream cone'.
"You know," I say, "You're supposed to just let it hang upside down. Like that cool little diagram over there". I'm pointing two inches from the dipped cone area where a small picture diagram on the proper procedure for making it is located. The girl dips it in the chocolate and then holds it an an angle, then a more upright angle. Hot, unhardened, highly viscous chocolate is running all over the cone.
Sigh.
"Sure, and every time I do that it falls in."

"Well don't suck then."


End of conversation.

But seriously, if you make your cone correctly, and stir the mix, and make sure it is the proper temperature, IT WILL NOT FALL INTO THE MIX
So "stop sucking" is totally a justified response.
I've probably done at least 50 of them. Only had one drop, and it was not part of my first 10. I've had people waste three or more in a row, say, 'you do it' and I do it fucking perfectly.

People suck, and if they just did it the right way...
ugh, we have procedures for a reason. BECAUSE THEY WORK. There are people actually getting paid (probably a lot more than me) to research these procedures and how the best way to do something quickly and efficiently is. So just fucking do it.
Dammit.
