There was a dangerous point in my bartending career…
I worked at a fancy restaurant, and they bought a super fancy (like $35k) automatic espresso machine, that ground the beans to order and everything, with a touch screen.
I accidentally discovered that, if I got a little grease on my finger before telling it to make me a double shot, after it poured one, it would think my finger was still on the button, and immediately start pouring another.
So I would make a pint of espresso each evening for espresso martini, and then a quart for myself.

Wait, how’s that different from just making yourself 2 double shots?
A quart would be 16 2oz double shots.
Pro tip: if that’s also your reaction every time you see a coworker looking tired, saying so might not be a boon to your continued employment 🤔
Equating “looking tired” with “has had 12 coffees and a soda that also has caffeine in it” is wild.
I meant that saying “just do cocaine” to every tired looking coworker is probably inadvisable.
Depends on the industry.
Restaurant worker: “I can’t until I see my guy after work, coffee will have to do for now.”
You’re absolutely right, I didn’t consider that.
Certain parts of the music industry, and politics too.
Sure, but nobody said to do that, so the comment is a bit irrelevant, innit?
