sliced cake

Kind of people you shouldn't hire:

I was craving for a swiss roll, and Bangawan Solo has a rather good coffee flavored ones. I buy them often enough to know that they slice the cake roll for you if you request them to do so. However on this unfortunate encounter:

Me: One coffee roll. Slice it please.

BS (a rather unfortunate acronym, don't you think?): Oh. Ah? Coffee Roll?

Me: Yes (pointing at the cake rolls). Sliced.

BS: (Taking out a single piece from the other side of the fridge. Single slices not the cake roll.)

Me: No, no... This one (pointing to the whole roll).

As BS was taking out the roll, I asked her to slice the cake roll for me. BS put back the cake roll and went back to the other fridge for a single slice.

This repeated a few times more. I eventually got my cake sliced, but it sure took some patience and elaborate hand gestures.

In conclusion, (and I say this with no elitism intended)... good help is impossible to find these days.
