The Cake Ingredient Delay
PM 8/1 8:12 AM The customer came by and said they need a cake. When can you have that done? John 8/1 8:20 AM Ok, we will order the ingredients for a cake. We will have to wait until the ingredients come in before we can start working on that. PM 8/9 8:09 AM Ok, most of the ingredients are in, can you start working on the icing at least? John 8/9 12:41 PM If we start working on the icing now, it will spoil before get the rest of the ingredients for the cake. PM 8/11 4:20 PM I need you to start on the icing anyways.
A text-message conversation shows a customer and an employee repeatedly delaying the preparation of a cake because the ingredients are not ready. The joke is the employee’s absurdly slow, overly literal workflow and the manager’s growing impatience, making it useful as a reaction to procrastination or bureaucratic excuses.
