Some stupid manager hired this 55 year old woman at our tech bench. She knows NOTHING.

She was telling me about how she was trying to find a coffee pot that would do everything.. grind the beans at a certain time, turn on at a certain time, make a certain amount, etc. etc.
I told her she wasn't looking for a coffee pot.. she was looking for a wife..

she looked at me kind of funny..

at the best buy I work at most of the permanent people really know their stuff. There are the seasonals that don't know jack; but they will all get fired anyway.

Hate to tell you but there are a number of coffee pots that will grind the bean in the machine and then turn on at a specified time. They aren't cheap but they're available. I don't know if you can restrict how much it makes though...unless you are manually adding the water instead of using a water line.

Are you insinuating that because she's 55 she doesn't have the skills needed to repair PCs? Or at least the skills that Best Buy requires?

way to make friends.... And, I think there is a coffee maker that does that.
A lot of people like to grind their own coffee beans. (Makes a better cup of coffee than most regular brands to have freshly ground coffee beans, imho)

55 = old lady? Yeah, she's no Spring chicken but I envisioned her to be like 70 or so.

This is true, at least par with my personal experience in my area.
