No coffee maker. No cake.

On April 18, the coffee maker failed. The waitresses had to walk to the Cafe/Store next door and use
the tiny one cup machine to fill a carafe - with decaffinated coffee! AARGH!
Then on the morning of the 19th, there was no coffee of any kind, because the Cafe door had been left locked.
     We had tea bags, and a stack of insulated carafes are sitting unused in the kitchen, but our waitress said she was too busy to bring us hot water.  I had depended on Instant coffee in my room to sustain me through the dearth of coffee service,
        A new coffee maker has been ordered and should arrive next Monday.
        Today was the monthly birthday party, but I could not eat cake at 3.30 after ingesting chicken-fried -steak-salad at noon. (It was tasty).  The cake left overs were not saved for the dinner hour, as was previously done by the kitchen staff. Now that Amy is in charge of the birthdays, she "takes the cake" away.
