Malfunctioning Kitchen Appliances

One day, a chef named Charlie was working at a fast food restaurant. He was having a normal, but busy, workday. He was making good food for the customers. But suddenly, the grill started acting strangely. It went to the maximum temperature despite being at a lower setting. The deep fryer also seemed to be randomly changing the temperature setting.

Charlie tried his best to fulfill the customers' orders despite the malfunctions. He put a burger on a tray along with some fries. He then got a drink, but the soda machine was pouring out flat soda. He then put the tray on the counter, where a customer took it to his table.

The customer took out his burger, but the patty was burnt. His fries also felt cold. When he drank the soda, he spit it out in disgust. He then ran up to the counter and angrily yelled, "THE FOOD IS MESSED UP! THE BURGER IS BURNT, THE FRIES ARE COLD, AND THE SODA IS FLAT!" The cashier then went up to Charlie and asked, "WHY DID YOU MESS UP THAT GUY'S ORDER?" "It wasn't my fault, "Charlie replied. "I think the kitchen appliances are malfunctioning."

The cashier then watched Charlie fill another order. He then took a look at the burnt burger, the cold fries, and the flat soda. He then went to the back and yelled, "MANAGER, I NEED YOU!" A man then came up to him and asked, "What do you need?" "The kitchen appliances are behaving strangely, "the cashier said. "People are running up to the counter and complaining about burnt patties, cold fries, and flat soda."

The man then went into the kitchen, where Charlie was filling another order. He noticed the beef patty getting burnt even though the temperature was correct. He then went up to the deep fryer, where the fries were apparently not heating up. He then opened up the soda machine and noticed that the containers had holes in the top of them. "This is so strange, "the man said. The man then yelled, "Due to a malfunction in the kitchen, the restaurant is now closed! We will give everyone $10 gift cards as compensation!" Everyone then left the restaurant, including Charlie. The manager then went into his office to order replacement equipment. A few days later, the restaurant was re-opened and the equipment was working normally again. All of the customers thanked the employees for their discounted meals.
