Oh heck, just don't ask me for a latte frother where the difference is a button that you hold down or a button you click.

Seriously ... a lady was quite vociferous about this.

Ummm... aren't you holding the frother down in the milk anyway? Like, whether you manually hold the button down or whether you click the button and it stays on, you still hold the fu...' frother down in the milk!

"Oh, but I want to be able to release the button while I'm holding the frother in the milk instead of pressing the button whilst I'm holding it in the milk!" Uh ... you're already holding the frother in the milk. What are you gaining? "Well, I don't have to press it." Don't you have to press it anyway? It's a button. It's a button on a frother. That you hold down in milk.

What difference is this? Why are you bothering me about this when I have 10 people in line asking about pots, pans, and knives, oh ... and that face-lift with the too-tucked nose in Cookware 2 who wants me to retrieve a hold item for her ... for a measuring cup. A measuring cup where we have 23 of the same available in the aisle.

<gg> All meant in good faith, of course. Just some oddball anecdotes.
