Note: The Business Enterprises Program trains and places blind people in food service operations as a part of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program through the Washington State Department of Services for the Blind.
When I worked in the Business Enterprises Program as a BE Counselor, we would invariably get a call right as we sat down to lunch. A frantic vendor would shout into the phone, "My display refrigerator quit. Get someone down here at once. I'll lose all my merchandise".
Since the call usually came in from a location 100 to 250 miles away we were reluctant to drop our sandwiches and trot out to the facility.
"Did you check the plug?' we first asked.
"What do you take me for, some sort of a moron?" they would yell. . "just check to be sure," we admonished.
After a few minutes the sheepish answer came back. "Forget it, someone must have kicked the plug out".
We repaired lots of equipment that way.
