The Trolley Problem - Barista Edition
You're a barista at a busy coffee shop. It's the morning rush and there's a long line of customers waiting for their caffeine fix. Suddenly, the espresso machine breaks down, threatening to delay everyone's orders. The line starts to get impatient and grumpy.
You have two options:
Pull the lever on the secret panic button under the counter. This will unleash a horde of angry pigeons from a hidden nest in the ceiling. The birds will swoop down, startling the customers and causing a chaotic stampede out of the shop. This will give you a few precious minutes to secretly repair the espresso machine before the customers return. However, the pigeons may poop on people and cause a scene.
Don't pull the lever and continue taking orders normally. The espresso machine will take a while to fix, delaying everyone's drinks. The customers will get more and more frustrated, with some possibly complaining loudly or leaving angry Yelp reviews. But at least no one will be pooped on by angry pigeons.
What do you do?
