TIME TO MAKE THE DOUGHNUTS
It’s Not a Job For Just Anyone

Below is an excerpt, just an excerpt, mind you, from a help-wanted advertisement in yesterday’s Philadelphia Inquirer:

BAKER Doughnut . . . Mix & bake ingredients acc. to recipes to produce breads, pastries and other bakery products. Measure flour, sugar, shortening & other ing. to prepare batters, doughs, fillings & icings, using scale & graduated containers. Dumping. Into mixing-machine bowl or steam kettle to mix or cook ingredients acc. to specifications. Roll, cut & shape dough to form sweet rolls, piecrust, tarts, cookies & related products prepatory [sic] to baking. Place dough in pans, molds or on sheets & bake in oven or on grill. Operate automatic machinery, e.e. [sic] rounding, curling, icing, slicing & wrapping machines. Observe color of products being baked and turn thermostat or other controls to adjust oven temperature. Apply glaze, icing or other tipping [sic] to baked goods, using spatula or brush. Attend to sudden unexpected rush business.

Yeah, yeah, we get it. You want somebody to make doughnuts and stuff. Gee whiz.

That “dumping” is a nice touch, huh?
