I am not an expert on toasters, but I'm definitely an expert on toast. There has been a disturbing trend in restaurants in recent years not to explain to the help what the word "toast" means. Some people like it light and some people like it dark, but no one on earth likes it when it arrives as a hot, wet piece of bread. It's ****ing maddening, I cannot get a proper piece of toast anywhere these days! I usually have to ask for it burnt, (even though that is not how I like it), just to get it toasted. Makes me nutty.

I would think that a decent *made in China* Target unit would suffice if it had the right operator, but I have also encountered some newer, fancy toasters that take 10 minutes to brown a piece if bread. I've told many a restaurant that they need a new toaster. WTF is the world coming to, people??
