The darn rest stop again!

Ok, I have a college degree. I can work most copiers, but today began being beaten by a coffee machine-actually a "kaffe" machine. On our way to Amsterdam, we stopped at a Rasthaus (rest stop)for a coffee and a tea. I bravely offered to go in to get them while Josh walked the dog. As soon as I entered, I spotted a very modern, shiny, automated machine that spit out coffe, tea, cocoa, cappuccino, etc. I found the button that said "thee" which appeared to be the closest thing to "tea". It had an "XL" next to it, so I got a cup from the "XL" stack. I placed it under the main spout and pressed "thee". Nothing. Almost immediately, a woman walked up in a uniform that matched the raststop logo and made herself a tea at the matching machine next to me. In my best German, I asked the woman in the Netherlands (Dutch) if she spoke English. The error didn't dawn on me right away because she answered in a very pleasant "yes!". I inquired about the tea and she showed me that the cup goes under the water spout, not the main one, and that you choose one of the nicely wrapped, individually boxed, tea bags. I moved my cup to the correct nozzle, unwrapped a nice earl gray and hit the "thee" button once again. Again, nothing. She looked over and asked if I put money in. Of course not. Who puts money in the machine?! I opened my wallet and took out a two euro coin only to see that it takes all euro coins EXCEPT two's. As I stood there feeling so beaten by the machine, looking at the two euro coin in my hand, the nice, uniformed, woman pointed to the corner of the store and explained that I needed to get change from that machine to put in this one. Mission finally accomplished-josh was getting whatever hot drink my remaining non-two euro coins would by. I walked out with a tea and a cappuccino awhile after I had walked in, laughing audibly. Josh immediately smiled and asked "how'd that work out for you???". Please let Amsterdam be easier than the shiny, modern, kaffe machine!
