Mine too, until I found the "toast" button on the front.
It fooled me because when I pushed down the bread, a light came on, the heaters came on, the toaster got hot, and, eventually, after a long time, I got toast. So, being completely stupid, I figured that the toaster was toasting.
I was a fool.
No, the way my toaster was designed, after all that stuf starts, then I have to pick one of four almost identical buttons with little symbols on them to actually start toasting the bread so as to finish the toasting within, say, a week.
That's right, unbenownst to me, I had actually bought a Crock-Toaster. A toaster designed to be started on your way out the door in the morning, so that when you get home at night - ding! - you have fresh, hot toast ready for you.

My toaster was given to me and my wife as a wedding present, 50 years ago.
