Fattening Fallacies

Me: “Welcome to [Coffee Shop]. What can I get for you?”

Customer: “Could I get that donut right there?” *points*

Me: “Sure thing.”

(I put it on a plate and hand it to him.)

Customer: “Can you heat it up for me, please?”

Me: “No problem. I’ll just be a minute.”

Customer: “Put it in for exactly seven seconds. If you microwave food for seven seconds, it becomes negative calories. Did you know that?”

Me: “Um… I don’t think that’s how food works.”

Customer: “Well, how would you know? You’re just a part-time employee at a coffee shop.”

Me: “I work part-time to pay for University… where I study health and nutrition…”

Customer: “What are they teaching kids these days?!” *walks away angrily without the donut*

Me: “Have a nice day?”
