A Beguiling Bagel

Our coffee shop has a drive-thru. I can hear my coworker taking an order over the headset.

Customer:
“Hi, can I have your vegan bagel?”

We only have three bagel options; none of them are vegan safe.

Coworker:
“I’m sorry, which bagel?”

Customer:
*Irritated* “The vegan one.”

Me:
“Does she mean the plain bagel?”

Coworker:
“Sorry, none of our bagels are vegan safe; do you want our plain bagel?”

Customer:
*Angrily* “No, I want your vegan! Bagel!”

Coworker:
“Um… I’m sorry, we don’t have a vegan bagel. I can only offer you plain, grain, or everything?”

Customer:
*Still irritated* “Fine, I guess I’ll have the grain one, then.”

Coworker:
“Okay. And anything else?”

Customer:
“Yes. Cream cheese with that, please.”
