Bread And Prejudice
Customer: “Can I have a ham and cheese sandwich, please?”
Me: “Would you like that on white or brown bread?”
Customer: “I don’t mind. I’m not prejudiced.”
Me: “You’re not… prejudiced?”
Customer: “Not at all, sure the other day I ate some ‘properdoms’!” (That’s how she pronounced papadums – the flat crunchy bread you get in Indian restaurants.) “They were lovely.”
Me: “Oh, good. Now what type of bread would you like?”
(At this point a woman of another ethnicity that had been served by my coworker leaves. Suddenly, this customer becomes visibly relieved.)
Customer: “Give me some good, God-fearing white bread!”
