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?”
