Mayo-No-No, Part 2
(I am working the register at a sandwich shop at a theme park. A customer walks in with her mother.)
Me: “Hello, what can I get for you today?”
Customer: “Do y’all have turkey sandwiches?”
Me: “Yes, we do. It comes with your choice of chips, salad, or fruit.”
Customer: “Salad. I am on a diet so I can’t have any fat. By the way is your bread on the turkey sandwich fat free?”
Me: “Yes, I believe so. I can go ask our chef if you would like.”
Customer: “No, it’s okay. I think you are right. Is your turkey fat free?”
Me: “Yes, our turkey is lean, cooked and sliced right here.”
Customer: “Oh, that sounds good. Also are your tomatoes fat free?”
(At this point, the coworkers around me and this woman’s mother are stifling laughs.)
Me: “Yes… they are definitely fat free.”
Customer: *to her mother* “See, ma, I am doing this diet thing right.”
Me: “Might I mention that we have a mustard sauce on our sandwich that is not fat free, and includes mayo. Would you like me to get you one without it?”
Customer: “No. How can you eat a sandwich without mayo?”
