Not So Closed Minded, Part 31

I am prepping pastry and bread in our bakery at 6:00 am. I come in every morning at 5:45 am to do this, and obviously, I turn on the lights so I can see what I am doing.

I see a customer at the door but ignore them because I am still prepping, the bakery is obviously closed, and I have a lot to prep. They’ll figure it out.

They do not figure it out.

Instead, I come back to the front to see them wrenching the door open with a stick and wandering in like it’s nothing!

Customer: “Can I have a coffee and a croissant?”

Their gall immediately makes sense when I hear their American accent.

Me: “We don’t open until 7:00 am.”

Customer: “Well, since I’m in the store already?”

I’ve never been so pleased by the fact that the pastries were still in the oven and the coffee maker was on its cleaning program.
