Sandwiched Between Lying And Getting Caught

I’m doing my pre-close cleaning. My boss has let me make a sandwich. I put it on top of the oven wrapped in aluminum foil to keep warm while I work. My boss is making a salad for a walk-in customer.

I come back to that area of the store to see that my sandwich is missing. I look at the customer who is standing nearby.

Me: “Did you take my sandwich?”

Customer: “No.”

I walk over to him and poke the suspicious bulge in his jacket.

Me: “Is that my sandwich?”

He unzips his jacket and pulls out my sandwich.

Customer: “I thought it was part of my salad.”

Me: *Disbelieving* “You thought a sandwich was part of your salad?”

Customer: “Yeah.”

When has a sandwich ever been part of a salad? Jerk.
