Self-Rising Expectations
Customer #1: “You bake all of this French bread here?”
Me: “Yes, sir, every day.”
Customer #1: “Do you make the dough yourselves, or does it come in frozen?”
Me: “Oh, it comes in frozen. We bake more than 100 loaves of French bread a day on top of everything else we make, so we really wouldn’t have time to make dough from scratch.”
Customer #1: “So, you’re cheaters, then?!”
Me: *thinking he’s joking* “Yes, sir, we certainly are!”
Customer #1: “Well, that’s shameful!” *to another customer* “Did you know they don’t make the dough themselves?!”
Customer #2: “It only costs a buck a loaf, dude. What do you want from them?”
