Should Have Twigged To Its True Purpose

(My manager just got off the phone with a rather angry customer. Apparently the customer received an order that she didn’t like and wanted us to remake it for free. The problem was that she’d ordered the pizzas over a month ago and she hadn’t filed a complaint until now. My manager argued with her but eventually gave up and offered to replace ONE of the pizzas because she’d taken so long to complain. I’m cooking and get the order which is a pizza consisting of nine different toppings, including black olives. When the pizza comes out of the oven, this happens:)

Coworker: “Ew, what is that? Is that… Is that a twig? [Manager]! There’s a twig in this pizza.”

(She shows the object to the manager who picked it out of the pizza and held it up, making a face. He turned and showed it to me.)

Manager: “Really, [My Name]?”

Me: “It’s not a twig; it’s an olive branch. I was extending an olive branch to the customer as a sign of peace and now you’ve ruined it! Peace between [Pizza Company] and the customers will never be achieved now and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT!”

(I remade the pizza… twig-free.)
