Talking Turkey About Bacon
(I’m in line at Well Known Sandwich Shop, and I ask for a six-inch sub with turkey and bacon. The teenager behind the counter nods and repeats my order.)
Attendant: “Okay, so ham and bacon.”
Me: “No, TURKEY and bacon, thanks.”
Attendant: “Right, ham and bacon.”
Me: “Um, no? TURKEY” *I point to the turkey*
Attendant: “Yeah, okay the white ham.”
(I’m gob-smacked, and then I moved down to pay, and I advise the cashier of what I ordered, she looks confused, until the teen yells down the line.)
Attendant: “She had the ham and bacon!”
