Waste Not, Want Not, Part 2
(It’s about two hours before closing and I’m cleaning up our breakfast area, which includes two rotating ovens that often have burnt bagels sitting in the back of them. A customer comes over after I’ve thrown the remaining ones in the trash. Keep in mind that it’s late at night.)
Customer: “What are you doing?”
Me: “I’m cleaning up the bagels for the night. I can’t believe the number of bagels people leave here sometimes.”
(The customer points at one of the more badly burnt bagels in the trash.)
Customer: “That’s mine.”
Me: *jokingly* “I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t suppose you still want it, do you?”
Customer: “Yes, I do.” *takes it out of the trash and walks off*
