What A Herk

Me: “May I have a baguette with sliced cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion, please?

Shop Worker: “No onion.”

Me: “Oh, dear. Do you suppose I may have some jalapeños instead?”

(I pronounced it correctly, the Spanish / Mexican way.)

Shop Worker: “We don’t got no… ‘halla-penyoes’. We have got ‘jalla-peenoes.’ But we don’t got no…” *injecting all the scorn she could possibly muster* “HALLA-PENYOES.”

Me: “Okay, no worries. If you don’t have jalapeños I’ll go next door. Have a good day.”
