Unfiltered Story #57222
I’m looking for egg-based hot dog buns for a barbecue. I find a package labeled “egg rolls” that are hamburger-sized, as well as regular hot dog buns.
Me: I’m looking for these *pointing to egg rolls* in the shape of these *pointing to hot dog buns*. Do you have them?
Bakery worker: I’m not sure. I’ll have to ask. *calls over to bakery manager* Do we have egg hot dog buns?
Bakery manager: They’re the same thing.
Bakery worker: *to me* These are the same thing.
Me: But there’s no egg on the hot dog bun ingredients list.
Bakery worker: *looks puzzled*
I make eye contact with the bakery manager and walk over.
Me: So you’re the person to ask? I’m looking for this same dough *pointing to egg rolls* in the shape of these *pointing to hot dog buns*.
Bakery manager: They’re the same thing.
Me: But they’re not. There’s no egg on the ingredients list for the hot dog buns.
Bakery manager: *stares at me hard* They’re the same thing.
Me: But there’s no egg in these.
Bakery manager: Well, we don’t make them here, we just bake them.
Me: Ok, so you don’t have them. Thanks.
