Working Retail Leads To Extreme Carb-Loading

(I’ve worked at my job long enough to be recognized by our regulars. I have a bagel in my mouth, a bagel in one hand, and my uniform and apron in my other hand on my way to the registers to buy the bagels before my shift starts.)

Customer: “Excuse me. Will you ring me up?”

Me: *gives a significant look to both my hands and then back to the customer, bagel still in my mouth*

Customer: *after a moment* “Oh!”
