I was grocery shopping today. I had just hit the bakery (Mmmmmmmmm....) and was looking at the tarts when a woman walks up to the counter with 2 packs of the storemade apricot pastries.
Woman: Excuse me!!! These are too dark.
Bakery Employee: (genuinely) Oh, im sorry. I assure you theyre not burnt, theyre just a little darker than usual.
W: Well this is ridiculous! These are too DARK!
BE: I realize that, but theyre still good. If you buy them and dont like them, we have a 200% guarantee. Youd get double your money back.
W: You dont understand! I NEED THESE for a training class! I buy these several times a week.
BE: Im sorry, but thats our batch for today. Tomorrow morning we will have more, freshly made, if you have time to stop in.
W:BUT I NEED THESE AND THEYRE TOO DARK!! Youre telling me youre NOT going to go and make some more?
BE: NO. Thats it for today. But if you would want to special order some, I can personally assure you they would be ready in the morning and not as dark.
W: BUT THESE ARE TOO DARK!! I NEED THESE FOR A TRAINING CLASS. I ALWAYS BUY THEM HERE!!!
I swear this went on for as long as it took me to look through the pies and have my daughter pick out a donut and longer. That damn lady would NOT shut up. The poor employee was stuck with her when I finally made my getaway. Ugh. Her voice still lingers in my head......
Not sure who she was training but I doubt the whole class would fall to pieces without the damn pastries....
