Again with the Peanut Butter & Butter...
Procuring my morning onion-toasted bagel with peanut butter AND butter shouldn't be this difficult. Maybe it's me.
Winchell's Donuts across the street. Every fricken time. Today, the woman (they're all Mexican and there's a definite language barrier ) throws the bagel into the toaster and pulls out the peanut butter AND butter in their respective carry-out containers. Ah! They remember me. So far so good.
She exits and another women enters, pulling my bagel out of the toaster. The peanut butter AND butter containers that were on the counter are nowhere to be seen. This new girl proceeds to put cream cheese on my bagel.
"No, wait. I wanted peanut butter and butter."
(She gets another bagel.)
"No - just scrap it off. You don't have to toast a new bagel.
(She scraps the cream cheese off and puts the bagel into a bag, handing it to me.)
"And my peanut butter AND butter, please."
(She reaches under the counter and pulls out a to-go container of peanut butter, putting it in the bag.)
"And my butter."
"This is peanut butter."
"I know - but I also want butter...separately."
(She reaches under the counter again and pulls out a to-go container of butter, placing it in the bag.)
Success. Like I said - maybe it's me.
