Real life cheese shop sketch

[randysmith]

(The shop has "bagels" in the name. I'm not going to name them, because I like them. Phone conversation, reconstructed from memory.)

Me: "I'd like a turkey and cheese, on an onion bagel."
Them: "I'm sorry, we don't have any onion bagels."
Me: "What'd'ya got? Garlic?"
Them: "No. French toast?"
Me: "How about plain?"
Them: "No plain. I've got bread."
Me: "You don't have any bagels?"
Them: "Nope; I've been cleaned out."
Me: "Ok. Thanks anyway."
Them: "No problems."

Turkey and cheese on French toast?
Since I'm vegetarian, it isn't appealing, but I can't imagine it's appealing to anyone.

Yep. The whole conversation was a bit surreal, but that was definitely one of the things that contributed :-}.

I don't know, I think that sounds kind of good. (Except for the part where I'm grossed out by turkey right now.)

But I thought he meant, "French toast bagel?" And that, I am not okay with.

isn't that sort of what a monte cristo sandwich is made of: a batter dipped panfried ham and cheese? I used to love those.
