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.

Awesome!

There was a store in an underground shopping concourse at a Philadelphia train station that changed hands. The incoming store plastered its walls (which were almost entirely glass) with huge posters listing the many kinds of cheeses they would have (not actual names, just "Danish cheeses!" " Goat-milk cheeses!" etc) weeks before they opened, so you could peek past the posters into the store and see row after row of completely empty shelves...
