Last weekend, my niece and I met my friend Jill, and her daughter at Panera Bread. I got a sandwich on some fancy bread, like some asiago cheese and herb ciabatta bread or something similar. The girl at the register asked me what i wanted for my side:
“What are my choices”, I asked.
“An apple, chips, a wheat roll or a white roll”, she replied, chipperly.
I just looked at her. “Bread is my side for bread?”
She looked a little taken aback, like *I* was the crazy one. “Well, yes ma’am.”
I said, “I can understand a roll with my salad or my soup, but with a SANDWICH? Those are my only choices?”
I was floored. Who in the hell wants more bread with a very bready sandwich? “I don’t want anything. I don’t really want bread with my bread.”
I mean, I could have gotten apple or chips, but I have braces, so an apple is really out of the question. Chips aren’t really the healthy choice right?
I think she was a little ticked off at me because I found bread as my side to be a little insane. NOTE TO SELF: get soup and a salad next time.
Wow, that’s lame. Fully HALF of your side-item options were bread. A strange world…
