On the go all day today. Getting ready for our trip to California on Friday. Hair cut, manicure/pedicure (mostly because I will have to take my shoes off at security in the airport and I don't wear socks-ever) and teeth cleaning at the dentist.
No time for breakfast. Between appointments and errands, I stop for something to eat at Dunkin' Donuts. I am so hungry, I want to order two orders of hash browns, a bagel with cream cheese and some chocolate munchkins for dessert. Instead, I order green tea--black--with lemon and I debate which protein option is the leanest. I decide on one of the egg wraps. The staff in this Dunkin' Donuts is all-Vietnamese. A family, I think.
Here goes:
Man: What else I get you?
Me: Ah, I'll have an egg and cheese breakfast wrap.
Man: Egg and cheese wrap?
Me: No...I changed my mind. I'll have an egg white veggie flatbread sandwich.
Man: No egg and cheese wrap?
Me: NO. AN EGG WHITE VEGGIE FLATBREAD SANDWICH.....NO BREAD.
Man: No bread?
Me: No bread. Oh, and no cheese, either.
Man: No bread no cheese?
Me: Yes, that's right.
Man: You change mind. Bread and cheese now?
Me: NO. I NO CHANGE MIND. JUST VEGGIE EGG WHITE. NO BREAD. NO CHEESE.
Man; (hollering to the "cook" at the microwave) (in Vietnamese). #$$#%^veggieeggwhitenobreadnocheese.
Cook: $%$#*&^&*%veggieeggwhitenobreadnocheeseHAHAHA!
Man:HAHAHAveggieeggwhitenobreadnocheeseHAHAHA
I get my order and look at it. Wrapped in paper is a saucer-shaped white thing with speckles of green and red --presumably the peppers. It looks like something the Jetsons would eat. I sit and eat it --with my hands. I feel eyes on me. I look up and the man and the cook are snickering behind the counter.
I suppose it is a pretty ridiculous sight.
