The Time I Saw A Lady Forget About Bread.


Just witnessed incredible.
 
I'm standing in line at the café. A lady is in front of me ordering. She's ordering a sandwich in a very particular way.
 
"does it come with tomatoes? I want the tomatoes."
"Does it come with bacon? I don't want the bacon."
"Does it come with onions? I want the onions."
 
She finishes up her wants and don't wants and then the girl behind the counter says, "What type of bread would you like ma'am?"
 
This question hits The Lady hard.
 
She responds, "I cant eat bread," But she says it like everyone knows this and the clerk is being insensitive for even asking.
 
The girl says, well we have this and this and this kind.
 
"Do you have any without wheat?" - The Lady.
 
"I'm sorry we don't."
 
Now The Lady is looking down at her feet and mumbling to herself. She's saying..
 
 "I forgot all about bread... why didn't I just order a salad? I
can't eat bread. I forgot all about the bread."
 
The girl behind the counter and I are exchanging glances and giggling because The Lady just ordered a sandwich forgetting that bread is not only involved in a sandwich but basically the KEY component of what makes a  sandwich a sandwich.
 
After taking time to think it through,The Lady, defeated, says "can you make my sandwich into a salad?".

So today, May 9th, 2015 I witnessed an lady forget about the existence of bread.
