Receipt Voyeur (original) (raw)
Today for lunch, some coworkers and I went to Panera. Now, the first time I ever went to Panera, they took my name, and I waited patiently for my name to called for my lunch. I anxiously awaited my turkey-on-white (with all the normal stuff that comes with it), and when I heard "Nick, your meal is ready!" I approached the counter, asked for Nick, and took my meal back to my table. Remarking on how quick the service was, I opened my sandwich to see something different than what I was expecting.
The bread had cheese and tomatoes inside it, and there was melty all over everywhere. Embarrassed that what I'd ordered looked different from my expectations, I didn't take it back, but instead decided to take a bite. It wasn't until I heard again, "Nick, your meal is ready!" that I knew something was amiss.
So, today when I went to Panera, as I do every time I now go to Panera, I made up a unique name. And with you fine folks of the Internet, I share it.
