Ordering a Bagel in New Jersey..


Why can't people just order a bagel? It now takes almost as long to order a bagel as it does to order, well, a coffee. Is it warm? Wait that ones got too much poppy seeds not enough garlic show me another. No, for real. Theres the on the side guy - "I want 3 everything bagels and 1/4 pound of butter". I'm not sure what the butter on the side is saving you, but its not worth the curses you're picking up from the Greek lady on line thats outside in the cold. There's the racist bagel-er - "I'll have a light everything, toasted, with walnut cream cheese". First, when did it become OK to be a bagel racist? I mean, everyone wants the dark one, no one wants the light? I guess that means schmucks like me that order and duck to the side get the mediums no one else wants? And the cream cheese. God invented cream cheese. Seeing what we can stick in it to make it taste better - not natural!


Its cream cheese cloning IMHO. It must stop now. Do a Google search. Mountain Berry Cream Cheese. Cubumber and Red Onion. Pumpkin (i kid you not). Just because its soft doesn't mean you should stick crap in it! Then of course there's the I'm taking it ot my office guy - "give me 18 and make them 1 Poppy, 1 Egg, 1 Plain, 1 Onion. He's got to pay separately for the gross of bagels and his of course, for expenses (did I mention the Greek lady is still out on the sidewalk in the cold). There's the serial orderer. They order a five option bagel "Dark, light butter, thin swiss, cut in half and half again.." and when the ladies done has a whole 'nother 45 minute bagel to make from scratch "now I want the same thing with TWO slices of swiss".
