To the Einstein Bagels employee who didn’t want to slice my bagels at 4:55 p.m. because the slicer was “put up for the day”:
If it’s not too late to take my money for 13 bagels, it’s too early to put away the slicing machine.
Also, how complex a machine is this bagel slicer that it would take “a while” to set back up? Does it run on nuclear power? Is there a hand-crank involved? Does the manager have to be alerted to activate the launch sequence codes?
They’re bagels. They need to be sliced. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking so.
