Server: "No."
Me: "You know, those bread and butter
pickles."
Server: "Ah, no."
Me: "Do you have any pickles?"
Server: "No, sorry, we don't have any."
Me: "Do you have anything pickled?"
Server: "Well, we have [my brain tuned this part out
because I didn't hear the word pickle]."
Me: "OK. Do you have any Heinz products?"
Server: "We have ketchup."

I was at Hoi Polloi today and can confirm that they now have pickles. I hate pickles, by the way, so I was completely on the side of the barista.
I am flattered that you will never look at a pickle again without thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteIf I could, I'd totally marry a pickle. (I'm sure Freud would have something interesting to say about that. But since I'm a woman, I wouldn't let him get a word in edgewise. The same goes for his pickle.)
And I can honestly say, when it comes to pickles, size doesn't matter -- it's all how they're "packed."
Anyway -- excellent! I have even more reason to stop by again.
I told Daniel he was getting primo blog space as a result of his barista duties. He didn't seem impressed, but he was glad to know you were happy about the pickles.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should stop by Hoi Polloi.
