A Big Mayo No No, Part 4
Pizza | Right | July 26, 2017
(I work in a pizzeria which has a separate area for takeout and buying pizza by the slice. It’s the mid-afternoon on a Friday and I haven’t had a customer in to buy slices for over an hour. A man and his girlfriend approach my counter, checking over our Buffalo chicken pizza.)
Me: *wiping the table* “Can I help you with anything?”
Girlfriend: “Yeah… um… so, your Buffalo chicken… What’s on it?”
Me: “Chicken, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, blue cheese, and regular cheese.”
(I’ve eaten most things on the menu. I also build pizzas in the back when the pizza toppers are short-staffed. As such, I know what’s on most of the pizzas.)
Girlfriend: “Like… it doesn’t have mayonnaise on it, does it?”
Me: “I’m 100% sure it doesn’t.”
Girlfriend: “Good, ‘cause that sounds gross, and, like, I hate mayonnaise!” *she rants about her dislike of mayonnaise*
Me: “Well… luckily… none of our pizzas have mayonnaise on them. Are you interested in the Buffalo chicken slices?”
Girlfriend: “Nah, I don’t eat cheese. I just wanted to ask about the mayonnaise.”
(They turn around and head out the door.)
Me: “Have a nice day…”
(My coworker was restocking our fridge with pop and juice, and heard the entire thing.)
Coworker: “Did that just happen?”
Me: “Yup… and it’s only the afternoon… I’m here over dinner.”
Coworker: “It’s going to be a long day.”
