| - At least my 10th time to this location, and quite the unusually interesting experience. First, I stand in line, patiently awaiting my turn to order. Fortunately I have the free entertainment of watching the eggs being placed onto the cook plate. The gentleman doing so was very methodical, first cleaning the cook top, then buttering, then measuring the egg whites, and then cracking eggs open one-handed. Yes, one-handed. Talented, I've yet to personally master that. Then joy! It's my turn! I step up to the "plate" aka ordering computer. Who do I see? The same gentleman who was just showcasing his egg talents. I tell him that I have a 6 bagel and tub of shmear deal. He nicely asks me which bagels I'd like, and grabs each of them with his hands. You think, what's so strange or wrong with that? Well, he still had his egg gloves on- and I watched his thumbs break into the eggs... health code violation? Then I get down to the selection of my last two bagels. "I'll take the power protein please". The gentleman tells me that will be "a few cents extra". I politely ask, "how much is a few cents?" He responds, "about 50 cents". I then reply, "well I don't consider that a FEW cents, with two power proteins that's at least a dollar difference, that changes everything." Here comes another strange thing, I suddenly here an echo, "that changes everything". But the echo is not in my voice. Doubly strange I would say. Oh! That's right! Now my memory serves me- it was another gentleman working behind the counter who mocked me.
Thank you Einstein Bros, a pleasant Sunday morning to you too.
