MLB Animalverse: Bakery’s Typical Chaos
Customer Not Always Right
Marinette: Janice? Is everything okay? You look really tired.
Janice: Ah, young lady. There was a customer earlier and they asked if the sourdough bread has any dairy.
Marinette: …But that was sourdough bread. They don’t even use dairy.
Janice: I know. I tried to explain that to them but they ain’t listening to me.
Marinette: And? What happened next?
Janice: Of course, I ended up telling them no and they then asked if that bread has any nuts as well.
Marinette: …which bread was she talking about?
Janice: The traditional bread.
Janice: I know, I told them that it doesn’t contain any nuts either. But that was not the end of it. They then asked if that bread has any eggs inside.
Janice: Right? And once again, I told her no. She seems to be satisfied with that answer. And then, she asked if the macarons have any dairy.
Marinette: *in a deadpan tone* until she was talking about the fillings, most macarons are made from egg white, ground almonds, and powdered sugar.
Janice: Apparently this customer didn’t know that. She kept repeating these questions with each pastries and breads until she finally buy something from the bakery.
Marinette: What did she bought?
Janice: She ordered a single butter croissant.
Janice: Some animals can be so strange.
Joey: Welcome to Tom & Sabine’s Bakery! What can I do for you?
Customer 1: Do you have any croissants?
Joey: We do serve croissants here. Do you want to order one or several?
Customer 1: Do you have ones with raisins?
Joey: You mean, Pain aux raisins? Yes, we do have those.
Customer 1: Then I would like order five.
Joey: Right away, sir. *he leans over to the pastry display counter*
Customer 1: Oh, please don’t call me sir. I don’t use those pronouns.
Joey: I see, my apologies.
Customer 2: Oh you got to kidding me.
Customer 1: If you still want to be polite, you can just call me Doc since I’m a doctor.
Customer 2: Just get on with it already. I want my croissants.
Joey: Have patience, madam.
*Joey finished putting the last Pain aux raisin in a goodie bag*
Joey: *he then leans back up and hands the goodie bag to Customer 1* Here’s your bag. That would be €47.50.
Customer 1: *pull out their wallet* Hold on, let me…
Customer 2: Hurry uppppp!
Joey: Madam. Please be patient.
Customer 2: Not my fault that this man is slow like a turtle he is!
Joey: …One, this doctor clearly uses they/them. *Joey glances at the doctor who nods their head* Two, this doctor is a tortoise, not a turtle.
Customer 1: It’s true. Anyhow, here you go.
*Customer 1 hands Joey few euro bills*
Customer 1: Keep the charges. *they then sidestepped to the right and turn to leave*
Joey: Welcome to Tom & Sabine’s Bakery! What can I do for you?
Customer 2: Hold on, give me a minute to see what you’re having.
Rude Customer: Excuse me, Jaguar. I have a question.
Mojo: I am willing to answer your question but, why did you call me a jaguar?
Rude Customer: …Because you’re a jaguar?
Mojo: …I’m a leopard. We’re not even that similar.
Rude Customer: You’re sure about that?
Rude Customer: Aren’t you from the same place?
Mojo: …Where do you think I come from?
Rude Customer: America, duh!
Mojo: …I went through the culinary school for this.
Barry: I’m telling you before and I’m telling you again; we do not serve alcoholic pastries 24/7. These are only for holidays and holidays only.
Karen customer: How dare you! Where’s your manager?!
*A small cheetah poked her head out from the kitchen*
Judy: Someone ask for me, da?
Karen customer: Wha- I asked for the manager!
Barry: This is the manager.
Judy: Is there problem, madam?
Karen Customer: We-well, I’m asking your employee here if the bakery is selling the alcoholic pastries I had heard about. He told me no.
Judy: Da, we have them. But these are only for holiday.
*The Karen customer shrieked loudly, causing Jusy flinching from the loud noises*
Barry: Hey, don’t shout like that. You’re upsetting Judy here.
Karen Customer: This is unacceptable! I WANT TO SPEAK THE OWNER OF THIS DAMNED BAKERY!
*Judy immediately covered her ears from the loud noise*
*Sudden, Tom immediately show up from the kitchen, brandishing a long roller*
Tom: What’s going on here?! I heard shouting from the kitchen!
*Karen Customer’s eyes widened at the sight of a giant Spotted Lady Beetle*
Karen Customer: O-oh, nevermind!
*she then runs out of the bakery*
Tom: What was that about? Judy, are you okay? *Tom lowered the roller*
Judy: *whimpers like a wounded animal but she nods at Tom*
Barry: Yes, everything is okay. The customer was just being rude to me and Judy.
Tom: Oh, okay… Glad to know everyone is doing alright! Judy, if everything is too much for you, you can always stay in the break room to destress yourself.
Judy: *nods her gratitude at the gentle giant spotted beetle*
