No. It isn’t what you think.
I was at Costco the other day. I finished up shopping a little before the store was shutting down. I hadn’t eaten anything for dinner, so I decided to stop by the food court.
When I approached the counter, the attendant asked for my order, and I said
“One hotdog, please.”
“I’m sorry, but we’re out. Would you like a polish hotdog instead?”
“No. The nitrites in those give me migraines.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
Why did I tell him that? All he needed to know was “No, thank you.” But instead I defended my decision to a guy who doesn’t care one bit, can’t really know beforehand that I get migraines, and just wants to get my food demands taken care of so he can go home that much sooner.
And, of course, this reminds me of the time I was offered some cheese by an attendant.
Denied!…Due to lactose intolerance…
Maybe next time I can learn to keep my reasons to myself.
