Not quite your local chippie

I just went into Panera Bread for my usual soup, baguette and packet of crisps (also known as chips to my American compadres).

As usual the lady behind the counter put me down as having baked crisps when I had ordered the fat ones (I think I confuse them by asking for "a bag o' chips"). When I mentioned I hadn't ordered baked ones they of course handed me a packet of fat crisps. But then the woman said I had to take the baked ones too.

When I asked why, I was told that because she had already touched the packet of baked crisps (with her gloves on) she couldn't take them back.

Wonder what the local kebab van would make of that.
