Awkward moments

Today Dave and I decided to try the Pita Pit for lunch. I was interested even though my friend Jason speaks so passionately about how he hates it. When we went in it was practically empty so the employee's were extra eager to serve us, making it slightly awkward. I ordered a breakfast pita even though it was 12. It came with eggs, bacon, hash browns, green peppers, onions and cheese (at least that is what the menu claimed). Apparently the lady asked if I wanted mushrooms but I did not understand what she was asking so just said yes. When they put the food into the pita I saw a mushroom and made a funny face...this is when it got awkward. She saw my funny face and the conversation went as such:

Lady: "oh don't worry I did not forget the bacon"
Me: "I know I just saw the mushroom...does it have mushrooms? The menu said it did not."
Lady: "That is why I asked you. I can make it again"
Me: "Oh no it is fine I will just pick them out"
Lady: "no it is fine! (other employee joins in) it will not take any time! (obviously since we are your only clients)
Me: "No really please don't I do not want to wait."
Both ladies: (Throws pita away) "We will just make it again"
Me: "aaah uuuuh aaaah ok (by this point I feel as if I am in an SNL skit and am so awkward)
Second Lady: (Over eagerly) "We don't mind...customer satisfaction is most important"
Me: "uuuuuuum Thanks?"

The best part was Dave watching the train wreck from our table just laughing. And then being the only two people eating while the ladies just waited for more customers. Oh man lesson learned never eat at the Pita Pit!

And then the kicker later in the day was going to Palermo coffee shop in Ventura. I accidentally took someone Else's Chai because I thought they said Non-fat Chai (Dave heard it too). When the other lady came to get hers about 5 minutes later I was already drinking it. I smiled apologetically and said I was sorry. She looked at me as if I was the devils spawn, especially when my drink popped up. Then Dave's drink took another 5 minutes (the whole time the lady just talked about how I took her drink). Once Dave's drink came up I took his arm and ran out of the store.

Reminds me of the time at the book party release, and I stared at the lady at the table. Except I was the one who made everyone feel awkward.
Doesn't Palermo's have delicious chi?
