May 20, 2008 23:41



Catta: I'd like a veggie sandwich on a wheat roll toasted.

Cafeteria Drone turns to the bread box and grabs a ciabatta roll.

Catta: Actually, a wheat roll toasted please.

Cafeteria Drone: We only toast the ciabatta.

Catta: If you can toast that you can toast the wheat roll.

Cafeteria Drone: I can't toast that.

Catta: I've gotten the the wheat roll toasted before.

Cafeteria Drone: How? We only toast the ciabatta.

Catta sighs and makes eye contact with the drone: You toast the wheat roll the same way you toast the ciabatta. You put it in the panini press.

Cafeteria Drone hesitates and then starts to turn towards the panini press with the wheat roll in her hand.

Cafeteria Bitch, who has been standing around doing nothing interviens: We can only toast ciabatta roll.

Cafeteria Drone turns back towards Catta, untoasted wheat roll in her hand. Catta compresses lips and stares at her: I can ask.

Cafeteria Bitch erupts into angry Armenian as Cafeteria Drone heads off towards the back.

Catta stands there staring at Cafeteria Bitch who is angrily whispering to the other stand-arounders.

Cafeteria Drone returns and picks up wheat roll and puts it on the panini press: We can toast this for you this time.

Cafeteria Drone returns with toasted wheat roll: You want cheese?

Catta: No thank you, just veggies please.

Cafeteria Drone: Oh Ok. You want turkey?

Catta: No thank you. Just veggies. No meat, no cheese. Just veggies.

Cafeteria Done: Oh Ok. You want roast beef?

Catta: No thank you. Just veggies please.

Cafeteria Drone: You want lettuce.

Catta: Yes. ALL the veggies please.

Cafeteria Drone: You want tomato and onion.

Catta: YES! All the veggies Please!

***

Cafeteria Drone: You want oil and vinegar?

Catta: Yes and salt and pepper.

Cafeteria Drone: Salt and pepper?

Catta: Yes.

Cafeteria Drone wraps up sandwich and goes to the register to punch it up, hesitating she looks over at Cafeteria Bitch and wonders softly if she should ring it up cheaper since there is no meat or cheese in the sandwich.

Cafeteria Bitch glaring angrily at Catta: No, same price this isn't In-and-Out.

Cafeteria Drone: Oh ok.

Catta escapes with her hard-won veggie sandwich on a toasted wheat roll.
