I love pumpkin muffins. I specifically love Einsteins brothers pumpkin muffins that are really more like a pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Every year they come out at the end of August and then by the middle of November they slowly run out and do not reorder so they are typically gone before Thanksgiving. I know this. I'm not proud of it but I do.
So, this afternoon when I hadn't eaten all day and I had picked the kids up from school I thought, hey! I can go to Einsteins and maybe there will be a pumpkin muffin left.
I entered the store. In the case were 3 beautiful, even if they were lightly frosted pumpkin muffins. I placed my order and then said "and a pumpkin muffin." The BRUNETTE working the register said we don't have pumpkin muffins anymore we are all out. I said What? She said We have sold out of them for the season and we will not be replacing them? I said so the three that are in the case they aren't for sale? She looked at the case. (Here is where she could have saved herself but alas no.) She could see the pumpkin muffins, obviously for sale, she said in a rude almost contemptuous voice We are out of pumpkin muffins.
Luckily, I didn't have to get my ugly out. The manager who is a friend of mine (this may or may not have something to do with my love of pumpkin muffins) came over and said to the girl Yes, we do we have three. She said but you said that we weren't going to order anymore pumpkin products. He said well, no we aren't but we would like to sell the ones we have.
Wow.
(The pumpkin muffin pictured above is not the one from today. The one pictured above has the perfect amount of frosting and the person who was responsible for this little bit of fabulousness should be given some sort of medal.)
