Smallfat is trying to avoid carbs Got another work story. At the cafe I work at, we serve a breakfast bar on the weekends. (Before anyone asks, the way it works is that customers will tell whoever is working at the counter what size plate they want and which items from the bar that they would like, so there is some element of portion control on our parts.) This lady walks in- not hideously obese, but she could go for a few crunchy green vegetables- and makes a big huge deal about how hungry she is while she's going over the menu. She decides to get the breakfast bar and starts off pretty well: medium bowl, tofu scramble and baked sweet potatoes, and she tells me she probably won't get the baked white potatoes because she's trying to avoid a lot of carbs. Understandable. But then IMMEDIATELY after she says that she says she'll have a biscuit with gravy, and a little French toast bread pudding, and when my coworker brings the pancakes out she gets one of those, chocolate chip. And then a few baked white potatoes. THEN she orders a spinach artichoke pizza to go, because "now I have lunch taken care of too!" All I can do is put on my customer service smile and ring her up.
