The Best things in Life are Free (even dessert)

So the other night I went through the drive-thru at Kneaders bakery. Not only do they make fantastic sandwiches, but their desserts are great too. I mean, anything that tastes that good is probably a sin. Which is why I don't go there often, it's an illusion. I get a sandwhich instead of a hamburger and feel I'm being healthy, only to be blown away by the 1400 calorie brownie. Ok, so I have no idea how many calories are in their desserts, but it has to be a ton. Couple that with a side of potato chips and you have one ellusive healthy meal.

That being said I still love kneaders. After what happened last week I love it even more. As I said, I went through the drive-thru and had the following conversation with the girl working there. Oh, Parker was with me too to vouch for it's validity.

"Welcome to Kneaders, what can I get for you tonight"

'I'd like a...a...where's it at? Oh there it is, a club. and instead of the bread it comes on can I get it on Focaccia bread (see left...it's fantastic)?'

"You sure can"

'Sweet, let's put that in a combo as well, the one with the drink and dessert'

"Ok, what would you like as your dessert?"

'oh boy, what's good, and you can't say everything...'

"I'd go with a brownie or a cookie"

'do you guys still have your german chocolate brownies?'

"We do, those are my favorite"

'I'll take one of those then'

"good choice, and what would you like to drink?"

'I'm thinking Dr. Pepper'

"Sounds good, your total is ...."

so I finishi my order pull forward to the window and all that jazz

Pretty normal conversation right? Well when I get there the girl smiles and hands me my drink.

"you're our customer of the day so you get a free large drink and an extra brownie"

So I thank her and we go along our merry way all smiles. Then we realized what I had just done. I flirted my way into a free brownie. At least that what we'll tell ourselves. I didn't know I had it in me, yet there I was...holding two german chocolate brownies for the price of one.

Now there are endless possibilities of why the situation panned out as it did. Perhaps I was given the free brownie because they were closing up shop and had an extra. Maybe it was because it had fallen on the floor. Who knows, maybe they really did have a customer of the day counter and I happened to be the lucky chap. Maybe she saw Parker in the car and thought he was cute and wanted to give him a brownie too. Perhaps I ordered the ultimate combination by changing my bread in combination with the german chocolate brownie. In the end I suppose the best answer is who cares. Either way I got an extra brownie (yes, I gave it to Parker) and we were both laughing from the whole situation.

Anywho, I'm going to keep telling myself that I flirted my way into a free dessert. Why not right? Next time you're at kneaders give it a whirl. BTW, the club on focaccia bread is fantastic.

Update: So I recently went to Kneaders and saw a sign that almost made me cry. "Buy a pastry get one free after 8 pm". Dang it all...perhaps I wasn't as flirty as I had hoped. Oh well.
