Bread line

 

Guy driving a new luxury car:  Cuts in front of me in line
Me:  The line starts in the back.

Guy driving a new luxury car:  Do you mind if I just ask one question?
Me:  Go ahead.
Guy driving a new luxury car:  Did the prices just go up on the bread?
Worker:  Yes.  We posted the new prices here yesterday.
Guy driving a new luxury car:  So the price doubled?
Worker:  The new price is $1.75.
Guy driving a new luxury car:  So the price more than doubled?
Worker:  Yes the prices went up yesterday.
Guy driving a new luxury car:  You gave me a ripped up receipt and my wife is pissed the bill was so high.  She sent me to find out why we were charged so much.
Crowd:  Glares at luxury car guy.
Guy driving a new luxury car:  Leaves in a huff yelling the prices are outrageous here!
It was worth waiting an extra few minutes in line to watch luxury car guy lose it over a $1 price increase.  I noticed his wife in the illegally parked luxury car.

I picked 2 conchas.
The white one was fresh and fluffy with a delicious mild sweet flavor.
The yellow cocha tasted day old as it was a bit hard and missing the fresh baked flavor.  Note to self avoid the concha if there are only 2 left on the rack.  Sadly I showed up too early for Pan de Muerto.  Worker said they would have some after 2pm.  They bake great tasting treats here.  Quality control isn’t the greatest.  They need a day old bread area.  In the summer I’ve seen flies land on stuff.

  1. Bummer no pan de muerto during your visit. The concha’s look pretty in the display case. Nice pictures!

  2. I got my pan de muerto over the weekend (City Heights and not this location). There was no line and no crazy guy with a Lexus (or equivalent) when I happened to stop by.

    1. Lucky. Next year I’ll make sure I visit the City Heights location.
