OK. You ever had something really strange happen that you just can’t explain?
So, the other day, I was at the food court, and I decided to grab something to eat.
I went to one of those build your own salad restaurant spots, where someone behind the counter puts it together for you, exactly how you want it. And you watch them make it, right there.
I just wanted to see if it was fresh. I asked the girl to show me the spinach bed. She held it up, and it looked great. Fresh, dark green, a good amount of it too. So I said, “Yeah, I’ll take the spinach base.” (Because Note: I had spring mix at home in the fridge. Which is why I wanted spinach so if I chose to, I could’ve just added it to my spring mix)
Then she asked which toppings I wanted. You get four.
So I picked: Chicken for the protein, watched her put it on top of the spinach, cucumbers, chickpeas, and last, bleu cheese.
I know, weird combo, but I was craving it!
She asked me what kind of dressing I wanted, and grabbed the 2 containers, and after that, I walked down to the end of the counter to pay.
The person who made the salad brought it, along with the dressing, to the cashier.
The cashier looked at the salad and said, “Build your own on spinach?”
I said, “Yes.”
She bagged it up, I paid in cash, took the receipt, and headed home.
So I get home, open the bag, take out the salad…
And now, my salad is on a bed of spring mix.
Not spinach. Spring. Mix.
And now I’m bewildered!!
I know what spinach looks like. I watched her make it. It was all spinach—no red or purple leaves, no different shapes or colors. It was just solid green spinach that she loaded my toppings on to. That’s what I picked!
So now I’m confused. Trying to make some sense of it, I think, “Maybe they gave me the wrong salad?” But no. The person in front of me ordered a smoothie, and the couple behind me, was jus tstarting to place their salad order. I watched my salad being made. And my toppings were unique, so it was my salad…And I paid for it and saw the receipt.
I go back and check the receipt.
And this part is even crazier.
Because where it used to read “SPINACH,” it now had the word “SPRING.”
But the word SPRING, is faded.
It was the only word on the receipt that was faded.
The only one.
What is going on?
I tried to explain it away. Maybe I did get spring mix instead of spinach, But no, I saw her make it from start to finish. I know it was spinach.
How did my salad transform?
And how did the receipt change only there?
But anyway, I ate it, and it was delicious.
But this? … salad magic. Salad glitch. Salad something. Is unexplainable
Any thoughts, anybody?
