Choose

 “I’d like a brie and pear sandwich please”

“Certainly, sir, would you like that on white or granary bread?”

“You choose/surprise me/I don’t mind”

In more than eleven years taking sandwich orders at the counter I have never known this. This season it’s happening at least once a week.

So 

A. Has the pandemic led to us being more indecisive?

B. Has the pandemic led us to not care about the smaller details?

C. Are people who really want white bread ashamed to order it but can’t bring themselves to ask for granary?

The choice is yours.
