Bagels

So I love eating bagels but I have slight agoraphobia about ordering them because I never know whether my "dozen" is 12 or a baker's dozen of 13. Whenever I say how many of each I want, if I get to 13 sometimes I get "no! you only get 12!" or if i count to 12, I get "and the last one!?!"

So I developed a foolproof system where I count up to like 10, and then I say "the rest of type ____" and let them count it out to 12 or 13. Today though, this (probably minimum wage) Latino man who had to hang up his phone to count out the bagels to sell to me, he didn't quite count so well. Somehow I ended up with 16 bagels - so much for "foolproof." And so much for Passover. :P
