The Bagel Slicer.

Most of the time when we buy bagels, they are already sliced. But, the other day, I bought some bagels from the fresh bakery section.

When I got them home, I got out our bagel slicer and attempted to slice my bagel. But, to my dismay, my bagel slicer was broken.

Now, our old slicer was made from Plexiglas and only held the bagel while you sliced it with a knife. But, the new ones that I have seen come with a slicing mechanism.

So, the other day when I was in Meijers (regional grocery chain), I went into the kitchen gadget section to purchase a bagel slicer. I wandered up and down the housewares section for a few minutes but couldn’t locate one. Finally, I spotted a clerk and asked him.

Now, the clerk knew just exactly what I wanted and immediately charged down the isle. Thinking that he knew where they were located, I followed behind. But, after a few trips up and down, he couldn’t find them either. So, he called someone.

Moments later, another clerk arrived. He was the assistant kitchen gadget manager. And he too charged up and down the isles looking for a bagel slicer. Soon, two more clerks arrived and assisted in the search. Eventually, they concluded that they were either out of bagel slicers or they don’t carry them.

I can’t imagine that bagel slicers would be a high demand item at the Meijers in Lowell, so I suspect that they just don’t carry them.

  1. The following time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, however I actually thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could possibly repair should you werent too busy looking for attention.
