I am 6 months pregnant and had the most ridiculous encounter in Paul this morning while buying my croissant and coffee.
I waddled in, excited for my Monday morning treat for coming into the office, and there was a new lady there. I ordered the almond croissant like I always do and she said "no" and something else that I couldn't make out. I thought she'd misheard me so I pointed to the croissant I wanted. She carried on. I couldn't make out what she was saying. Then her colleague stepped in to say "she says it is made with alcohol"
I had no idea this was the case but said ok that's fine.
Original lady continued to argue then someone called her into the back and I was served by her colleague who continued to give me funny looks.
Presumably the alcohol in a bloody croissant is negligible and isn't going to harm my baby, nor impede anyone. I've been having this exact croissant nearly every Monday for years, including all the way through my first pregnancy.
I feel quite cross now that my treat has been tainted by this exchange. There's a pret nearby but their almond croissants aren't as good.
