Why Bruegger's... WHY?

Each morning before going to work, I stop at my neighborhood Bruegger's to get a cup of coffee. For Christmas last year, my wife and I bought each other the "ever-filling cup" deal, which allows us unlimited refills of a beverage from Bruegger's, so I try to save money (though still sneak to Dunkin' Donuts when I can scrounge up change) and do my due diligence and get a "free" cup o' joe.

Recently, I have been occasionally purchasing my favorite bagel, the sun-dried tomato bagel, to nosh on my drive. This morning, as I perused the resh bagels, I noted the absence of sun-dried tomato bagels to the manger, who just happened to be working the counter preparing an order.

"They've been discontinued," he respond to my initial query.

"What?" I answered back, "Am I the only one who ever bought them."

"I don't know, man," he said, "it was a decision at the corporate level."

I begrudgingly bought a plain bagel, which consequently tasted like cardboard in comparison to the Sun-Dried tomato variety.

DARN CORPORATE AMERICA TAKING AWAY MY FAVE BAGEL!

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
