‘No hazelnut pastry?’ groans the lady in the patisserie, while her Pomeranian fidgets in her designer bag

‘No hazelnut pastry?’ groans the lady in the patisserie, while her Pomeranian fidgets in her designer bag

A customer at an artisan bakery in Amsterdam reacted with dismay when the shop lacked her preferred hazelnut pastry. The situation became chaotic as her pet Pomeranian grew restless, eventually causing the woman to leave with a different dessert and a distressed dog.

A customer at a small artisan patisserie on the Vijzelgracht in Amsterdam experienced significant distress when her requested hazelnut pastry was unavailable. Carrying a Pomeranian in a designer handbag, the woman struggled to find an alternative, rejecting suggestions from the patient staff while her dog became increasingly agitated. After much deliberation, she begrudgingly selected a chocolate caramel tart with a hint of English rose.

The situation escalated as the dog, named Douze, began to growl and claw at the bag, eventually jumping out before the transaction was complete. The customer, clearly flustered and disappointed by the lack of her original choice, placed the pastry crookedly in her bag before departing the store with the restless pet. The scene concluded when the next customer in line calmly ordered an apple tart, contrasting with the dramatic exchange that had just occurred in the shop.
