A Midwest man who brought his coworkers bagels sliced like bread is getting an earful from New Yorkers and social media.
Alek Krautmann on Monday tweeted a photo of his Panera purchase and called the vertical slices “the St. Louis secret.” Krautmann pointed out it creates more slices and more surface area for cream cheese. He wrote the few remaining slices make nice bagel chips with hummus.
However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York wasn’t buying it over the traditional horizontal slice. The Democrat tweeted “St Louis, fuhgeddaboudit.”
New York City’s chief of detectives Dermot Shea thanked posters for reporting “this crime.” He wrote it would never happen in New York.
Panera told Krautmann the bagels “are on us” next time and they’ll be sliced however he’d like.

Thank you for reporting this crime, but we only serve New York City, where this would NEVER happen. https://t.co/dNCyX56svk

Very very important news . Thx for sharing.
This is news?????
Wow this is the most interesting newsworthy thing I’ve ever read
I’ve witnessed this in NYC years ago. It is an acceptable way to eat a false bagel.
Glad Schumer has nothing more important to deal with than how some man 700 miles away sliced his bagels! Strange world we live in.
How is this different than DeBlasio eating his pizza with a fork and knife?
