“I went to a deli and said, ‘I’d like to buy a bagel with cream cheese’” (joke)
“I’d like to buy a bagel with cream cheese” is not always the same as “I’d like to buy a bagel and cream cheese.” The following joke (which went viral) was posted on Twitter by Adam Cerious on March 10, 2021:
customer: I’d like to buy a bagel with cream cheese
me: sorry, we only take cash
manager: can I talk to you
“I went to a deli and said, I’d like to buy a bagel with cream cheese. The kid behind the counter said, sorry we only take cash or credit cards” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on March 11, 2021.
“Hi, I’d like to buy a cookie with chocolate chips.”/“Sorry, we only accept cash,” “I tried to buy a hot dog with ketchup, but the vendor would only accept cash” and “I’d like to buy a ham and cheese baguette with pickles.”/“Sorry, we only take cash or card” are similar jokes.
“I tried paying taxes with a smile, but the IRS wanted cash” is a similar saying.

the customer is asking if they can buy a bagel with cream cheese, meaning putting cream cheese on the bagel, but the ‘me’ person interpreted that as buying a bagel with cream cheese as currency instead of buying the bagel with money? idk if that makes sense ldskjflsd
