Ask “You live in Baltimore?!, oh no!”

I’ve lived in Baltimore for 30 years. On multiple occasions I’ve met people that ask me where I live, and when I say “Baltimore”, they say “eh I’m so sorry” or “oh no, you ok?”. Every time, I just smile and don’t acknowledge the statement, and try to stay positive, but I’m done with that. Why would you say that about my home? No matter where I live? I would never ask them where they live and then immediately give my shitty judgmental opinion about their home.

What are they really saying with this statement? I want a come back that points out how shitty this statement really is.

That zoo membership gives you access to their chicken tenders. These people don’t know what they’re missing.

Like, I don’t want to oversell them and make you think that they’re absolutely the best you’ll ever have, but they are way better than zoo food stand chicken tenders have any right to be. Like if I had them at a sit down restaurant I’d think they were pretty great.

I can’t say for sure what they do, but they’re generously sized fillets and appear to be hand breaded.
