When you work in food service, you need to be attentive to certain allergies or religious/philosophical preferences that people have with food. If I order a bagel and ask for veggie tofu cream cheese, and hear you repeat it back to me, I expect to bite into veggie tofu cream cheese, not dairy cow cream cheese.
