Strange gives the poor worker a look, the sort of look that minimum wage slaves of all sorts know marks the sign of a customer who's going to be far too difficult. "I suppose I'll take an apple fritter. I'll be telling the management about this, of course."
Kelly just responds with a strained look and an, "Of course sir" as she goes back to making his coffee. And, in all the commotion, Strange straight up missed the fact that Pearl was the one who put a glamour over the donuts in the first place. No, he's chalking this one up to food service worker incompetence. At her comment though, Strange turns back to Pearl with a sneer.
"Does it really count as me being a tease if I'm never going to act on it in the first place? I don't want someone's lackey. Especially not one who mistakes ease for competence. The most powerful ma-methods are the ones you struggle to learn in the first place."
Thankfully, Strange caught himself before he could say 'magic,' though it was obviously on the tip of his tongue.
