Not starting a conflict here, but I’m curious as to how saying “without butter or cheese” violates proper English. It was simply something she didn’t want to say. She wouldn’t humble herself, probably raised her voice, and the police were called.
How is that standing up for the use of proper English?

Do you always list the ingredients you do not desire with every order you place at a restaurant? My bet is you specify those ingredients that are included in the order unless you ask for them to be omitted. Starbucks bagels do not automatically come with butter or cheese. Perhaps it is more a point of logic than a point of English.
Why do you assume she raised her voice?
