A Confectioner's Nightmare

I was walking through a mall at the very end of which is a funnel cake shop. I mean, they have other things but the funnel cake was what I was after. I get to the end and do not smell any sweets, which worries me. The smell is actually of fresh disinfectant, as if a store has just opened and is still new and clean smelling.
I round the corner and into the shop where I find that it's been replaced by comic books. I ask the person behind the counter, still filled with confectionaries, where did the funnel cakes go? He tells me they moved and that he doesn't know where. Then he proceeds to tell me his daughter's recipe for funnel cakes, but he whispers all the important parts where I can not hear him. I don't bother to ask him to repeat, I just leave the store.
Bummed out, I proceed to a fudge shop where I find that the prices are different than they once were and are in fact, too expensive. Not only that but it seems as if it's a sliding scale of pricing which is difficult to understand.
So I leave that store while the counter clerk is still helping another customer. I then find myself in front of a kiosk of sorts. There is someone standing behind an area that has coin candy machines on the bottom and scoopable candies on top. I proceed to get a few quarters out only to be asked by the people I am with if they could "bum a quarter" off of me. I find myself in possession of one lone quarter and am just about to buy a bite sized bar of my choosing when the lady informs me that the candy is unreachable.
I leave disappointed.
I am wondering if I should tell you how I ran into Justin Timberlake before this..
Dream.. This was a Dream and only a Dream. I would not mind at all running into Justim Timberlake.

It all sounded slightly real..except a comic book store would not be filled with confectionaries, and JT although from Tennessee would likely not be at your mall. The rest I could almost believe!

Well, I knew I wrote that a bit weird. There was still one case of confectionaries and I don't know why it was there, but yes it was odd to see that.
As for JT, he was actually in another dream altogether. He was trying to act as if he was a waiter and not famous at all, but I realized who he was (even through a disguise).

@ScribbledAdNauseum Well you know sometimes celebrities do show up in odd places. Phil Donohue and Marlo Thomas were in a gas station convenience store one time in my home town buying subs..The owner or the clerk asked them.."What are you doing here?" Phil said "Everybody has to be somewhere." They were probably just on a drive along the lake shore.

@snowy22315 We kind of forget that they are human sometimes. Prone to the same whimsy as we are.

Well, it doesn't matter now. I woke up and received the Baklava this evening.

The smell wasn't bad in my dream, it just wasn't sweet like it should have been.
