I saw what you did

For breakfast today I decided on something a little different. I'd have one box of cereal but wanted something else to go with it. I decided on a bran muffin but, not being sure of their freshness, I gave one a little squeeze with the tongs. It seemed fresh so I  took it.
Over at the cereal area, a man came up behind me and said, "I saw what you did back there." My thoughts race ahead, had he been burned by a stale muffin? "That was very nice," he continued. Was I especially slick in my muffin squeezing? "Most people don't give their cabin stewards anything."
Ah! Back there in the hall! The tip I gave the steward!
But I wanted to ask him if he saw how I tested the muffin!
