Oh no he dosent get the old apple pie he gets the hot new one they just made ohhh no (this post makes no sense and I’m angry)

It makes sense, though. The guy thought the employee meant every apple pie they had in the store, the employee thought the guy was only asking how many were ready. 

According to one Quora user, 12 seems to be the most during breakfast rush they make at a time, so if they had 12 ready that means they're probably hot new ones still.

Instead of screwing them over by leaving them no pies, he just inconveniences them by making them wait however long it takes to cook a new batch of pies (apparently about 12 minutes) or he gives the mom an excuse not to buy the pies by saying "oh see, they're out we don't have time to wait."

Maybe the guy did just want to make them wait 12 minutes and that's all he wanted.

In any case, the guy leaves satisfied at his "justice" whether or not there was any actual justice. (Or he made the story up.)
