That's especially funny as the sociolect used to buy döner is actually a High German variant (as immigrants coming to Germany will usually learn Standard German in their language courses and mix that with their mother tounge). All the Bubatz I've bought in my wild youth, I've gotten from Thomases and Michaels who were speaking perfectly good Standard German.
