AITA for asking for my eggs of toast?

I bought breakfast at a cafe.

I would say I am reasonably regular, like they would recognise me.

I ordered the same thing I always do, a veggie breakfast.

They always put the eggs on the plate and never on the toast. I always have to move them and, sometimes, I break them.

This woman requested that the eggs be put on her toast.

I like it better when the eggs are already on the toast.

I asked them today when I ordered if they could put the eggs on the toast.

The owner acted like I was being really fussy nd said I could put them on myself.

She heard the server make a snarky comment.

Then, I could hear her talking to the chef.

“Sometimes, it gets a bit much.”

I got my breakfast and the eggs were on the toast, but I would never ask again based on her reaction.

She felt a little embarrassed and didn’t want to go back there.

It kind of made me feel embarrassed, and I don’t want to go there any more for a while, which is disappointing because I like their breakfast.

Was I the jerk for asking for the eggs on the toast?

Was she being too picky, or did the employees make a big deal out of nothing/
