During my work week I frequent Subway for healthy eating. Lately I've been running into the weirdest people during my visits. Yesterday was a mid 40's construction worker, and today was another mid 40's geek. . .. ....
Yesterday I was behind this construction worker and he seemed friendly enough to the employees. As he got to the register and go his total of $5.41 for his foot long Spicy Italian, he was in dis-belief that they charged him tax and he claimed, "This is the only Subway that ever charges me tax for my sandwich, No other subway charges tax for $5 foot longs!" The kid at the register who was probably still in high school, obviously wasn't the one responsible for adding on $.41 to this guys order explained, "Umm, I'm sorry?" The construction guy then claimed it was, "Amazing." What I find amazing is that this guy is getting a foot long sandwich for only five dollars, and he has the nerve to even open his mouth and express his useless opinion to some one who has no control over the matter, all for 41 cents. I don't understand people, but perhaps it's time that guy gets a real job and stops worrying about how much change goes into his ash tray after he leaves Subway. The kid at the register told me that one time some guy was so pissed about getting charged tax that he kicked the door open on the way out. Nice.
Today I'm in line at Subway again and I'm sending Greg a txt message asking him how it felt that I lit him up at gate practice last night after not doing gates in a month and a half. The guy in front of me asks what kind of phone I have. I tell him, "Sidekick." He says, "Oh really, who makes it?" "T-mobile," I said. He pauses for like 15 seconds and then says, "T-mobile is your service provider, who makes the phone?" Dumb founded at this point I'm starting to wonder if I'm wearing a T-mobile shirt and if I'm being mistaken for a T-Mobile employee, I tell the guy "It's a T-Mobile Sidekick." He pauses again before he states, "T-mobile doesn't make phones but that's ok." Just to shut the dude up I just say, "It's ok, I don't know." The line moves forward and he turns back around and says, "It should say on it who makes the phone..." I just tell him "Ok, cool."
So basically the Subweird lunch rush is full of noisy, cheap, weirdos and I'm still a bit dumb struck about these two dudes. $.41 is not the end of the world and it doesn't matter who makes the T-mobile Sidekick now does it?
I'm going to start wearing this every where
