Been a long time
It's been many months since I posted anything here. Figured I'm long overdue, and I have a funny story, so read it
Ok, so I was getting ready to go down to the South Street Seaport in Manhattan last week to hang out with some friends and hadn't eaten much all day, so I went next door to the deli to get a sandwich. I go in, and the new guy is working. See, the thing is, every time I try to order a sandwich from this new guy, he says that they're out of rolls which is bullshit, he just doesn't want to make the sandwich. A girl is in line as I enter and I see that she tries to order a sandwich. I didn't hear his response, but she walks away, no sandwich. So I order a sandwich anyway and he says that someone is out getting rolls, they should be back in an hour (which is complete bullshit). I wasn't about to let him off so easily so I was like, that's cool, I'll just have it on some white bread. "Sorry, out of white bread too." I was like, this bastard, he's not getting off that easily. So I said, ok that's cool, I'll just have it on a bagel, and there was a bag of bagels in plain view, so I had him trapped.
He kind of looked at me for a second, knowing full well I wasn't going to let this go, and waved for me to come down to the cash register. I went, but he kept waving, so i walked behind the counter over to him, in the sandwich creation area or whatever you wanna call it and he says, "listen man, I actually don't know how to make the sandwiches." I was like, no shit. So he says "here's the deal. If you make your own sandwich, you can have it for free."
To this I say, where are the little plastic gloves? I drop my bag, put on the gloves and start cutting a bagel in half. I grab the turkey breast and cheese and go to the deli slicer machine, start slicing up some meat and cheese (much more than they'd normally put on of course) bring it back, put it on the bagel, and grab some lettuce from below the counter. When I look back up, there's some dude on the other side. He says "hey man, can I get a 1/4lb of Tuna Salad." I say, sure, but that other guy will help you with that. I finish making my sandwich, take a Dr. Pepper (also free) and leave saying "have a nice night" to the dude working there.
I love new york.
