So how's your day going?

[gager]

So I went to Subway this evening and there was only one person working - an attractive ~20 year-old dark-haired girl who was in the process of changing out the bread.

Me: Hi!
Her: One second!
Me: No problem, I'm in no rush.

about a minute passes...

Her: Great! What would you like?
Me: Do you have the seafood sensation here?
Her: Yep!
Me: Oh, I didn't see it on the men...oh, there it is.
Her: Yeah, it's a new menu and everything has moved.
Me: Ok, can I get a foot-long wheat seafood sensation?
Her: Sure!
Me: So how's your day going?

She pauses, looks up into my eyes intently, then looks back down.

Her: Horrible...
Me: Oh?
Her: Yeah, I just found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me.
Me: Oh.
Her: Toasted?
Me: No thanks.
Her: What vegetables?
Me: Lettuce, tomato, a few green peppers, and banana peppers

While she is doing that the silence stretches.

Me: Did you find out before you came to work?
Her: No, he let me know via text.
Me: oh.
Her: Any sauces?
Me: Spicy Mustard
Her: Dijon work?
Me: Yes
Me: Do you at least get to go home soon?
Her: No, I work late.
Me: That sucks.
Her (putting on a brave face): I've accepted it now. $6.79

I hand her my discover

Her: Mastercard or Visa

I hand her my mastercard

Me: Well... I hope your day gets better

She smiles.
I leave.

And so ended the most awkward Subway ordering experience ever!
