I went to the local mall yesterday on my lunch hour, decided to on the way out, stop off at Subway in their food court. Little did I know that I would be there much longer than I normally am when I stop at other Subways.
I already knew what I wanted, which is the buffalo chicken sandwich. It's now my absolute favorite, complete with extra hot sauce. Yum!
But, moving on, it took forever due to this lady, looked to be in her early twenties, yapping on her cell phone, with her friend next to her texting on hers. Her exchange went something like this:
SC: I'd like a footlong, oh hold on. Yeah, we need that money moved to the new account. Yeah, make sure the PIN is not one Jason can access.
SSM (Subway Sandwich Maker): Maam, what kind of footlong would you like?
SC: Hold on. What? (with some annoyance)
SSM: What sandwich would you like?
SC: Oh, the BMT. Yeah, that's a great idea for us to do that. Well, Linda said.....
SSM: What kind of bread would you like?
SC: Hold on. What?
SSM: What kind of bread do you want for your sandwich?
SC: Italian is fine. Now, Linda was saying that she needs that account......
SSM: Cheese?
SC: Hold on. What?
SSM: Cheese?
SC: Yes. So Linda needs that account.....
SSM: What kind of cheese?
SC: Hold on. What? (This was getting old!)
SSM: What cheese do you want on it?
SC: American. OK, I'm back. Linda needs to that account so Jason.....no, he doesn't need to get the PIN for it, only needs to know......
SSM: Would you like anything on the sandwich?
SC: Ugh! Hold on. What?
SSM: Do you want anything on it?
SC: Yes, pickles, peppers, cucumber, and mayonaise. Yeah, Jason doesn't need.....Oh, wait! Don't put mayonaise on that. I meant I wanted mustard. (Thank God she was paying enough attention to see this). Now, for that account, we need to......
SSM: All right, your total is........
SC: Hold on. What?
The friend she was with was texting, but thankfully, she had the politeness to put the phone away and give the other sandwich guy her full attention. This other lady.....I think we all wanted to strangle her. Not once did she put that phone down, nor tell her party she would call back.
Ironically, the Subway closer to my house actually had a sign on the glass that says "Please end all cell phone conversations before ordering". I'm sure most ignore this, however.
