Stories From The Sandwich Shop

Do you have an NTTD version of this?

I suppose one could ask....from another country...online via a random AOL-worthy screen name...>_> That *might* be safe...

Shake It!

Stop Being So Cheerful
Today someone told me that I needed to stop being so cheerful. First time I've heard that in the 6 or 7 years I've been obscenely cheerful to customers.

I believe this is a quality one would actually LOOK for in a stripper.

In my town, there's a Hispanic family that opened up a Mexican restaraunt. It didn't go over too well because there are a lot of Mexican restaraunts already.

So they decided to change their restaraunt to Athena's Grille, a Greek food place. Nobody served Greek food in our town until then. It's doing rather well.

Speaking of matching people's origin to the restaurant they work in or own, when I first came to the DC area from the Deep South I was puzzled as to why a Mexican restaurant would be closed on Yom Kippur. It did not occur to me immediately that the restaurant was owned and run by those who observe that holiday.

Interesting that people who observe that holiday would operate a restaurant where at least 90% of the items feature both meat and milk products.

Me: Here's your order! I included a copy of our menu in your bag. We deliver every day of the week within a 2000 mile radius.

no wonder you have such a low profit margin....imagine you paying drivers....

"yes, ma'am/sir if its not there in under 3 days or its free!"

Me: I apologize. I am not trying to annoy you. Your total for the chicken sandwich and Thai tea is $89,342.33.
Me: Ok, that will be $223.98 for the tapioca.

never mind...heres the profit margin...do you take down payments?

and is the food gold plated? :P

and is the food gold plated?

Interesting that people who observe that holiday would operate a restaurant where at least 90% of the items feature both meat and milk products.

Does their religion restrict them from serving such to non-belivers? And not all observers of that holiday observe the strict dietary rules.

However, I used to eat lunch at a restaurant run by Muslims. They had a delicious BLT sandwich I liked. The "B" was Sizzle-Lean, which is a beef product, and made a delicious BLT.

And just try to find a dish with cheese in a Chinese restaurant. I had a couple of Thanksgiving dinners at the home of Chinese friends that run a Chinese restaurant. I took some cheese bread for my contribution to the meal. The younger members of the family, who grew up in the US, ate it all up. The older members ignored it.
