Happiness Abounds

Some happy experiences, but as a worker bee and a customer.

Best...Ever??

As I've mentioned, I work in a university office and deal mostly with faculty. One of them, PI for Professor Incredible, had me do quite a bit of work for her last year - mostly grade-recording type things. Christmas rolled around, and a few profs. got me little presents- a calendar, popcorn, candies, etc. After the break, PI saw me in the office. Through the window, I saw her point, exaggerated motions, running back to her office, then back to me.

PI: I was afraid I'd forget! *hands card*
Me: *opens* Um..wow.

It was a giftcard to a local coffeeshop. On the card was written "To the best GRA ever!" I was really touched. I managed to stammer out a thank you, and then crafted a more eloquent thank you note. I got a lot of yummy coffee and chai out of that card!

The Awesome Sandwich Makers of KC

I love Quizno's. Beyond words. Their sandwiches are much yummier than Subways (IMO). I go there 1-2 times a week for a Tuscan Turkey or Black Angus Steak or...well, I try to mix it up. The search for a Quizno's in KCMO took a while. The closest one to my house I won't ever go to again. The staff is rude, they are frequently out of stock (like...chicken), and well, the very polite cashiers usually don't speak English as a first language. I try to patient, but it can be very frustrating when I can't understand what she's saying.

The next closest one is in Mission and I avoid Kansas as a matter of principle. So, I trot my happy butt out to Wornall & 103rd. Since most of you aren't from here, this is an area right in between a very poor area and a very rich area, with the added benefit of being right off an interstate loop. I know they get an interesting mix of ghettoness and EW's.

The staff is super friendly. I usually small talk with the cashier while waiting for my sandwich to be done (frequently chatting about SCs). They've never been out of anything. They don't mind when I blank and forget which sandwich shop I'm in and order a 6 in. The sandwiches are always neat (no filling coming out all over the place). And well, the food is super yummy.

So here's to you, night shift of Quizno's at 103 & Wornall in KC!

I love going to Subway. I've never tried Quiznos.

There's a Subway on campus that I go to all the time. It's great - but I prefer Quizno's oven-toasted pieces of deliciousness.

There's a subway with a drive-thru that's walking distance from my house. The staff there (and the owner) are cool as hell. The subs there are good, but the toasty yumminess from Quiznos trumps Subway.

i personally cant stand subway,

after you have been shut in a bathroom with several of their employees, the smell just makes you sick, (i did observed drug testing for a while if you are wondering why im shut in bathrooms with other people)

i have a cool place that i go too.

auntie annes pretzels, you know the big pretzels that you get, well they have these great hot dog wrapped pretzels, i usually get them with either a pretzel or a stick and some cheese to go with it.

i started going there because it was right next to the att store where i was trying to upgrade and then later had some issues with the phone i had. and since its not that far from where i work in the mall its a much shorter difference.

well today i go there, and i asked for another frequent pretzel card since i didnt have the one i usually had on me, so the guy gets the card and stamps out 2 rows worth of free pretzels, i say to him whoa what are you doin there i didnt order that many pretzels today (not that i ever get 10 pretzels in one day 4 maybe with the buy one get one deals they have) he says, its ok your a high roller here. i thanked him and went on my way.
