Days gone by . . .

[falloutfennec]

My boyfriend works in a sandwich shop and someone asked for “extra extra extra extra cucumbers.” So anyway this is what that looked like

[sl33py-g4m3r]

proud of myself

feel like I shouldn't be proud of this; but I am. I feel I shouldn't because it's just normal people stuff to do in the world...

goes to show how I've let anxiety have a chokehold on me for quite a good chunk of my life.

the hang up was just my vision and that the shop had remodeled so there wasn't the signs stating what's there on the windows for the ingredients. as I've stated many other times, I'm legally blind. Left eye has some vision that's very bad, right eye has none and is scar tissue. idk if that's relevant to the post at all tho...

glad anxiety didn't kick me during this today~~ that was kind of nice. cute little sandwich shop~~

Ordered my own sandwich at a sandwich shop~~!! and even got brave enough to ask about a couple cookies. still unfortunately said sorry a lot during tho...

vegetarian sandwich on cheese and herb bread with a garlic aioli. was really good~~~ spinach got wilted a bit and not crisp... but was good regardless~~

didn't realize it at the time but I guess the pandemic years affected everyone huh? I went from walking to the park in town, and to the convenience store alone, to, not going outside unless it was to my siblings place or to appointments, go shopping, take garbage out, get mail... and that was it...

Now I wish my anxiety would chill out enough for me to start walking to the park and around town again.

the "nothing changed" thing I thought of about covid in that my lifestyle hadn't changed, was in fact, incorrect. It had changed, I just hadn't noticed it until it bit me in the ass.

I still mask; I still will continue to wear masks, cause even if you aren't sick, it could prevent germs you have from getting anyone else sick. It's the polite thing to do at this point given we've been doing it for 4 years now. imo covid still exists, it's still mutating, we still need to be careful about it.

tl;dr, day with the family, ordered my own sandwich~~!! today was a good day~~ suck it anxiety~~!! we got a tasty sandwich cause you didn't get in the way~~!! wooooooo~~!!!

sleeping patterns still very weird now~~ i go to bed~~~

i have the urge to write a sandwich shop au abt the marauders and just use actual things that i have experienced in working at 2 diff sandwich shops. you’d b surprised by the amount of shit that’s happened 😭

[quodo-gaysex]

so i work at a sub shop, and we label our meats right? well, stuff usually expires in 3 days so we label it as such. (ex: 5/1-5/3) except the beef. sliced roast beef at my work is only good for 2 days.

some fucking knucklehead labeled the beef:

5/30-5/33

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? THERE IS NO 33rd DAY IN MAY, AND WE BEEN KNEW ABOUT THE BEEF TIME FOR FUCKING YEARS.

To my favorite sandwich shop:

If you don't want to honor the "buy fifteen get one free" sandwich cards, THEN DON'T GIVE OUT THE FUCKING SANDWICH CARDS!

It's not even like I get every 16th sandwich for free, because a lot of the times the cashier will just forget to give me a card (the lady who works the lunch shift is on top of it, but the girls who work the dinner shift are hit or miss), so these 15 cards represent like 20 or 30 sandwiches I paid full price for, something like $300, over the course of seven or eight months of regular patronage! I'm a loyal customer, I tip every single time, so I don't think it's unreasonable for me to cash in FIFTEEN cards for ONE free sandwich ONCE A YEAR! If that fucks up your inventory, or somehow messes with your register till, then you're bad at running a business! That's not my fault.

There's no expiration date on the cards and I was given the 15th last week, so this is clearly still a thing you're doing! The promotion isn't over, so why are you giving me shit for it?

Don't advertise a sale and then get pissed off when someone tries to get in on it!

Most places like this have buy-10-get-1 offers, so buy-15 is a ripoff anyway!

[callsign-songbird]

Omg. THIS. And forgive me for adding my own thoughts on, but the brain bullets are firing.

The sandwich of the day deal starts getting more traction to a surprising degree. You've briefly mentioned your hole in the wall diamond in the rough sandwich shop to your coworkers, but none of them seemed really interested. So why in the world do more and more people keep showing up for sandwiches? Why in the world do you get there and have to wait in a line that gets longer by the day, to the point that it makes you late to work some days?

And you can't be upset. No. You're happy for them, really. It's been great to get to try the different sandwiches of the day. To slowly watch them expand a kids menu with peanut butter and jellies, and grilled cheeses. It's been wonderful to see them expand and add nut free options, gluten free options, and have a different sandwich for breakfast and the rest of the day. You're so happy for them.

But it kind of feels like you've lost your hidden gem. You don't have any time to strike up friendly small talk with the man in the boonies hat, or engage in playful banter with the pretty waiter. It's hard running a business, and their either always busy or never around. and you always leave a tip when you can, and you always use your punch card (Which you notice always has noticeably more skulls on it than the regular customers' new punch cards with sandwiches on them) but it just doesn't feel the same.

But, the sandwiches are still always good, so it's worth planning a little extra time into your morning commute to stand in line. Especially since the grumpy chef and the pretty waiter always at least recognize you and offer you a nod. Besides, five quid for a good sandwich is practically criminal with how good of a deal it is. Who cares if they close once every couple of months and get a new name? Copyright is hard, you imagine, and it's not your place to dictate how they run their business.

But sometimes good things just can't last. Not expecting the line to be longer and longer every day, you never plan to be five minutes late to work, or ten, or an hour. And that adds up. Even if you always stay late to make it up. Sometimes it's not enough. Sometimes, you just get fired. And it sucks.

So what can you do? Sure, you could suck it up, go home, and start looking for another job. And you probably will. But going to your favorite sandwich shop and eating your feelings just before close sounds like a much better idea right now.

When you come in. They can already tell that something is off. You've been coming to their shop consecutively for nearly three years now, so they know you. Of course, Price had a background check run on you that first time you came in genuinely for a sandwich to make sure that you weren't a rookie from a rival mob trying to scout out the competition.

You don't look like when you're tired or when you've had to stay late at work this time, and for a second, Soap asks Price if it's about time to redeem all of their favorite customers accrewed skulls. After all, loyalty is something they value as a mob, and even if you just get the sandwiches and have no clue about their front, loyalty is loyalty. You're the reason their front is thriving after all, and you have no clue how much less shady you've made their front by somehow turning it into a real sandwich shop. But Price tells Soap to hold steady and bide his time. After all, they don't even know what has you down yet.

Price decides to send Gaz in, ever the friendly smooth-talker. But no one expects gruff and quiet Simon to bring you a sandwich before you've even ordered and plop down in the booth across from you. He doesn't say anything, just sets the plate down and offers you a nod. It wasn't even the sandwich of the day or from the constant menu. It was a sandwich that Simon noticed made your smile just a bit wider every time it was made. A "comfort food" if you will.

Price, Soap, and Gaz all stand by the slightly ajar kitchen door, listening as you absolutely break down to the gruff giant. They all listen as you vent about losing your job for being late so many times, no matter how often you stay late or how hard you worked. How you're out of a job for now, and you were just going to eat your feelings at your favorite sandwich place.

Normally, you wouldn't break down like that to a practical stranger. But this just felt different. It felt easier with the men that you had seen nearly every day for three years. With the sandwich shop that had almost outlasted your stable job at this point.

And while Simon doesn't really know what to offer you other than an awkward pat on the back and a rough sounding "M' sorry, love." He certainly didn't accept any payment for your sandwich, with the pretty waiter poking his head out to insist that it was on the house. Little could you see, Price had him by the back of the shirt collar, keeping him from walking straight out with his pistol in hand. They can't afford to handle this like greenhorns, after all.

You didn't expect what came in your mailbox within the next week. At first, you had thought it was just a fast food coupon flyer like they send out occasionally. What you didn't expect to see was that your favorite sandwich shop was hiring.

The mob side of business had been absolutely thriving with the use of a proper front to operate under. They've been hitting more commissions and requests than ever, so they can afford to hire someone to take orders and run the register while they make the real money. They'll just have to watch their tongues a bit more. No trouble, right?

i love the mob front au you've been doing lately. just the mental image of going in and ordering for the first time to a very surprised and borderline bewildered gaz, who passes on your request to ghost, who eyes you up and down and finally acquiesces with a sigh and a 'yeah olright'. of coming back the next week and seeing a bearded man holding court in the corner booth and simon gruffly hands you a wrapped sandwich (that you didn't even order yet) and informing you that it's 'to-go, so beat it' when you'd originally planned on sitting and eating it there (he didn't even remember to charge you this time... dope!). of passing by the dumpster outside and not noticing all the red liquid splattered against it. of the sandwich shop closing suddenly and re-opening two weeks later with a new name and absolutely nothing else having changed. of getting a funny look from the cook when you leave a tip. mwah! perfect! -391780

The first time you go in to the restaurant you're met with incredibly bewildered looks from the three men in the corner booth and the one large man who's standing over them. You assume the big guy is the waiter? But then the pretty one scurries over as you're taking a seat and when you ask for a menu he looks even more confused. Then the big guy comes over and stares down at you over the pretty one's shoulder and grunts out something about a sandwich, so you order a sandwich. It takes a while and you're pretty sure you see the big guy walking back to the shop with groceries, but it's a good fucking sandwich so you don't really care. Plus you're starving and the big guy grunts out a "Five" when you ask how much it is, so you don't ask questions.

The next time you wander in, you're pretty sure it's closed but you can hear noise coming from somewhere, and the bell over the door rang so someone must hear something. A minute later the big guy (who you assume is the cook) is leaning to look out the kitchen pass through, and glaring at you. He tells you it's five for a sandwich and when you ask what kind he goes, "You want the sandwich or not?" You get it to go, he doesn't have change for your tenner so he gives it to you for free. You're a little worried you just took this guy's lunch, but you're not in the business of asking questions. You take the paper wrapped sandwich and head back to work.

The cook yells at some guy with a mohawk to take your order. You tell him you want the sandwich of the day and hand him your punch card. He flips open a pocket knife and exes out one of the little skulls. You feel moderately violated for your punch card. The next time you come in the cook takes your order and swears when he sees the cut x in your card. He pulls out a phone and starts yelling at someone on the other end. You turn up your music and hand him a fiver in exchange for your card back. He gives you an extra serving of chips on the side.

The shop closes suddenly and you're more upset than you should be considering it was a front for the mob. You grab lunch from your second favorite(legitimately run) shop for the next two weeks. Another shop opens in the place your previous favorite was. It's exactly the same shop with exactly the same grumpy looking cook in the pass through window. You are given the same bewildered looks when you open the door that you got the first time you came in, except this time the guy in the boonie hat laughs when he sees you. The only difference is the chalkboard beside the serving window which has "sandwich of the day 5 quid" written on it in bold letters. It does not tell you what the sandwich is. You order it to go.

CRUST – Fresh Sourdough Deli, 760 E Tasman Dr, Milpitas, CA 95035

If you love fresh sourdough bread and sandwiches, CRUST delivers. I do like both and the bread was five stars. The rest of the sandwich was good, but didn’t feel special enough for five stars. The sandwiches are fresh but basic, with few options for customization. The cold signature sandwiches are $12.99 (turkey, ham, salami, chicken, roast beef, pastrami, tuna salad, cheese, etc.). Sandwiches come with lettuce, tomato, red onions, Swiss cheese, house spread, and choice of mustard or spicy mustard. You can add avocado for $1.

They also have a few hot sandwich specials (roast beef dip, hot pastrami, and meatballs), salads, freshly baked cookies, bagged potato chips, and drinks. The cold cuts are already sliced (vs. sliced to order), but it looks like they sliced them on site.

#6 pastrami signature sandwich: everything was fresh but the sandwich wasn’t well constructed. The bread doesn’t hold the fillings. The shredded iceberg lettuce fell out and the meat and cheese also moved around with each bite. The wide sourdough roll was excellent, chewy with a light crunch and real sourdough flavor. They don’t give you as much meat as some other sandwich shops. The pastrami was good – a bit salty but tender. I don’t like iceberg lettuce. If there was a house spread I could not taste it because of the strong spicy mustard. I do like strong spicy mustard. There was very little red onion.

They bake their own sourdough bread and use Boar’s Head deli meats. They can’t offer a choice of cheese or a choice of bread?

The interior had a rustic deli feel with plenty of seating. Outdoor seating is also available. This location is in a business park with easy parking. Online ordering available

4 out of 5 stars
