| - First impression: not so great. Two ladies working the counter. One was ranting about something to what appeared to be a regular customer. And I do mean ranting... F-bombs were dropped. I'm not above swearing, but I know better than to do it in front of a customer. She couldn't be arsed to stop long enough to take my order (I was the only other customer in there... it's not like there was a line), and didn't ask until my order was nearly complete if I was being taken care of. The lady that did take my order was less than friendly. She warmed up to me as she wrapped up my order, but by then the first impression had already been made.
I ordered half a roast beef sandwich with a garden salad. The sandwich itself was good - bless them for using real cheddar and fresh lettuce. It did taste home-made, which is what they promised, but it also means that I could just make the same thing at home if I really wanted to, so it's nothing really special either. I was just thinking that I might give the Lunch Bag another try next time I was in the area when I looked down and saw a dark spot on the bread. I'm not gonna say it was mold... but I've never seen that kind of coloring on a piece of sourdough. I tossed the rest of the sandwich - for better or for worse, I had already finished most of it. The salad, at least, was decently fresh (I wasn't totally sure about the tomatoes) and the poppyseed dressing was absolutely delicious... but I am almost entirely certain I won't be back. I don't often eat out for lunch, but the Lunch Bag is close to my nearest post office, so they *could* have had a regular customer... but they missed their shot.
Too bad, 'cause their cookies looked awesome.
