| - I've been coming here for years, and love this place. As such, I've learned to deal with the fact that they stop serving sandwiches around 2pm every day. I'll either order before I am ready to eat and eat it a half hour later, or I'll call in the order ahead of time if I'm coming in right around 2.
Here I am today, on a nice Sunday afternoon - 1:29 to be precise. The place is packed and we had a difficult time finding a seat - having to share the edge if a table with kind strangers.
As I ordered my drink, I told the girl I would come back up when the line died down to order food - the reason being, I wanted to make it easy on her and the other girl working to take care of folks behind me in the long line. She said ok.
So, at 2:10, the line was gone and I went back to the counter to order my sammich. Only, the same girl says, "Sorry. We stop serving sandwiches at 2. You can have soup."
Now, on a normal day, the workers here are all usually cool with wrapping up the sandwiches around 2, but also being cool with people to not have some strict absolute cut off. Further, the only reason I didn't order before 2 was because I could see they were swamped and wanted to let them take care of the big line.
I had never seen either if the girls working today before. I absolutely like the other people I've seen working here for years - this place survives on the cool, neighborhood vibe and they really make it nice.
These two trolls working today completely ruined my opinion of this place. Basically, it was 2:10 when I asked for the sandwich. The grill was still going, the food was all still out and ready to make the sandwich. Instead, I'm sitting here starving, watching the two girls who refused to make my sandwich talking. Yes, they couldn't make me lunch, but boy can they talk. And talk. No customers at the counter, all the stuff to make sandwiches still out and sitting there, and they are just gabbing and gabbing and gabbing.
This is rude and wrong, and has completely ruined any chances for me returning anytime soon.
