Why has NBC decided to push all the coverage until late night ? One would think that EASILY they could start at six each night and hopefully do a better job.
The other day when I had to go visit our attorney to sign papers for trust and wills, I thought I'd stop quickly to get a sandwich before returning to work. I stopped at Subway. I suppose it was a sandwich. The bread was tasteless. The lunchmeat, what there was of it, was like cardboard. I waited in a long line while patrons led each sandwich maker though each condiment and addition to their sandwich. Wouldn't it be a better way to tell the maker up front what you want on your sandwich, so we don't all have to listen to the barrage of questions regarding each item and wait for the patron to decide if he wants that or more of that or not that at all. I lost it. And they lost my sandwich. Someone needed the toaster oven and they put my sandwich on top of it. The makers couldn't figure out why I was standing there with no sandwich to question me about. It was definitely comical.
Bottom line, though, Subway wasn't worth stopping at for whatever I might have saved by going there.
Today at lunch, I had to go down to AAA to pay a registration fee. I stopped at the Plaza Deli in La Cumbre Plaza. What a difference. The sandwiches are all listed, along with all the extras that are on it. I ordered and said, "Hold the onions...". and that is all that was necessary. The bread was very good as were the pastrami, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce in the sandwich. And, incidentally, the Plaza Deli was less money !!! Boy has America been duped by fast-food chains into believing that they are better, cheaper and faster. I proved it wrong again and have learned my lesson! (again).
