CSG....again

If you haven't read my original CSG post (March 2012), I would recommend that you take a few minutes to do so for the following reasons:

1. It's funny
2. It's background information for the story I'm about to tell

.............


So about a week ago, I went to the non-creepy-behind-my-house Subway for dinner. As usual, it was the same girl who works there 98% of the time. Except now, she's super pregnant.

Jim and I went there for dinner a couple days later. No pregnant girl this time. Instead there was another guy. It seemed like his first day on the job. He was going REALLY slow, despite the fact that the place was really crowded, and seemed pretty confused by the concept of evenly distributing the cheese along the entire length of the bread. But he was trying really hard and not making small talk so I can deal with slow if I don't have to say anything other than "lettuce, tomato, green peppersssssss, etc.

I went there again tonight for dinner. Same new guy. So I'm pretty certain that the chick must be out on maternity leave and this is her replacement. Unfortunately, it turns out that when they are not busy (I was the only customer in line), and possibly further fueled by the fact that I was there by myself, it turns out that the new guy is totally annoying, pretty weird, very awkward, and sort of totally creepy.

I'm not going to say he was hitting on me, because God help him if that was considered flirting. I think he just likes to be friendly and it probably makes his job better to talk to people about things other than sandwich toppings. Good for him. Not so well received by me.

CSG: What can I get you?

Me: Veggie on flatbread.

CSG: No. I'm sorry. I can't do that for you (laughing and smiling as he grabs the bread).

CSG: Cheese?

Me: Pepperjack

CSG: Did you watch that movie yet that I was telling you about?

Me: (blank stare)

CSG: Oh, that wasn't you I was talking to about [some movie he mentioned that I don't remember the name of. It possibly had something to do with Harvard Law school]?

Me: Nope

CSG: Oh. Well there's a scene where Tom Green is like, "Cheese! You can never have too much cheese!!" And then he starts piling tons of cheese up. It's so funny! A guy can dream, right?

Me: (okay, so this guy fantasizes about cheese. Definitely NOT hitting on me then)

CSG: What else would like on your sandwich?

Me: Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper

CSG: It's my goal to try and memorize every regular customer's sandwich order so that as soon as you walk in the door, I'll already have made your sandwich.

Me: Well I come here all the time.

CSG: I won't remember though. I'm not that good.

Me: (no shit, cause you just grabbed a handful of pickles)

CSG: I wish they still had Feta cheese here. They used to ya know? Yeah. Like 10 years ago I worked at a Subway that had Feta. I guess it was too expensive to keep on the menu though.

Me: Or it was grossly unpopular.

CSG: You don't like Feta?! I LOVE Feta. I've been eating it since I was 4. Hahaha! No. Not really. Can you imagine giving a 4 year old such a hard cheese like that? That would be crazy! But a guy can dream again, right?

Me: (another cheese fantasy.....)

I handed him my money (6 singles) and he started counting the bills out loud, stopped after $2, and said, "I'm just joking! I trust you."

I would not have been at all offended if he actually had counted out the singles, but whatever. Glad our movie/cheese conversation was trust-building for him.

CSG: Have a great night! See you next time!

So where is the next nearest Subway........
