The local deli

Today was another "cubicle" day. I woke up 5:00am, drank my homemade coffee (black), and got dressed. By the time i got out it was 7:23am. I got to the office and everything was fine. I don't bother making my own lunch, to much work. So i go to the local deli at break (1:30-2:00 which I think is to short) and what do you know new guys. Teenagers about 17-19, who just want a quick buck from us hard working men. I don't hate teens, i just prefer them to be a-bit of better workers. "May i have a bologna and American cheese on wheat bread to go" i asked?
"Sir, um, Mr...barker".
"Backer" i interrupted.
"What ever, look we don't American cheese, would you like Swiss"?
"Then bologna and mayo"
She squinted her eyes and interrupted "well Mr.BA-CKER we don't have mayo"
By now i didn't want to argue for 10 minutes over a sandwich, i only have 30 minutes.
"OK, then i will have a meatball parmigiana" i stated.
"OK SIR DO NOT STRIKE A TONE"!
"ok miss, i am sorry i have 30 minutes only"
"I don't care to be all honest sir"
I wanted to scream, instead i walked to a bag of riffles and put it on the counter.
"I will have 1 bag of riffles and a small cup of coke to go, PLEASE".
"OK sir the total price is $2.12 will that be cash or credit".
"cash here is a five my total change is $2.88"
"someones good at math, OK sir here you go"
I got back to work and took a chip. As stale as ray j jay Johnson. After a little bit of chips, brake was over. i had to put away my coke, which will probably be stolen by Janette. Maybe the next time I'll go to subway, which is a 7 minute drive. Better then our deli.
