It was another long day at work and this was just lunch.
A long time "lifer" as we call ourselves, was leaving and we needed to have this lunch.
Subway is now our staple go to place at the Depot. Long gone are the day's of the greasy fries and those awesome greasy burgers.....you could hate fries and burgers, but after a day of smelling them, it was like an obsession, you had to have one. You could only hold out so long. Alas Harvey's in no more, at the depot.
Supposedly we have evolved and now dine on freshly baked breads, veggies, and deli meats. It's almost impossible not to notice the smell of freshly baked breads waffing through the store.......
I never seem to order the right sub on the right day so the subs's are always's $55.00 dollars, plus tax and oh yea the drink is extra...... just kidding....
My problems with Subway? I have two.... (1) that even if you pay $5.00 for a sub you have to pay $45.00 for a drink. Ok, Ok, I am exaggerating... but it feels that way. You go to the cash with your $5.00 sub and then they ask you for $9.89 or $12.00??? like what the hell?
(2)The other thing, is that I always have to wash my hands after eating the sub?? Don't know why, but that smell on my hands drives me crazy!!!
I paid more attention to my lunch conversation that day, than the food we were having. I didn't realize it at the time, but I would soon learn how much I would miss those wonderful talks with that "lifer".
She may not realize it but she made a deep impression on me, on all of us. An impression that she doesn't even realize that she has made on us. She was the light that shone so bright for us, and it gave us hope. She was the friendly smile, that person to lean on and that shoulder to cry on. I was on that shoulder alot.
She didn't die, she left us,(she got another job) she left us very sad..... we still miss her very much.....
We still have Subway.........
No smiley faces here..
But I will return, and I will always remember my last conversation here.
