after cutting grass, i was looking through the mail. in came subway coupons so i looked up the hours for the subway in our town. they closed at 8:30pm. it was 8:04pm. then i looked for other subways and there was one in the town over that closed at 9:00pm. i got in the car and made the trek. when i got there, i used a coupon for 2 footlongs for $12.99. as i’m ringing out, a guy comes in and he seems to be drunk. he stands by me and looks at the meatball subs i got. he said that it’ll mess up my stomach lmao. then he goes and critiques the kid wrapping my sub. the girl behind the counter said that he’s new here. the guy who i suspect is drunk then asks their ages. both of them are 17. he then claims he’s old af. i ask him how old he is and he says 32. then he asks what my age is and i tell him 28. he then exclaims how old he is. the girl behind the counter said we don’t look as old as we are. then he asks her how old she thinks he looks. she says twenty-five. he pauses then says he’ll take it, but that she said “twenty” to begin with. in my mind, i’m like she has to say twenty first before she can say twenty five stupid lol. then he goes and orders a sandwhich with italian herbs as he pronounces the h.
i told him the h is silent as i walked off, but i couldn’t even hate because i got two footlongs, both with the italian h-herbs.
