Subway gets my vote!

Have you been to the Subway down by my office on East Main in Puyallup? The menu, colors, booths, even the aprons are the same as all of the other Subways around the world. But the people, ah that's where the differences arise.

My darling little Mallory is always there on Thursday and Friday. She keeps the tables spic and span (Okay--here's a little warning--sometimes the tables are a little moist after she's done with them. Just ask for a couple of napkins and they dry off nicely.) She's one of the kids that works there as a part of a special program from school. She lights up the room with her smile and her warmth.

Then there's the manager, who will remain nameless (as I wouldn't want to embarrass Kelly as she is very nice to me). She's there Monday and Tuesday and is worth the cost of a $5.00 sub. For an extra special adventure ask her about her special pizza--not to be believed.

Stop by and ask for my special sandwich: Anything with any ingredients but with one special difference. I ask them to hide one single jalapeno somewhere in the sandwich. On the busiest day they still stop the sandwich line and tell me to turn around so that I won't peak and see where they are hiding it. That usually gets a few sideways glances by the other sandwich shoppers. I don't know why it is but by the time I get to my seat and start eating I always forget about the pepper. It's always an interesting surprise.

I vote for Subway for my next lunch. Try it. You may fall under it's charms as well.
