My daughter and I hauled over to Quiznos for lunch. On Saturdays, kids meals are 99 cents. More importantly, it’s about 20 Celsius in Washington and perfect day for eating on Quiznos’ outdoor tables.
Humph. We found the tables filled with cigarette smokers, unexpected by-product of their being pushed outdoors to huff and puff. I’ve got to say, there’s something disgusting about holding a smoke in one hand and a sub in the other. Anyway, we retreated indoors, while the smokers staked claim to the best tables; revenge, probably even unintentional, for their outcast status, as in pushed outside to puff their habit. Cruel their position might be during the winter cold or summer balm, they get the best seats around each Solstice.
Still, we delightfully dined. I topped off my cup with Diet Mountain Dew before exiting. Quiznos rocks because it does Dew.
