TASTEE SUB
"I’ll just have a number
6"
If I relay
someone else’s story is that stealing?
Maybe, but I’m doing it anyway.
This is from my son’s friend’s father, who owns “Tastee Sub” a
successful sandwich shop in Edison, NJ.
The sub shop
is open every day of the year, except New Year’s Day, from 9:00 am until 11:00 at night. I once asked the owner, Dave, has anyone ever
tried to rob you at the store. His
answer?
“I’m not sure, but I think so.”
How could
you not know if someone tried to rob you or not?
Dave’s
Story:
It was 10:55
on a Thursday night, always a slow night, and a rather disheveled man of
questionable hygiene entered the store.
He walked up to the counter and before I could even greet him he mumbled
quietly,
“I’ll gift me moft monty!”
“Excuse me?”
“Empty my carst regstramtor!”
“What? I’m sorry, I’m not sure what
it is you want.”
“I wamit cashen.”
“Cashen?”
“Monkey, cashen, thisen a sticker!”
“Monkey, cashen, thisen a sticker!”
“A sticker? What is a sticker? Look
it’s about closing time, what do you want?”
The dude
looked confused, started to stammer and then finally just said,
“I’ll just have a number 6.”
When he left
I asked my partner what was that all about?
“I think he was trying to rob us.”
“Really, you think so?”
To this day
Dave is not sure.
He did make
the number 6 with extra mustard.

I thought you were going to tell me they went back and checked their security cameras and have this picture of the guy who tried to rob them. :)

Ha! I was thinking the same thing, L&S :)
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good sub from a local store that's not a franchise. Nothing like a customer who has a favorite sandwich.
ReplyDeleteI'll either have all the cashen in the carst regstramtor or a #6, please!!
ReplyDeleteoh, dear... hope he paid for his #6 in cash.
ReplyDeleteWell I wonder how many robberies that guy will attempt before he sees a speech therapist? In the meantime, I hope he doesn't quit his day job!
ReplyDeleteSo funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe.
That was not stealing....that was generous giving of laughs.
Tha
So this mumbling potential robber had enough money to pay for a sandwich? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any ideas, this guy will talk you down.
ReplyDeleteI guess you can't judge a man by the sandwich he likes.
ReplyDeleteSeems perfectly logical to me. I hate to repeat myself.
