There was some new guy working the counter at De Luca’s today. He seemed to be coping reasonably well, despite a little scrambling here and there. He seemed to be picking up quickly on one of the things I like about that place; when they don’t have bread behind the counter for sandwich use, they can always just go grab some off the sales shelves and use that instead. Pretty handy practice, especially when you really want rye bread for your corned beef sandwich, like I did today. Luckily, there weren’t any problems with the swiss cheese, horseradish, lettuce or slaw I was after too. I think he would have had a lot more trouble wrangling those ingredients.
