Hobson’s Sandwiches

(I am a Canadian tourist on vacation.)

Subshop Worker: “Hi, welcome to [Sandwich Shop]. What can I get you?”

Me: “Hi, I’ll get a foot-long meatball sub.”

Subshop Worker: “Sorry, we don’t have meatballs right now.”

Me: “Umm… Okay, I’ll get a foot-long cold cut.”

Subshop Worker: “What bread?”

Me: “Italian herbs and cheese.”

Subshop Worker: “We only have Italian right now.”

Me: “Then Italian it is I guess.”

Subshop Worker: “What cheese?”

Me: *annoyed from my first two issues where he asked instead of informing me they were out* “Swiss.”

Subshop Worker: “We only have provolone right now.”

Me: “Do I really have a choice?!”

(I finished my order with no more problems until a casual conversation started as to where I was from. He then had the nerve to insult the Canadian Health Care system!)
