The Everyday Gourmet

I ordered delivery from here through Silver Spoon. Everything I ordered was great. I had a tuna melt, spinach salad, butternut squash soup, and potato salad. After I received the food, I realized i ordered too much – but that’s okay. I’ll just save half for dinner. Everything was prepared wonderfully and the ingredients were all top quality. Can’t wait to try more items. I’m not sure how I’ve missed this place…

You Guys. Today I ditched.
I have never in my life done something like that and I struggled with whether or not to do it but ultimately I had to. I hadn’t paid yet, and while my sandwich was being made I had a real internal struggle with what to do, so I turned around and quickly scooted out the door.
Here is what happened:
I placed my order at the cash register and stepped to the side to wait. While standing to the side, the person that took my order received payment and handed off lunch to two different guests. After he finished serving the others he turned around to the «sandwich station» and proceeded to make my deli style sandwich. He reached up to grab the roll and started slicing the deli meat. Without gloves. Without washing his hands. I watched carefully, horrified, thinking maybe I missed it, maybe he DID wash his hands. But as I glanced around, I didn’t see a sink within a reasonable distance for me to have missed it. At this point my internal dialog is like this: OMG what am I gonna do? What do I do?
I am not one for confrontation and I was incredibly uncomfortable and lets be real… freaking out. So I did what I could. And that was spin around, run out the door and get the heck out of there. Was it the right thing to do? Probably not. I probably should have said something. But even had I mentioned it and asked for him to remake the sandwich, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the sandwich because I would have been thinking about what happened before I stepped into the store, during prep time.
I’d like to think this was a onetime incident but either way, I can’t go back.

Great little place with good food a little costly but good things aren’t cheap and cheap things aren’t good is my Motto
