They Put It On A Plate

November 8, 2006

…Togo’s, that is. Went to Togo’s on Halloween, because we were downtown and hadn’t been there for a while.

“For here or to go?,” the sandwich-maker asked me. Usually this means the difference between a plastic tray and a bag.

“For here,” I said.

When my sandwich was ready, it was on a plate. Not a plastic plate, the real stuff. not wrapped in paper, because, honestly, if I’m going to eat it right there, why do you need to wrap it in paper, just so I have to go to the bother of unwrapping it? Huh, Subway? Huh, Quizno’s?

A thought posed by my wife: Starbucks shows coffee in actual mugs in the ads. Have you ever been served coffee in a Starbucks in an actual mug?

Didn’t think so.
