Wouldn’t you know it? Just yesterday I wrote about Obama’s visit to Tastee Subs in the neighboring town of Edison. Today I visited their sister store for some subs.
I was to meet Pam for lunch in the park today and I planned on bringing some non-sub sandwiches from Rufino’s Deli. (They’re not online AFAICT – I should work on that.) But Rufino’s was closed.
Running a little late now, I piloted the motorcycle down 27 south to the Tastee Subs in Franklin Park. They were open
Today, of course, is the day Obama’s scheduled to visit the Edison store. The line of customers at the Franklin Park store stretched out the door and across the front of the building. It’s a bigger store than Edison, has bigger parking lot, too. Seldom are lines there so intense.
I passed the time with the other folks waiting on the line. It felt good when the staff greeted me – I’m a regular – and I enjoyed congratulating them on their day in the sun. I picked up my subs and soda, paid the bill and grabbed a few napkins on my way out the door. The line had grown even longer. I fired up the bike and hit the road.
The subs were superb, as usual. (They seemed like just might have been stuffed with a little extra meat.) Like I said yesterday, I’m glad Tastee Subs was chosen for the presidential visit. I hope the surge in customer traffic I saw today continues.
