In the sun-scorched high desert along Interstate 10 in Texas, where the horizon seems to stretch into infinity, lies a sandwich shop that's more than just a pit stop. It's an oasis of gastronomic delight, but today, it became the backdrop for an event as rare as rain in these parts - a NASA lander being transported on a big rig pulled in, turning the mundane into the extraordinary.
At the heart of this unexpected cosmic encounter was the shop's counter, manned by a young, sharp-witted local. His banter was as precise as a surgeon's scalpel, slicing through the day's monotony with quips sharp enough to cut through the thickest of sandwich bread. "What's the special for an astronaut?" he jested to the truck driver, "A sandwich with a side of stars?"
His sandwiches, much like his humor, were crafted with an artisan's touch. Each bite was a revelation; the bread, toasted to a golden crisp, cradled fillings that danced the line between innovation and tradition. From the 'Galactic Gobble', a turkey and cranberry fusion that was out of this world, to the 'Martian Melt', a grilled cheese that could warm the coldest Martian night, his creations were nothing short of stellar.
In this place, where the road meets the sky, you could feel the potential in the air - not just from the lander headed to the stars but from the young man behind the counter. Here's to hoping that his wit and sandwiches propel him to a future as bright and boundless as the desert sky he serves under.
For travelers, this stop is more than refueling; it's a reminder of human potential, served with a side of...
Read moreby far the worst subway i’ve ever order from. first i waited over half an hour in line with only 4 people ahead of me, then when it was finally my turn the guy who was nice helped me but had to go into the back then this old lady worker came out and saw me in line then skipped me and helped the person behind me, then she tried to do it a second time and i called her out. she proceeded to argue with me and and swear at me before storming off. the service was so bad the male employee gave me the sandwich completely free. subway needs to evaluate the employees they have working at their stores. this lady was rude and unqualified to work in customer service and should be fired. she could at least apologize for skipping me twice but instead insults me and swears at me. please terminate this lady’s position and hire someone who knows what they’re doing. the male worker did a good courteous thing by giving it to me for free. but that old lady needs to be fired ASAP, will not be returning here ever again if that old lady is still here, and caution all others...
Read moreI was one of two people in the restaurant and I walked in and was looking at the menu before I walked to the other end to look there as well and place my order, when I was rudely interrupted by the employee behind the counter telling me the line started “on the other end and that’s where i needed to be”…. In which I replied that I was looking at the menu and since there was an obvious problem with that, I would remove myself all together. I had several people to feed and didn’t know what I wanted for myself. I wasn’t in anyones way, no where near the counter and standing behind the one and only other customer in the store. The only thing I have found driving from Memphis to Laredo and from Laredo to Van Horn so far that is bigger in Texas is the bad attitudes of people obviously because they have to work. It obviously didn’t hurt her feelings that she didn’t have to make my 6 foot long subs but it should hurt subways cause that’s $70+ they didn’t make. Get workers who enjoy their jobs and don’t take it out on the...
