Katie and I went to Subway tonight. You know, we thought a nice veggie delight sub would be just perfect after our power walk.
So we were standing in line, and some guy comes in. "You can go ahead of us," she told him.
To that he says, "Oh cool. I'm just getting some green peppers anyways."
We gave said guy a sideways glance as he scooted forward and requested a bag of peps. The sandwich artist dutifully filled a cookie bag with the peppers.
Then when he got to the register, the cashier/owner or manager was like, "That will be $1 (I'm not sure that is the right amount, but something like that)."
The guy goes, "Oh really? Well, I don't have any money. I've gotten these here like twice before and never had to pay."
"Well you pay now!"
"Alright, let me go out to my car."
So the guy goes out to scamper up some change, and the owner starts muttering under his breath about how annoying it is to always be giving that guy peppers.
Guy comes back in, pays for the peps, and leaves.
Now WHY was he buying peppers? Here are some possibilities:
-He worked at a restaurant near by that had run out of peppers.
-He was using them to get high some how.
-He was making stir-fry at home and had all the ingredients but green peppers.
-He forgot to buy peppers at the store, and he remembered right when he was passing Subway.
-He is poor and thought that peppers were free, so he figured he could only afford to eat free Subway peppers.
Now those may seem like valid reasons, but for most of them, it would make more sense just to get peppers at Kroger, which is the next block over. Plus, what are the odds that some of those would happen 3 times (cause he said he went twice before). I mean, a cookie bag full of peppers would not be sufficient to feed a nights worth of clientele at most restaurants, plus this guy was not wearing a restaurant uniform (he was dressed in a patterned black hoodie and baggie jeans while he wore his hair in a side swept emo style). I am genuinely stumped. Please let me know if you have any theories!!
