one where i have has an alcohol section.. they don't carry sake,
no more. used to have a wonderous sake ensemble. i wonder what
happened? because the popularity for it has not diminished... i
mean when i was there, 2 more asked!

then the persons at the "resolutions center" were like... "there's
no demand" we were all like "huh?"

the head scratching commensed.

our sushi counter is about a mile away from the people who used to
service the sushi counter... they're behind the deli counter now...
you must take a number... you wait.. wait.... wait... wait.... no
one else is there.. so there you stand looking like an idiot with a
number... dumbubmbubmbuddeeeedumm!

then i ask.. 'where's the sushi counter' woman behind the counter
goes... 'where the sammiches are' then points weakly over my
head...

took me 6 or more min. to find this 'sammich counter'.

it was a mess! looked as if someone sneezed all over it or a
hurrican breezed by.... amazing... it's like you can feel the push
happening that very moment... the push that is going to extinguish
the sushi ideal all together.

'shrugs'.


amazing.

i love the tuna sandwiches that are really hastily made with a.....
$8 price tag to go with it! holy cow!
