I walked into the deli on Wednesday, aiming for a sub. There was James, standing behind the counter. I greeted him; he approached the counter, and I awaited a response. But nothing came. He just quietly, and slowly, donned his gloves, maintaining eye contact. That's when I thought, "Should I skip the pleasantries and place my order?" So, I did—after an odd, one-minute staring contest.
Throughout the sandwich-making process, I paid close attention to his mouth, wondering if he was just quiet and I wasn't listening closely enough. Turns out, he was speaking—in the loosest sense of the word. He barely opened his mouth; you'd miss it if you blinked, wouldn't hear it if you breathed. It was hilarious yet super weird.
The sandwich was fire, but now I'm torn: do I return for another laugh at James's expense, or avoid the deli to escape the super awkward encounter?
Update: I went back! This time my GF was in line to order a sub, I approached, and what did my eyes see?… Mothafu@&in’ James! Not only was he there, but he was talking his head off to a customer, and not only that, he was asking her when he'd see her again… This guy was setting up a date!… The sandwich was 🔥.

Store was being stocked because I was there extremely early in the morning. However everyone spoke and was very nice. Didn't mind me shopping around. The deli and bakery had a wonderful selection. Meat was very nice cut. Cashier was very friendly. One suggestion please turn on your cash register light so I can figure out which one to go too. Want sure where to check out and she was helping with something so not immediately at the register. But this store was great. Wish we had one where I lived.
