I
was
passing
through
Thames
on
the
30th
of
Dec
with
a
party
of
6
looking
for
brunch
options.
As
it
turned
out,
most
cafes
were
only
offering
cabinet
food,
so
we
decided
that
we
would
eat
fresh
and
go
for
the
usually
reliable
subway.
First
impressions
of
the
store
were
like
any
of
the
other
franchises,
minus
the
self
service
soda
machine.
The
smell
of
freshly
baked
bread
roused
the
senses
and
had
me
excited
for
what
was
to
come.
I
was
served
by
a
young
lady
in
her
early
twenties,
accompanied
by
an
older
women
also
working
behind
the
counter.
Team
morale
appeared
to
be
pretty
low.
I
decided
to
opt
for
my
usual
foot
long
Italian
herbs
with
3
pepper
chicken,
cheddar
cheese,
toasted,
the
works,
topped
off
with
chipotle
sauce.
On
this
day
I
thought
I
would
treat
myself
to
avocado
as
I
knew
I
would
need
the
sustenance
going
into
a
big
2
nights
over
new
years.
Upon
ordering
the
avocado,
the
young
lady
said
she
would
need
to
replenish
it,
and
went
out
back
to
fetch
more
of
the
“fresh”
avocado.
I
waited
for
5
minutes,
as
customers
behind
me
in
the
line
careered
onto
salad
selections,
while
my
toasted
sub
and
chicken
cooled
off
waiting
for
their
counterparts
to
be
added.
Finally
the
avo
had
been
found,
and
I
was
delighted
to
be
served
with
a
generous
portion
of
the
avocado.
No
cookie,
no
drink,
tap,
and
I
was
dining
in.
When
I
opened
the
sub,
the
contents
spilled
onto
the
wrapping
paper,
not
a
problem
I
thought
and
stuffed
the
fillings
back
into
the
herby,
room
temperature
toasted
bread.
My
first
bite
certainly
didn’t
deliver
as
my
pallet
was
hit
the
polarising
warm
chicken
and
frozen
avocado.
I
took
another
bite
which
reconfirmed
that
the
avocado
paste
was
as
fresh
as
a
fruju
from
the
local
dairy.
Maybe
an
off
day
from
the
team
but
a
disappointing
experience.
