Today, I decided to walk downtown to get a Jimmy Johns’ (gourmet sub shop) for lunch.\u00a0 Since I had a meeting at 12:30, I got headed out at 11 to beat the lunch time rush.<\/p>\n
When I got within a block of Jimmy Johns’ I noticed a crowd standing on the side walk.\u00a0 Since the sub shop is near the Capitol, I assumed that these were protestors of some sort.\u00a0 But, the closer that I got, I realized that the crowd went around the corner and on down the street.<\/p>\n
Well, as it turns out, these weren’t protestors, this was a line waiting to get into Jimmy Johns’!!\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 Once I realized that this was a line, I did a quick count.\u00a0 There were about 600 people\u00a0 by my count.\u00a0 And, they all had Jimmy Johns’ menus in their hands.<\/p>\n
Now, while I didn’t know where all of these people had come from, I did know that I didn’t have time to wait in line.\u00a0 So, I went on down the street.<\/p>\n
When I got back to work I mentioned the crowd to my co-workers.\u00a0 They told me that Jimmy Johns’ was running a one day special.\u00a0 They were selling some of their subs for only $1.<\/p>\n
While I can appreciate a “good deal”, I am not willing to wait in line for an hour.\u00a0 Besides, the subs that were on sale are not the ones that I would normally buy, sale or no sale.<\/p>\n
The Chinese buffet was very good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
