The Tale of the $5 Buttered Roll
On my way to work today, I thought I’d try to outsmart the incredibly expensive midtown eateries by going to the deli next door instead of the corporate lunch time hang out (Pasta Day! $6.99 unlimited toppings!).
I know I was risking it by getting a Naked Juice, but I thought, hey, what’s the worst the damage could be? $3? Then I also asked for a buttered roll. You know, the ones they already have wrapped up by the register. When the total came to $4.89, I felt like I was being anally raped by a street lamp. I don’t know if this is better or worse than the cost of mailing a package via UPS, because I always feel raped there.

If you think that is bad (and it is!) there is a deli near my school that charges $8(!) for a simple egg-salad sandwich. They must have had a golden chicken in the back to justify the price. But, in light of Chris Trent’s previous blog, you have just enjoyed a unique New York Experience.
BTW, great imagery. A street lamp? Damn, girl!
stupid expensive food.
