I have a coworker who
once called the Coffee Pot's soup "the worst swill I have ever
had--somewhere between snot and what I imagine liquid Tide might taste
like." I can't claim that as a direct quote, but it's in the
ballpark. He then pulled back from his original statement and claimed
that it was one particular soup he had there that was horrendous and
that everything else has been wonderful. I, personally, do not believe
in soup. I mean, I think it should exist, but only when trying to
cure a cold or when it's topped in cheese with bread floating in it,
or thick as cream and filled with clams and octagonal crackers. Soup
isn't a meal. Period. That in mind, I opted for some sort of chicken
wrap during my one visit to this place, and I've been sorry ever since.
It has turned into a war of wills, all based on a stale sandwich and
my confusion over people's love of liquid lunch. Imagine, if you will,
a somewhat shabby Starbucks serving what appear to be day-old sandwiches
from Eli's and soups that can apparently turn their biggest supporter--if
only for one day--into a fucking blubbering dissenter. [MF] |
