Am in a terrific time crunch getting ready for an event this afternoon. Have to get to another pickup at noon in downtown Santa Barbara, after dropping sandwiches off back home. I'm 10 minute drive away. Gave them 10 extra minutes to assure quick pickup. Arrived 11:15 to see none of the sandwiches started, just bread laid out. Then the owner/manager, not sure which, is delivering a sandwich to a table outside... he's not working on our order, having delegated that to his employee. Just my order and the table of 2 outside at this point. Then he delivers a second sandwich to the outside table. Then another guy arrives, orders a bunch of bagle somethings, and the owner/manager is working on the new order, not helping his employee with my order now going on 15 minutes late. Then the owner delivers a third sandwich, to go, to the table of 2, still not helping his employee with my prior order. Next, the owner finishes working on the bagle order, hands it to the fellow, and out he walks with his order, made after I had arrived to pick up mine. In the meantime, my order is still not completed, and he's not helping his poor employee who knows the order is 25 minutes late and is feeling stress.Like I said, great sandwiches, terrible decision making by the owner/manager (not sure which) to work on other orders that came in after mine, and deliver those orders, while I'm standing around for 15 minutes, 25 minutes after the promised pickup time, wondering if I now have time to deliver the sandwiches and get to downtown Santa Barbara by noon..
