The Passion Of The Crust.

A very famous actor came into the cafe today and refused to sit in the High Priority area where everyone could see him.

Reluctantly, I seated him at a table in the far corner of the cafe usually reserved for less attractive, unknown patrons.

After taking his order for a toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich, the New Girl informed him that he was her favourite Old Man Actor and took a photo of him with her phone.

I sent her on an extended break and ran to the kitchen to supervise the making of the HCT, which he had requested on rye bread with the crusts removed.

All other orders were put on hold as I worked with the kitchen staff to produce the best crustless toasted sandwich this man had ever eaten. I did my best to act casual as I took it to his table, and told him that if he moved to a table by the window he could have the sandwich for free.

He refused, and I cursed these A list Hollywood stars who shun the spotlight.

Determined to recover the money I spent watching his last film, I retrieved the discarded crusts from the bin and placed the following ad on eBay;

Genuine Hollywood Crusts.
Used to make sandwich for Mad Max.
