Dear Met Market,
Although unassuming in shape, cost-effective and green, the cucumber should be considered, at best, as one option among many for your recipes. Salads, sandwiches, wraps..heck, even sushi. It can provide the crunch and refreshing blast that, I don’t know..someone must really enjoy – perhaps often.
That being said, I would like to personally tell the guy in charge of the sushi over there at Met Market to stop putting cucumber in all the sushi rolls hand-prepared there each day. Groundbreaking idea: substitute avocado, or just leave it out! If you must keep putting cucumber in there, then don’t be so grumpy when we ask you to make custom rolls.
It looks neat having the production in plain sight, but we might expect something from you on occasion, being that you are so accessible.
Thank you.
Unassuming in shape?
Yeah, I have to agree that the perceived accessibility of that guy behind the counter causes a lot of frustration. I’ve nearly caused a scene on a few occasions after being told “no” or blatantly ignored. And although I don’t share the kind of hatred you tend to have for cucumbers, having avocado substituted for that has always felt kinda cheap and wrong. For the way Met Market brands itself, I expect more from them.
Yes, unassuming in shape. Why? Are you intimidated by the shape of a cucumber?
All I’m asking is that they make a couple with no cucumber here and there. It just doesn’t seem like too much to ask. Especially if they don’t want to be bothered! Put out better options and we’ll leave you alone.
Listen, I’ve got the pitchforks and the torches and apparently you’ve got the anger; shall I fly out tonight? I’ve got the perfect places for him to put all those unassumingly shaped cucumbers.
You’re right. Tsunami is their own animal, but if they are operating inside Met Market, then I expect them to be under the direction of Met Market.
It is true that this problem exists at every grocery store sushi bar. Cucumber parties just seem to be the way of the market sushi! It’s a cryin’ shame. Oh well, I just don’t buy. Prime rib sandwiches are way better anyway.
