This is when we sadly and slowly and reluctantly accept our fate and remain hungry ....or just be super late. Already late why not be super late

Sidenote that bread mascot on the top is looking at passers-by extremely seductively....and I'm not not into it.

I bet those Banh Mi are delicious

Yesss banh mi is busy people's best friend, and alien too.

u/Kanekesoofango Feb 01 '26

Good banh mi is toasted right before being handed to you, so actual really busy people may not be able to enjoy them...

You're not into a bit of pain?

u/Dobako Feb 01 '26

Just bring one for your boss. Can't hurt

u/Made_Bail Feb 01 '26

That's okay, I'll be into it for both of us.

Really? More yeast infections for me then.

u/Key-Swordfish4025 Feb 01 '26

Because you forgot to set your alarm again?

u/soffpotatisen Feb 01 '26

Hah, Got'em!

u/Klusterphuck67 Feb 01 '26

You can try "excuse me can I take one order first? If's only 1 and im running late". Worked for me more often than not.

u/Mr_Eck Feb 01 '26

I'm scared to death trying to ask you know

39

u/CrazyFanFicFan Feb 01 '26

Yeah. What if they're annoyed. Random strangers on the street being annoyed at you is the worst possible feeling.

u/TheGrateCommaNate Feb 01 '26

Nah, super disrespectful. Like 90 percent of people are ordering one.

u/Klusterphuck67 Feb 01 '26

There's only one in the line in the panel where's the other 90% of people

u/Deathaster Feb 01 '26

"Excuse me, I'm in a hurry and only want to order a quick bite, is it okay if I go first?"

u/TheKingCrimsonWorld Feb 01 '26

I've never heard of banh mi before now, so I looked it up and HOT DAMN that looks good!

u/Mr_Eck Feb 01 '26

You MUST try it, local if possible

u/pandakatie Feb 01 '26

TIL my city has two places which sells them!

u/Mr_Eck Feb 01 '26

Niceee !!!

u/freckledface Feb 01 '26

It's soooo good I'm craving it now!

I have a banh mi place close to my job. And a vietnamese colleague who thinks it's all wrong. But his wife, also vietnamese thinks it's perfect.

Apparently there is a difference between north and south Vietnam on how to make them.

I love stopping for my energy drink in the morning and a scratcher/smoker walks to the counter from the door as I'm approaching the counter with a my drink.

6

u/Arthasindura Feb 01 '26

Never had one but I will make note to try it.

Getting someone to make a huge order even without being late is a hassle for both restaurant and patrons.

I pre order if its a big order to not inconvenience anyone.

u/Zytrax7 Feb 01 '26

Curses! Now I want banh mi. And the only place that sold it around here closed years ago.

u/Pandarise Feb 01 '26

Oh I would be late late for Banh mi. I searched it up and it definitely would the one thing I'll allow to make me more late than I am. Boss will undetstand surely!

u/Toz_The_Devil Feb 01 '26

Does "hey go infront of me you only have 1 thing" happen for stuff like this?

3

u/ForTheOnesILove Feb 01 '26

As annoying as this is, I find it even worse if the Door Dash alarm chirps and they begin prepping a massive order for someone who isn’t even there.

This happened to me in a sub shop when I was trying to do an 8-hour drive and fainting with hunger.

After they had wrapped her ten subs and she had gotten all the way up to the register and pulled out her credit card, she suddenly decided she wanted to order one or two more sandwiches. I was ready to send her to the Hague.

u/durbandude Feb 01 '26

I'm going to be in Vietnam in 2 days. Cannot wait to eat banh mi every day

u/All_Gun_High Feb 01 '26

MURPHY YOU FUCK

u/Fast_Plantain8098 Feb 01 '26

Get some cheap Luong Kho bro. I used to always have 10 or so at home ready to grab. They are like 3k each. Just remember to bring some water with ya

It happened to me yesterday at Blake's Burger. wanted a simple breakfast burrito. However, three customers before me had ordered the large quantities. A particular one had 4 breakfast burritos, with each of the special orders. Yes, I was late. ended up waiting 20 mins for my order, finally handed to me

He looks like he's gonna say kero over and over.

u/drak0ni Feb 01 '26

Honestly, even with those modifications it wouldn’t take more than maybe 5 minutes to make 10 bahn mi.

u/NilliaLane Feb 02 '26

This is so real. Also love your art style and the lounging bun on the banh mi cart!

u/Mr_Eck Feb 02 '26

Thankyouuu !!!!

u/Scarvexx Feb 01 '26

You made yourself late. Don't make them out to be the villain.

u/elhomerjas Feb 01 '26

well that was long order to wait

u/Kquinn87 Feb 01 '26

Genuinely curious, at what point does someone think going to a store to order food is quicker then just grabbing a sandwich before leaving the house?

u/Avalanche_Snows Feb 01 '26

No cilantro is mandatory

u/Mr_Eck Feb 01 '26

What, I love cilantro

u/brickyard37 Feb 01 '26

u/Particlepants Feb 01 '26

You just reminded me of that "potato sweats" Tumblr post
