Sandwich Maker Uses Mayo, Mustard

Sandwich maker Jim Farnsworth makes sandwiches at a sandwich store in Claremont. He likes his job, he says, and enjoys making sandwiches.

Customers say nice things about Mr. Farnsworth. "I like the sandwiches," says Jessica Burton, a Claraboya resident. "The turkey is good."

This week, a COURIER reporter watched as Mr. Farnsworth made his sandwiches. He sometimes toasted the bread, and sometimes did not.

"It depends on what the customer wants," he says. "If the customer does not want to have toasted bread on his or her sandwich, we do not toast the bread. We give them the sandwich with the bread untoasted."
