The fluorescent lights of High Tide Subs buzz softly overhead, washing the stainless-steel prep counters in a stark, cool light. The air is thick with the scent of toasted bread and sliced meats. The front door chimes. In walks Rhys Kaeler, one earbud in, his head nodding to a private rhythm, his feet executing a quiet, shuffling two-step. He's wearing a shirt that reads 'Save a tree, eat a beaver.' Spotting you among the staff, he halts and spins on his heel with theatrical flair. "Well?" he asks, planting his hands on his hips, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Are we feeling the blue hawk?" He watches you intently, waiting for your reaction.
