Even the name still does it for me
(10 August 2009)
by: Luke
I think everyone remembers his first time setting foot in Fresh. It's like the first kiss, the first breath a baby takes after his plucking from the womb, the first keg-change for young barmen. Fresh! The name itself sounds radiant and exciting, though a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. To compare Fresh and its friendly staff to Centra, Londis or any of the other scum on the market is to compare gay sex to heterosexual sex. Fresh is like something out of a movie, as they say in America.
Where to begin? Fresh has everything: a pleasant cafe with an attractive waitress that boasts a rum-and-chocolate biscuit cake, a warm and welcoming off-licence and a great roll deal. The probably-Pakistani secuirty expert is a brilliant touch. At once jovially plump and masterful at shop defence, he is also a creepy womaniser who loves pint-sized boozin' clientele. Some would say he just wants to be loved, and that is what makes Fresh such a brilliant opportunity for a novel or movie. He is its tragedy. One suspects he locks up at night and cries into the bald cashier's shoulders. It would all be very suitable for an Irish reworking of The Mist, with him as the main character.
Speaking of the bald man, he hasn't had a drink since the recession and likes to ramble on to customers about gin and his grandmother's addiction to it. The Irish cashiers are so cool you'd almost like to invite them for a pint, and the Spanish guy knew where I work. The girls are generally really good-looking or so "shop next door" that you grow to love them. The prices are brilliant. That refers to the products in the shop, not the girls.
They sell ice. It's already frozen so you don't have to worry about any preparation.
Luke would recommend. Luke would use again.
