Not much of a Subway customer, it was the first time I encountered the term today. My sides still ache from laughing.

There is a Subway near the Savage Manse and I loathe the place. Here's a typical exchange:

Me: "I saw your ad for that Italian BMT and I'd like one just like in the ad"

Slack-jawed sandwich maker: "What would you like on it?"

Me: "I want one just like in the commercial"

Slack-jawed sandwich maker: "What would you like on it?"

Me: "Ummm... I don't know. The ad said 'Italian BMT. That's what I want"

Slack-jawed sandwich maker: "What would you like on it?"

Me: "Just give me a ham and cheese on whole wheat"

Slack-jawed sandwich maker: "What kind of cheese?"

Me: "Christ on a cracker! Can't you just make me a damn sandwich? It's not like we are married or anything. If I wanted to decide on all the components, I might as well just make it myself!"

Better than your stomach aching from eating it.
 
See, you have to think out of the box. The JAJ loves the Italian BMT and this is how it's done.

Me: I'll have the BMT, toasted, provo cheese, with everything but green peppers and cucumbers.

Girl with blinky eyes: 6 or 12inch.

Me: Your choice.


:cool:

Word. This is exactly how I order mine.
 
Italian BMT
12 inch Italian Herb and Cheese
Everything but olives, onions, and jalepenos - the jalepenos are TOO freaking bitter there
Provelone cheese

Doesn't take a genius to order.

When I eat fast food I don't want an ordering procedure. I go to Burger King, I get a Whopper. I go to Taco Bell, I get a taco. No complicated ordering process. If the ass-hats are going to advertise a sandwich, I shouldn't have to decide what's on it; I want the one they are advertising.

And who puts cucumbers on an Italian sub?

My son calls my BMT "antepasto on a bun"
 
One time, we were on the road, and a bunch of us went in to a subway in the middle of hicksville, and one of my friends ordered a sub on hearty Italian bread... he got it and sat down to eat it and it was stale. So he goes up and complains about the bread not being fresh, and the lady at the counter says in a country accent;

"but you ordered hearty (hard-y) Italian!"



She was a true "sandwich artist.

Come to think of it, she might have been related to jeninflorida/neverendingme.

Sometimes words are lost in translation in certain parts of the U.S.
 
When I eventually get back to work, I may be one of those "sandwich artists".

Fifty-something women (even well-educated ones) who are returing to the workforce after a long stint at home caring for a parent (or other) sometimes have little choice as to the kind of employment they are able to get.

Perhaps they are looking for a little dignity - people in the service industry are the most undervalued and under-appreciated people I know - yet they do jobs that some white collar type wouldn't even consider, being beneath their station and education.

More and more, these lowly-seeming but very important jobs are being given to immigrants and other marginalized folks, and these people are looked down at.

When the zombie apocolypse comes, I would rather have someone by my side who knows how to work hard, can swing a hammer or dig a ditch. YOur stock brokers and computer nerds will be little but zombie food.

You must be a joy in Starbucks.

That said, if all you want is a regular light roast, you order a tall blonde.

You've done your homework.
A man who knows exactly what he wants.

Impressive. :)

I like Subway. Sorta. I like two sammiches, the meatball and the steak and cheese. Don't really care about anything else they make.
 
Subway Restaurants is owned by Doctor's Associates. They called it that because one of the founders has a PhD in physics, and they thought it would be funny to fool people into thinking that their food was healthy.
