My Larry David Subway Moment

    There's also a rhythm to ordering the extras.....generally two at a time, and the two should be close together in the bins.

    "Lettuce and tomato" (then as the last tomato slice is being placed) "pickles and olives" (as the last olives fall) "cucumbers and banana peppers...."

    Whaa is wrong with these people when you get a meatball sandwich. I've had this happen at Subway and Por O Subs.
    I order the sandwich. The person goes through the usual: What size? White or wheat? Mayo and mustard?
    What did you just ask me?
    Did you just ask me if I wanted mayo and mustard on my meatball sandwich?
    What is wrong with you?

    Amen - timing is very important. Definitely lettuce and tomato are the first instruction when you hit the veggie section. You have to be vigilant though of brown lettuce.

    I find that banana peppers have to be a singular instruction.

    The best subs come from the deli at Publix.

    That is part of problem. No options should be allowed on meatball subs. . This really would protect people from themselves.

    A word of caution as you work your way down sandwich counter. Be on the lookout for a crackback block from suburban mother just off the tennis court, racing in while talking on her cell phone. Her Land Rover is double parked and she has 2 minutes before she has to pick up little Johnny at his Chinese cooking class and little Brittany at soccer.

    I was able to fend off one absent minded blond last week with my elbow. I know of at least 2 people who ended up with torn ACL's while shepherding their bologna sandwichs through the mill.

    Good stuff, except the son's name is Colton. Only the bourgeoisie name their sons such old-school names.

    It kills me when they advertise the hell out of some new sandwich, then when you order it they ask what you want on it.

    Doesn't it have specific ingredients, per the commercial?

    Nah - in my area it's "Johnny" - it's a bow to the common man.

    "Hey Achmed turn around and look at the 7 foot color poster on your wall. That is how I want my sandwich made. How would I know how to make it?"

    This is a great thread if you are a jockey trying to make weight.

    Subways are not built for Jockeys. You need to be able to see the counter.
