NFT: Why do some sandwich places insist on....

lawguy9801 : 9/17/2014 1:29 pm
....putting lettuce and tomatoes on your sandwich even when you don't ask for it? If I wanted a salad, I'd eat a salad.

There was a place in my town where I grew up where, if you said you wanted a cold cut sandwich, unless you affirmatively told them not to, they would put lettuce, tomatoes and mustard on it.

Why???

Subway doesn't do this.

I wholeheartedly agree ...

happens to me more often than not and that's after they ask me a 2nd time too. If only they defaulted by putting fresh mozz and roasted red peppers on every sandwich, that I wouldn't be unhappy with.

Good call.
I had a place put pickles...  
UAGiant : 9/17/2014 1:42 pm : link
On a meatball sub.

I didn't realize it until I got back to the office and bit in and thought the meat was rancid or the sauce turned on my first taste.

It was a local joint that was suggested by everyone when I was in that area for business. Apparently the place is known for their pickles, which they seem to think belong on everything.

When asked, I pretended it was fine, but a lesson was learned that day - never ask for pizza or deli suggestions if you're not in the Northeast. Bite the bullet, buy mediocre chain food and move on.
I can't think of a place I go to

Most items are on a menu....the menu states what is included in the meal.....to change it, you have to speak up....
Some places just have rules.

My wife once ordered a BLT and it came without lettuce. When we mentioned it to the waitress she said "we ran out of lettuce". Um you think you may have mentioned that when ordering, I mean lettuce is kind of crucial part of a BLT sandwich. When I mentioned this to her, she looked at me with a blank stare obviously it not sinking in.

Josh in the City : 9/17/2014 2:40 pm : link
there some sandwich places that slice chicken breast (grilled or cutlet) for a sandwich instead of just putting on the whole breast? Why would anyone prefer pieces of chicken on their sandwich instead of the nice full moist breast?

WTF? Now it's four different creatures? A baby...a neanderthal...a Sasquatch...and a gorilla fuckhead (what the hell is that...is it like a BBI frequenting gorilla?).

Probably to keep their food cost down by using less chicken.

They don't just ask you for lettuce and tomoato, but they ask if you want the works (you do).

always on a cols sammy for me but never on a hot. The smell at every Subway is the same: wet meat. Recently tried Jersy mikes subs: meh and surprisingly $.

Jersey Mike's Vs Subway  
Trainmaster : 9/17/2014 5:28 pm : link
first, any sandwich from a good "Mom & Pop" deli, especially one on the East Coast, blows away any franchise sandwich shop.

Getting that out of the way, after eating at Jersey Mike's, I'll never go back to Subway unless I have no choice. The fresh bread and freshly cut cold cuts at Jersey Mike's taste infinitely better to me than Subway.
Subway is appalling  
UConn4523 : 9/17/2014 5:30 pm : link
just horribly bad. Low quality meat sitting in bins all day. How can anyone eat that crap? I'd rather just get a burger and fries at McDonald's, atleast it's cooked.

KeoweeFan : 9/17/2014 6:16 pm : link
for a few years to startup and manage their subshops. That contract ran out but I still stop at a Wegmans if I can when driving north (say in Williamsport). I say the quality is close to Jersey Mikes (in most stores, but I had a horrible sub last year in the Henrietta Wegies)

Is why in a place like Manhattan, any sentient person would patronize a Subway. I have yet to ever step foot in a non-horrid Subway.

wrong, whole in the wall places are what make this country great, and travel within it an adventure. i quote clark w. griswold - "if everything were just like home rus, there'd be no reason to ever leave it."
