07/04/2008 - Subpar: Eat Flesh!
Posted in Uncategorized by: Warlach
Another day where a quick, cheap sandwich from Subway seemed like a good idea, and another day where I left the store baffled and enraged.
(Please stand by, this rant has been coming for awhile.)
1. The smell. Why must it smell like you’re drowning in the breath of a thousand toddlers who have each returned from the Easter Show? Worse still is when you realise the thick, sugary scent is caused by the bread, so laced with crap, that you may as well make your sandwich between two Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
2. The ingredients. You know what, I don’t care how fresh it is, if it’s been sitting all day in the sweaty little tubs, it’s no fresher than something Maccas defrost 30 seconds before you order it. I’m not saying Maccas is good, but let’s not lie to ourselves.
3. The carrot conspiracy. When they came for the beetroot I said nothing because I wasn’t a beetroot eater, but now they have removed carrot from the menu. Where will the madness end? I say we will go this far and no farther. If not for your own toppings, but for your children’s, and your children’s children’s toppings. When you reach into your friends sandwich and it’s a pile of lettuce… Forget it Jake, it’s Subwaytown…
So, arise ye lunchers from your slumber, arise ye prisoners of take-away, together we’ll raise our plastic forks and at last ends the age of Subway!
*ahem*
4. And the final grievance, the cutting. Every single time I go to Subway, and get a foot long sub, I ask them to NOT cut it in half. Every time they smile and nod, and every single time the very next thing they do is cut it! I know this is a small thing, really, but this draws of up the wall more than anything else.
*Sigh*
It feels so much better to get that off my chest!
