They say that "still waters run deep".    Those that know me will know that although Im quiet on the surface there is a lot going on underneath which most people don't see. I think deeply about issues and form my own opinions - sometimes I'm serious, and sometimes, its just for fun. Sadly it seems that many people dont think enough, and my opinions often catch them unaware...

Can't get a "foot long" sub at Subway

Every now and then I drop in to Subway on my way home to grab one of their sandwiches. I normally order a foot long sub, which in case you dont know Subway, is made on a 12 inch long bread roll. Its right there on their menu. They also make subs in a 6 inch version, as well.

Now, when I order something on a foot long roll, I expect it to be a foot long, but the geniuses at my local Subway (and probably yours too) cut it in half, every time, without so much as asking my preference, essentially making it two 6 inch rolls.

What's up with that?

I didnt ask for two 6 inch rolls, I asked for a foot long roll. If I ordered a large coffee, I wouldnt expect it to be served in two regular size cups, so why give me my sub that way?

Its just plain wrong. If I ordered two 6 inch subs it would cost me $3 more according to their price list, yet thats what I get for the cost of a foot long version. I bet if I ordered it the way they serve it, they'd charge me the extra three bucks.

Subway make great sandwiches. When you're looking forward to a nice big sandwich, its kind of dissapointing to end up with a couple of small ones.
