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.

Today really sucked

No really. It did.

It started with the driver of the 393 bus on my way to work this morning, and didnt let up until I got home.

First there was the bus driver that let my girlfriend on to the bus, and then promptly closed the doors as I moved to follow her. I ran down to the next stop since he got stuck in the traffic waiting for the lights to change, and even though I got there before he did, he went right past me. Many thanks to the driver of the 395 ahead of him who saw this and waited for me even though I had waved him on so I could catch the 393 at the second stop.

Then there was the guy at work who thinks that localhost is a good name for a DNS listed machine with a real IP address. Ive wasted 3 days trying to get localhost to resolve to 127.0.0.1. How this guy got to be the DNS admin for the USA region of my global employers network is beyond me. Thankfully the Australian DNS admin had a clue, and fixed it.

Later, there was the pedantic little security guard who told me that despite being outdoors in a rather large open area, at least fifty feet from the nearest building and far from the nearest non-smoker, that I had to move about 20 feet further on to the tiny "designated smoking area" in the corner. I guess some people need to excercise what little power they have in order to feel important.

Finally there was the guy who implemented my change request the way he thought it should be done, rather than how I specified it should be done, without advising me. It was a simple scheduling change. He told me that I couldnt tell him how I want my jobs to be scheduled because the scheduling package was his toy, and that I should just tell him what I want scheduled and leave the rest to him. He didnt want to hear why I asked for them to be scheduled the way I did, and finally hung up on me when I asked him to send his response to me in writing.

Just thought I'd share.
