I hate the super high guy with a ponytail who makes my sandwiches at the Subway across the street and who can't seem to fucking remember to put spinach on it even though I have just said, "baby spinach please, " very loudly three times.

I hate him.

They have Spinach at Subway?

Ha! I love this post! And I hate that guy for you!

There's a sub shop in town I like to go to and I swear the requirements for employment must be tattooed, weird, and anti-social.

Once a guy who made my sandwich pretended he was a robot the whole time. He handed it to me with his arms all straight out and stiff and his eyes super wide. Jackass. And because I worked in the service industry for 15 miserable years I always,always tip--even when I shouldn't. I do the thing were I put the dollar in the jar beforehand in the hopes they'll be cool. Then they aren't and I'm tempted to pull a George Castanza and reach in there and pull the fucking thing back out!

I had a sandwich guy who would always pause while making my sandwich to tell me about Jared Diamond. To his credit, this was before everybody was reading Jared Diamond, and I had never heard of the guy, and he had some interesting things to say, but I wanted my goddamn sandwich. Hated that.

I figured it was because of something I'd said to him once, or a book I was carrying when I went in there, but I'm at a party, and somebody starts complaining about the same guy who won't stop talking about Jared Diamond. I realize it wasn't just me, he was doing this all day long to everybody.

David's way of the sub is easily my favorite blog post of all time.

I hate that this is the first guy I ever made out with.

I hate that this thread, combined with David the DD's blog, made me crave Subway so badly that I just walked down the street for a 6" tuna. It doesn't even faze me they mix it by hand.

Having worked at a Subway in my early twenties, there's several very good reasons why when I get the urge to eat there, I say "Veggie Cheese, Please".

[Amanda]

Oh, god. Should I go force myself to yak before I end up passed out on the sidewalk in front of my building???

that should be the title of one of those extravagantly prepared sandwiches.

is it only me who thinks Subway is just more than a little bit pornographic? The way your food is 'body temperature' warm, the way the fillings are fingered into your choice of loaf by leering assistants who want to 'get under the skin of your snackly desire', the sleazy luxury of the sauces.

I don't know why but I could imagine Subway setting up a franchise in one of those cheesy saucy sex-booth video parlours of ancient yore. Subway scares me more than it should. But they taste great.

I live in a state where nobody is interested in doing a good job. Everyone here treats their job like a high school student.... no concern. Imagine the moron behind the counter being your property tax assessor.. Yikes! doesn't begin to describe the emotions. This attitude has infected just about every industry in the state. Service forget about it. My cable provider.... I have cable about half the time. Every time there is a problem it takes them a week and a half to get someone here to fix it. Then they don't fix it and it takes another week to get them to come back, 2 weeks without cable. They always fix it the day before I go back to work. The worst part of all this is, they don't understand why I am so upset?! Maybe it is because I am from Chicago, or a military man, I don't know But I have high standards and they better shape up.

I generally avoid subway, but was forced to it yesterday and was reminded why I hate it...

I asked for spinach and this girl literally picked out the leaves ONE BY FUCKING ONE, removing their stems as she went. After she had put SEVEN---SEVEN!!!!---pieces of spinach on my sandwich she appeared ready to move on. I stood there speechless. "More spinach, please." I watched a repeat performance bringing my spinach count to 10. She pauses, smiles, waits for the next order. "No, I mean like a handful of spinach on there, please. I know this is the most green food you are going to handle in the next week, but that spinach is about the only nutritious thing you've placed on that mass produced hoagie, so load it up."

fuckin' a...
