Subway and Art?
Posted by baconbach on March 23, 2009
This is part one of my two part Subway comment.
Big brother worked for subway for a long time and I recall quite well that he was a “Sandwich Artist”. I am pretty sure it used to be right on the name tags under the name. What the frak happened them?
Personally, I think they quit being artists when they changed the way they cut the bread. I think it also goes without saying that I do not have to list ALL the advantages of the old way. (I will gladly list them if you ask) I used to wonder if anyone besides me any more even remember the old way they cut the bread? It was the best! It clearly gave them the edge over all the other sandwich places.
For the last few years when I ask for them to cut it the old way the workers just look at me like im stupid. When I try to explain it they just don’t get it and say “I didn’t even know there was an old way”. (that is a real quote from a nameless Subway employee) Really kid? Yes there was an old way– it tasted better, looked better, and pull up your pants!
But I digress. I tdidn’t mean for this to turn into a rant like Denis Leary in lock and load. The point of this story wasn’t to complain about the stupid kid, but to give thanks that there is still at least one last Sandwich Artist out there. Not only did he know about the old way, but he did it for me and assured me that he liked it like this too! So here is a tip of my hat to you Sandwich Artist. Keep up the good work!
