Subway

Hello my fellow Unilocalers and welcome to the slowest dirtiest #Subway I have ever been to. Thirty minute waits? YEP! Trash and dirt on the tables and floors? YEP! If I had anywhere else near here to go I knew of I would be there. Hot Krust is just far enough that I can’t make it. He’s also closed on Sunday’s. I’d like to say there is a positive here — can’t find it yet. Until next time, please don’t follow this restaurant lead and done fine!

Not sure what the other people expected, it’s a subway. By comparison to every other subway I have ever patronized this one was Friendly, they did greet me at least. They were pretty quick by subway standards. Lastly it was clean. Don’t let the bad reviews fool you if your in the mood for a subway sub your will be in good shape. Rate the establishment not the company.

I wasn’t greeted when I came in, I stood around waiting for someone and when they finally acknowledged me all I got was «What kinda bread you want?». They just were not friendly at all and didn’t ask me whether I wanted my sandwich toasted, they just tossed it in the oven and slammed the tray on the back counter. The next person to add the veggies had my sandwich on the counter and continued gossiping with her co-​workers about who was buying lunch and what pizza place they were ordering from. The store’s only saving grace was the cashier, who actually smiled at me and spoke to me as a human being and not like I was a disruption to their day.

Let me start by saying I would never be caught buying food for myself in a Subway. I’m from Jersey and we know how to make subs so I’d rather not eat lunch than eat here… this is also why I’m always amazed at this company’s success. Anyway, back to this particular location in Orlando. My daughter needed a sandwich to have with her so she could eat between field hockey games (try finding something healthy at the ESPN Wide World of Sports) so she asked if I’d buy her a turkey sandwich here before heading to the fields. Fine.
I walk in and the line consists of one woman and a couple with three young girls. Now I don’t know if you’ve ever watched the magic that goes into making a Subway sandwich, but it consists of throwing pre-​measured pieces of cold cut meat and cheese onto a 6″ or 12″ roll (four pieces of meat on on a 6″ sub or 8 on a 12″…ooooh, can you spare the protein?) then tossing on some toppings. Each sandwich takes about a minute to make-​tops. Why then did it take 18 minutes to make six sandwiches? I honestly didn’t know humans could move this slow… sloths, yes… zombies, maybe (and don’t give me that 28 Days Later sprinting zombie crap… they weren’t zombies)…but not 20-​something year old humans.
Take a LITTLE pride in your work. Geez. I understand it isn’t the best job in the world, but it’s a job. I hate giving 1-​star reviews unless a place really sucks, so they grudgingly get two… only, and I mean ONLY, because my daughter has no taste and says the sandwich was tasty. It’s times like these when I question how she and I could be related… ugh…
