Why I hate Subway.

I seriously hate Subway. It's not that the food is gross, it's that they pretend to have specific sandwiches you can order, when, in point of fact, they don't. They really just sell you types of meat. For example, I went to Subway and ordered their Chicken & Bacon Ranch Sub. Here is the description from the menu:

The fresh toasted SUBWAY® Chicken & Bacon Ranch sub is made with melted Monterey Cheddar cheese, all-white meat chicken breast strips, bacon strips, lettuce, tomato wheels, onions, green pepper strips, black olive slices, and ranch dressing.

Sounds good, right? But then the subway guy asks me, "What type of cheese I want". Um. . . doesn't it come with Monterey Cheddar cheese? Then, he asks me, "What vegetables I want?" Again, didn't the menu list the vegetables. and then the last straw . . . "what type of dressing do you want with that? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Why do you think I ordered the Chicken & Bacon RANCH sub??? It certainly wasn't because I hate ranch dressing. I ask you, WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A MENU DESCRIPTION if you then make your customer spell out every stinkin' ingredient? I clearly ordered the Chicken & Bacon Ranch because it sounded good, and I shouldn't have to explain to the staff how to make the sandwich that is listed on the menu. Argh!

Quizno's, on the other hand, actually will make you the sandwich you ordered. Their menu has a purpose. And that, my friends, is why I prefer Quizno's over Subway.
