SUBWAY – YOU ARE A BIG PILL OF POO!

grrrrrrrrrr (Teawhench)

I guess if you are seriously orthodox Jew, you might have deep objections with your roast beef being handled by the same gloves that handled ham or cheese.

But BIGOTRY certainly includes expecting the whole world (including every minimum wage sandwhich artiste) to read your mind on how orthodox you are in your particular belief system and comply.

PILL[sic] OF POO? (What is this, kindergarten?)

But I have a solution that respects my rights (becuase why should I be stiffed with the cost of something my belief system doesn’t require) and various ORTHODOX minorities – initiate a 25 cents per requested glove charge.

That way, you are particulary demanding, you can have your bread sliced with one set of gloves, your cold cuts inserted with another, two more sets of gloves so your lettuce doesn’t get handled with the same gloves that came into contact with tomatoes, ect., in absurdum.

Are Teawhench, et.al, sensitive a cornivore’s possible preference (depending on his degree of orthodoxy) not to have his meat handled (ewwwwwwwwwwwww!) by gloves that came into contact with this weird veggie concoction?

P.S. Contribute the charge to a tip fund for Subway employs. Then you would get a big smile… “Can I take your order? And how many times would you like me to change my gloves today?”
Somehow, I don’t think Teawhench has ever left anything in any tip jar (anywhere)

I am still astonished by posts from people such as Lexy and others above which purposefully ridicule others just because they are different. But we have to remember to be accepting of people who choose to eat meat, if we want the same respect back from them. If not are we any better than them? Although I am all for people learning where their meat comes from and being informed consumers.

I do want to say thank you for making this site, I was unsure about the veggie patties at subway and for months kept checking their website and was never really sure why they didn’t post the nutritional information. I really wish someone would open in a chain of vegan/vegetarian fast food restaurant’s. Nowadays so many people have dietary restrictions ranging from allergies to religious beliefs, to health concerns, that companies should be required by law to have on hand all ingredient and nutritional information.

If the idea of such a thing is so bothersome to you why not stay away altogether?

I would not give my money to a business that had so many offensive practices and made their profit from selling items or services that I felt were wrong, immoral or disgusting.

But it’s OK to add to their profits as long as the underpaid employees will do a little dance for you?

If you truly have strong convictions STAND by them. Otherwise it’s all just ego and pretentiousness.

“made me a veggie sandwich without changing their gloves”. Grow up.

As for the patty. It was way too big for the 6-inch bun with all the salad stuffs, so I had to cut and take off part of it. It was fine. Just tasted like a microwaved Gardenburger with a little too much mushroom if you ask me. Personally I like the salad-on-some-bread-sub, since all I usually want is the bread, the sweet onion sauce, and the black olives. But I get the lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc., and I like it. No cheese, too many calories and I usually ended up picking it off anyway since I’m picky like that.

Anyway, I am glad they have that for those who don’t like the salad-on-some-bread-sub. Also, I know that sort of option would have been a lifesaver for me in my early days of vegetarianism, when I didn’t know exactly what I was supposed to be eating now that I didn’t eat meat but knew I wanted something that vaguely reminded me, texture-wise, of meat. Transitions and all.

I don’t get Subway often, but if I bring a veggie sub home, I fry up some of my own fake-chicken tofu stuffs and slap that on the sandwich. Way better than their VegPatty and fewer calories. Plus I know exactly what I put in it which is always nice.

Amen to that brother! I’m the shift manager here at our local Subway. Our main customers for the Vegimax are Indian (no offense) and we get plenty of “What’s that” questions. I’ve also had to yell at my employees for lying to customers because they didn’t want to make it (because they say it smells when they cook it). I think it’s delicious though! (We also keep ours in the freezer). Unfortunately, our bain is too small to have it up there in view.
