| Subway Venture
I just went to Subway, a restaurant (?) that I truly enjoy. There I have two sandwiches: the BMT and the Turkey and Ham.
The Turkey and Ham I always get on Honey Oat with swiss cheese, of course toasted, and dressed with lettuce, black olives, onions, banana peppers, and dijion mustard. I usually get this with some chips to fill me up.
Well today I decided to forgo the chips while in line, and apparently trying to make that decision threw me off completely. I ordered the sandwich with the correct bread, and I thought I noticed the sandwich artist using more meat than usual. Hurray! However, while getting it dressed I reverted to the dressing options I normally put on my BMT, and I completely forgot about the banana peppers (quite possibly the most important part). Also, when she asked me what kind of dressing, I said "honey mustard" and was not quick enough to realize my mistake. I thought, "well, it won't be too bad, the honey mustard, while not as good as the dijion, is still quite tasty." So I go to checkout, hand the girl my credit card, sign my bill and get into my car (it's a pickup order). Only then do I realize I was charged for a Subway Melt, a whole $0.40 more!! Upon eating the sandwhich, I realized that the ham was not the best quality. It had some parts that were fatty that did not appease me. After the sandwich was finished, I realized that the chip decision made before the order (and the cause of all my mistakes) was in itself, a mistake.
Just an example of how wrong a simple lunch can go. I warn all of you: don't ever slack on the considerations you make for lunch. It can ruin your whole day, as it has mine.

| Does Subway count as a restaurant in the US?
We think of it as a fast food place over here.
I'm now wondering if this is another of those terms that doesn't travel well over the pond. | |

| I thought this was going to be a rant concerning the NYC subway system... like with trains.
Even though it wasn't, I still feel that it is appropriate to point out that I hate the NYC subway system. | |

| Ugh. I hate to say it but that doesn't look like what I would term a restaurant.
I think I am slightly spoiled. I live 10-15 minutes walk to 5-6 reasonably priced and regarded restaurants. And about twice that number of pubs.
