I just got Subway tonight for dinner, hadn’t had it in a long while but I was walking past it and suddenly felt like getting some. Now I remember why I stopped. I hate when they place the meats and cheese on top of the fold in the bread, instead of on one side of the bread fold. Which means when they close it, all of the meat and cheese has folded into a C shape with the inner part being nothing but meat and cheese, and the other outer part only lettuce and toppings. Why why do they do this? There is literally no way to take a bite and get everything at once.
I picked up the way my grown son orders TBell. He relies on “no” and “add”. As in: This Item - no onion - no beans - add sour cream. And it comes up on the board:
This Item $$
no onion
no beans
add sour cream $.
The adds usually cost you.
At least they’re slicing the bread in half now instead of cutting that stupid wedge out of the top.
I think of this every time I get a Subway. How did they fit everything in there? They must have a used a fraction of the fillings that they use now.
It’s cut the same way it’s always been cut. 
I’m not sure what you mean by wedge.
He meant exactly what he said. Instead of slicing the bread in half like any normal sandwich shop, Subway used to cut a wedge out of the top of the loaf and pile the toppings in the trench created, then put the little piece of bread back on top. It made the sandwich really hard to eat. I stopped going there because of it.
Ok. I guess they must have changed that many years ago. I have never seen that.
It wasn’t that long ago - maybe 10 years ago. Although it may have changed earlier in some places because I remember that a large part of the reason they changed was because that wedge was really unpopular with customers. In fact, I went to Blimpies instead of Subway specifically because of that cut.
It was apparently called “the v cut.”
As with all things, there is a YouTube video about it. Complete with a bunch of comments from people who loved it that way, and hate that it’s been changed.
I used to review and rate most of the stuff I bought on Amazon, hoping to help the next person, but it became more trouble than it was worth.
There was no motivation whatsoever for writing reviews. No “thank you for your dedication”, nor “you have achieved the rank of trusted reviewer” or anything.
After a while I realized it was mostly a waste of time and stopped.
If there is something I really like (or don’t like) I’ll still leave a review, but “reviewing” is not a side hobby anymore.
Well, the MBTA is apparently living up to their motto “stop complaining, we can always make things worse.” They recently repaved that lot. The single entrance/exit goes directly onto a main road in the town, and you have to make a left or right, you can’t go straight.
Previously, there was one lane to enter the lot, and two lanes to exit, one to turn left, one to turn right. Which made perfect sense, the time people enter the lot is spread out, while exits come in bursts of dozens of people leaving at the same time because a train arrived. But after repaving, the painted new markings with two entrance lanes, and only a single exit lane that everyone has to share. Which sucks for the people turning right, because instead of making a right on red from the right turn lane as they normally did, they’re stuck behind people turning left. And it sucks for people turning left, because the light stays green for a very short period of time, so they’re now sharing that time with people turning right.
I stopped going to Subway as their sandwiches had no flavor.
They used to rank reviewers, in fact they still call me a “Top reviewer”. However, if you wrote enough reviews that they liked, they might have invited you to be a Vine reviewer, which gets all sorts of free stuff to review.
I get the Hotshot Italiano with pepperjack cheese and Chipotle mayo. Plenty flavorful.
Yeah, my ‘go to’ is a BMT with oil and vinagar. All the toppings.
This one is really narrow. It only applies to me when I’m on this message board.
I get annoyed when I’m reading a long-running thread and I want to see what posts I’ve made in it so I enter “nemo” as a search term.
And then I find that mnemosyne has posted in the thread.
There’s an easy solution: type “@Little_Nemo” (without the quotes) in the search field, that’s a unique identifier for your username. Or even easier “@me”, which does the same for every poster searching for themselves.
The last time I had some work done around the house, I was asked for a five star review, not just later, but now, because it was a measure of job performance for the poor guy. So he literally stood there while I went and got my phone and wrote, “Andy did a great job!” on Google reviews.
I don’t blame Andy. And he DID do a great job. But come on.
Yes. It is.
I got stuck today, behind someone waiting until there were no cars in sight before they’d drive across a not-very-busy street.
Even easier: go to the last post in the thread. After the end of the last post is a link to the number of “users”. Click on it and see your avatar. It will show you how many posts you’ve made in the thread, and if you click on it, it will display all your posts. The “users” link is also at the end of the first post in the thread.
Wow, I never knew this! Thx!
It appears this function only names the twenty-four people who have submitted the most posts in the thread.
