i like them better than subway, because subway's poo poo and i get paralyzed by all the options, none of which are actually good options. then it turns out their spokesman was a pedo, so i now just use that as an excuse instead of having to explain my anxieties to people

i tried going to jimmy john's, but i think there were cleaning chemicals in my sandwich because it tasted sort of like the way cleaning chemicals smell, and then i felt all dizzy for a couple of hours. so i don't think i should go back there, on account of the whole "i may have been poisoned" thing

subway is awful

jimmy johns never impressed me, i think buying a stale hoagie roll and 1/8 lb of various deli meats/cheese at whatever grocery store is closest to you could result in the same sandwich for the same price

subway has the cheapest franchising rights which is why they're everywhere

for ~$50k you can buy a subway franchise, versus mcdonalds which needs a million in liquid assets and a detailed plan on the optimal location to place one, along with loans to buy all of their equipment and stuff

the flip side is that a mcdonalds almost never goes out of business

quiznos went bankrupt during the same time period subway managed to become the biggest fast food company in the world, incidentally.

betwene 2007 and 2012, 2000 quiznos locations closed, and in 2014 they straight up went bankrupt.

so now after a bit of recovery they're up to 2100 locations, but subway has fuckin 44,800 locations

subway franchises tend to step on each other's toes like starbucks

they've lost a lot of corner boys in the turf wars

This is one Uber executive who may have taken the sharing economy a bit too far.

A Silicon Valley power couple — he’s a top executive at Uber and she’s the head of global operations at Airbnb — tormented a live-in nanny with sexual harassment, even as they skimped on wages, paying her below the legal limit, a lawsuit claims.

Cameron Poetzscher, Uber’s head of corporate development and a former Goldman Sachs investment banker, harassed the nanny by exposing himself, masturbating in front of her, and requesting inappropriate massages and “handwork,” the lawsuit claims.

When the live-in nanny, Julieta Yang, complained to Poetzscher’s wife, Varsha Rao, the lady of the house did little to fix the situation, court papers claim.

Yang, initially hired when the couple lived in Singapore, claims Poetzscher repeatedly approached her in the buff, asking her to rub his back with lotion and offering extra cash for “massage” services — requests she turned down.

After they moved to San Francisco with their two children in 2013, Poetzscher asked Yang to “massage his legs using a rolling pin,” according to the suit.

The nanny complied, and her boss soon “apologized noting that he was not supposed to act in such a way in the United States,” according to the suit.

While asking Yang not to tell Rao about such incidents, Poetzscher nevertheless persisted with his lewd behavior, forcing Yang to quit this spring, the suit says.

“We are both deeply shocked and saddened by these allegations — which are completely and utterly false,” Poetzscher said in a statement.

“Julieta worked as our nanny for seven years and was an important part of our family, someone both our children loved deeply. Julieta left in April, and we have not heard from her since then. We will make no further comment about this case.”

Officials at Uber and Airbnb didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment, including whether they have taken any actions because of the suit.

While caring for the couple’s two children, Yang says she cooked, cleaned the house and performed other chores routinely for nine hours a day, six days a week.

In return, she got a flat weekly rate of $450. After she complained, Yang says the couple began forcing her to sign falsified time sheets before doling out weekly paychecks.
