HenryJLittlefinger posted:I'm curious how the General would handle a Which Wich, where you fill out a sandwich checklist on the bag and hand it to the people behind the counter. Maybe just draw a dick on the bag? Deli down the street pretty much has this. It goes like this: "Heyyos, I'd like a sandwich, whatever you think is delicious is fine." "Uhh, I like some weird stuff on my sandwiches." "Whatever, I'm sure it'll be great." "What kind of bread?" "Doesn't matter. I trust in you." Then they go off and make me a sandwich. They come back, sometimes the person tells me what's on it. Sometimes they don't. None have them have ever seemed offended by the interaction. Once I wasn't a huge fan of the sandwich I was given. You know what I did? I ate it. All of it

If you do that regularly it's just kind of weird. It's like you never grew out of the "whatever mom, I don't care what we have for dinner" phase. It's OK to have preferences, and it's OK to voice them. If we were talking about seasoned chefs with great reputations maybe it would be different, but why would you put your meal you are paying for in the hands of the 16 year old "sandwich artist"? As for your anecdote, of course they aren't offended - you are giving them money. They probably give you the cheapest edible sandwich they can produce and charge you whatever they feel like and make more profit from you than a normal customer.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:Subway and Quiznos are both trash compared to Togo's. Apparently Togo's only exists in California though so... Togo's has an unfortunate corporate history that means that it is of noticeably lower quality than it was a decade ago (well, really, it was even better longer ago than that). It's still better than Subway but not by as much as it was.

whiteyfats posted:What happened? There was a period of time when it was owned by the same company that also owned Baskin Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts and, as far as I know, operated these as if they were complementary (e.g. combined stores). As part of that strategy, they also expanded Togo's into territories outside California where the standards for ingredients that could be maintained in California had to be compromised due to distance. Later on, these businesses got spun off or sold, including Togo's. By then it was clear that the expansion was not overly successful and the new ownership made pretty drastic cost cuts, including cuts on aspects of their sandwiches that I think most people would have considered distinguishing traits.

It's not like he gets a commission. He'll just make the same thing he made the 3rd person ago, it's easier than coming up with some custom minmax. (And Subway has already optimized those for profit anyway.)

Yeah, and? I still ate the sandwich and didn't complain about it. Okay, maybe I am this one time, sixteen years later. But to this day, I have not seen pineapple as an option at a sub place. Caught me off guard. Would eat it again though, wasn't terrible. And is literally what I get for answering "alright." When the guy says "I'm just gonna put everything on there." Edit: and the skill focus: making a sandwich people owned me. The General has a new favorite as of 00:06 on Jan 29, 2017 |

I lived through this and it was depressing as gently caress to watch happen. In the early 2000s Togo's in the Bay Area was a thing to behold. Great big sandwiches with tons of filling—like three times the mass of a typical Subway, even if the volume looked the same. And the bread! I was pulled off the sidewalk in Campbell where they had their corporate HQ in the basement of a nondescript building near the Pruneyard for a while, and sat in a classroom sort of room where they were testing out a new menu addition, a grilled chicken sandwich. They gave us three different chicken sandwiches for us to try, and the one I liked best ended up becoming #1 on their numeric menu, the California Grilled Chicken, with this neato kalamata olive spread that I've never been able to replicate since it disappeared from the menu after the Baskin-Robbins takeover. But as I left the classroom/basement thing, I passed this blocky guy talking to the Togo's employee in this thick Brooklyn accent: "Ey, I'm from New Yooawk, and I know from good bread. Dis here, Dis is good bread!" In the late 2000s after the takeover it became basically just another too-slick sandwich chain with unremarkable unmemorable fare. But at least they still had #7, the roast beef that they kept stored in hot water  (the only thing I never could get on board with). #9, the pastrami, was freaking great though

A sandwich that was made for you without your input always tastes better than one you made yourself or even chose the ingredients for. I can't explain it, but it's true.

I recently moved out to Colorado for school. While I had read of Midwest horrors in this thread, I wasn't expecting that in this region, no one puts salt on anything. loving nothing has any salt. Even loving McDonald's has no salt on their fries. It's loving weird man.
