Just imagine all the things you have touched before eating or touching food.
Those gloves are an illusion.

What about when mammy makes dinner?
You will be grand, you won't even notice a bit of dirt or the money.

You are still touching the money in your pocket and then eating the roll with the same hands. Dosent make a blind bit of notice if he touches someone else's money as well.
You don't know where the money has been and either way, it's not gonna kill you.

Does subway even have ketchup? Don't ever remember seeing ketchup in Subway.

That's not the worst thing about Subway.
100% of sandwich artists do not know how to make 'The Melt' properly. There is a big clue in the title of the sandwich.

I've noticed that certain regional varieties in what Subway offers. Some have ketchup, some have coleslaw and one particular place it seemed to be de rigour to put salt and pepper on the finished sub :eek: Friend said he was in one that offered garlic sauce but that's totally far fetched.

The kitchen that mammy cooks doesn't have hundreds of people passing through it every day

Screw you! That's offensive.

I just wish that Subway would flatten out their meatballs. Very hard to eat a meatball marinara without the meatball running away from you as you try and put it in your mouth !

Neither does the counter from which the food comes from. I've worked in a shop/deli and had to do both roles (till and deli). When handling money I would take one glove off and use just the one hand for taking money and giving change, then put that same glove back on when resuming in the deli. There simply wasn't enough time and boxes of gloves to be replacing them for each customer.

I hate this PC rubbish. Everyone knew what the OP was saying, why so many jump on the PC bandwagon.

I fly from Kerry to Luton 2 of 3 times a month (with Mr. O'Leary), and it is not possible to understand the safety announcements as at least 90% of staff do not natively speak the same language as the majority of the passengers (PC way of saying foreigners).

Lets wait until a incident, get some people killed, then someone will be bold enough to make a change.

Ive never been to subway.

Got to say the sauce thing wrecks my head too, also when they make the roll then put the sauce on and wrap it up so the sauce is all over the outside.

Mate asked to get mustard on one before and it was english mustard so very strong and of course it got slopped on like was mayonnaise ruined his roll.

PC?

SlowBlowin · 22-12-2015 03:18PM

politically correct. Also, PC or p.c.

Showing an effort to make broad social and political changes to redress injustices caused by prejudice. It often involves changing or avoiding language that might offend anyone, especially with respect to gender, race, or ethnic background.

Isn't that a pre-recorded safety announcement with an Irish accent?

All other live announcements are just scratch cards and after shave. Both of which propably won't cause deaths......

MonkeyTennis · 22-12-2015 03:34PM

dont be so sure. Some of those aftershaves are rank.

SlowBlowin · 22-12-2015 03:36PM

Yes there is that terrible plumb english accent recording "..taking offff", but when something happens (turbulence etc), they do not play a recorded message, they speak, generally unintelligibly.

If you sit by the emergency exits you used to get a detailed explanation you could understand. Now days most often they give you a card and say "read this".

When there is an incident, someone needs to clearly take control of the passengers (like in the Hudson river landing), this would not happen today.

I agree with the OP about the gloves. When they're making sandwiches and using the same gloves to route through the till it is pretty disgusting. I've only noticed this where there is a subway counter in a londis shop and there's only one person there most of the time.

I haven't seen it in the restaurants.

Whatever our thoughts on the gloves, can we all agree that their Southwest sauce is savage?

Duggy747 · 22-12-2015 03:55PM

Actually, their worst offence is putting the cheese on wrong.

It should be this!

See that mobile phone in your pocket? Pretty much guaranteed that there is as much if not more germs on it than a toilet seat. Doesnt seem to bother people though.

Shenshen · 22-12-2015 03:58PM

And all the while, they go out of their way to cater to vegetarians - every time I ask for a veggie patty sandwich, they ask me if I want them to change gloves before they start on it.

PC gone mahahahahd, I tell you!

smash · 22-12-2015 03:58PM

McDonalds staff don't even wear gloves.

the_pen_turner · 22-12-2015 03:59PM

I totally agree with the op on the glove issue.

money is one of the dirtiest things we have. imagine all the people in pubs and clubs that don't was their hands after the toilet and are handling money.

not only is it disgusting but its against the food hygiene rules .

Food preparers in the back don't handle money at the front.

Although the fries station at the side is a bit of a grey area..........

They still go on smoke breaks and use the toilets.
