I went to a certain, well known sandwich establishment the other day and to put it mildy.. I was very disappointed. Nay..... I was extremely, to the point of screaming, annoyed!!!
Our little family decided that we would try out this establishment as I had heard it did some rather nice food/sandwiches so off we wandered to go and get some lunch.
How shocked was I when I went in to find the board displaying the fillings had less choice than possibly the Devil would give you in your quest to find eternal damnation! It was abysmal!
I am a vegetablearian--- or vegetarian, if you like--- and I was checking out the notice board for the vegetarian options, note here that I said options 'cos I am kind of used to having a choice, and I found only one. It was called Vegetarian Deluxe! Sounds good-- but didn't actually say what was in it. So I asked the counter staff personage what was in it:
"Oh, it's cheese and salad"
Hardly Deluxe in my opinion and hardly exciting. Cheese bloody salad sandwich!! I couldn't believe it.
However, we chose to stick it out... although my partner who really did voice his opinions in the shop... I just felt sorry for the staff... they only work there for God's sake.
He had the biggest sandwich I have seen in my life and opted for the Teriakyi Chicken and my children shared a normal chicken one. Then it came to my order.
"What can I get for you?"
"Well since it's the only meat free thing on the menu, I'll have the Vegetarian Deluxe"
"What bread do you want?"
Now at this point I was staring in disbelief, because you do get to choose what kind of bread you want which is great, (there's: plain white, plain wholemeal, plain granary or italian cheese and herbs), .... but I was having a cheese salad sandwich... hardly a taste sensation. I really did feel like saying which one do you think? I'll have the one that will hopefully add some flavour to the sandwich.... what do you think I got? That's right the italian cheese and herb.
So then this woman starts to build my sandwich. Bearing in mind its only a cheese salad sandwich. I get two pieces of processed cheese nicely cut into triangles and some lettuce and tomato. Two pieces of processed cheese. That's not even real cheese. It only ever tastes mildy of rubber. Processed fucking cheese. For the same price as some of the meat varieties that they sold I got two pieces of processed cheese!!! Un-smegging-believable!!
I was absolutely shocked to find out that this little escapade cost me 12 quid as well!!
Needless to say... we will not be returning...... ever.
I may even open my own chain of sandwich shops to rival theirs. Now that would be fun!!
Thank you and good day : )
