Congratulations on your decision to enjoy a slightly healthier alternative to the normal luncheon selections. What's more, good job on encouraging your spawn to skip the grease torpedo and choose something that provides a bit more support to their future stool sample. Still with all these dietary benefits, it's important to remember that you still risk a rather high chance for imminent and brutal death at the hands of your cheering co-patrons.
Let us take a few moments to remember these simple guidelines:
- While you may not have a job, others do.
Please, after spending 10 minutes in line, know what you're going to order. Trust me, the "sandwich artist" behind the counter isn't going to suddenly spring "Filet Mingon" as an option. Some of us only have a few minutes to grab something. - If there are more than two people behind you who do not have a key to your home, do not let your 4 year old order.
Particularly if you're trying to save $.35 by having him split a foot long with the other 4 year old. - If the individual ahead of you let's you go first because you've got a 5 day old, please return the courtesy by not haggling about the ingredients of a kid's meal.
Yes, he'll whine for the 10 minutes he's eating, but the gentleman standing behind you with a chair over his head will leave a much longer lasting impression. - Do not pay for your sandwich with a credit card you took from the center of a pack of twenties.
Double meat chicken Sandwich… $8
Paying with cash … 3 seconds.
Paying with Visa … 30 seconds
Number of names the 20 people behind you are calling you… endless. - Chances are very good that the reason the line is so long is not the speed of the workers.
It's the fact that it took them three attempts to get your attention from talking about how long the line is.
Remember, do these simple steps and you won't be bludgeoned to death by the thirty people behind you.
Thanks and "Eat Fresh*".
*Somewhere else, moron.
From my lazy reading of the title, I was excited that this was going to be an article about the NYC subway. Maybe you could work a Bernie Goetz joke in there somewhere.
Not sure about your local Subway, but the terrible places I eat all process credit cards faster than they deal with cash.
I agree with callous. I know many modern cash registers even tell the cashiers what the denomination breakdown is, but less thinking/counting is almost always faster. If the cashier is one of the good ones, they're doing something during the data transfer time.
Well, not here, apparently.
There's a noticeable delay between swipe and printout that exceeds the amount of time required to change a twenty.

While is doesn't speed things up any, it's probably worth noting: the "Under 6 Club" stops being relevant when you get it as a footlong with provolone cheese, mayo, three cookies and a mega Mr. Pibb.
