Subway

This was our 3rd day on the road traveling from San Diego to Michigan.
We stopped to get gas in Iowa in the middle of nowhere. We were hungry
and there was Subway, so the next choice is obvious. Lets get Subway!

My wife said she had a weird feeling about this one because
some guy kept walking back and forth from Subway to the gas
station store and staring at her. But I was like, whatever lets
just get food and go. The employees were hanging out around
the counter and there he was too.

To keep it short. Nice girls. Bad customer service. After waiting 5
minutes for the employees to stop socializing with friends they
finally got ready to take my order.

There was a guy working there too. I wont mention his name
but it starts with a "C" and rhymes with hole. We'll just call him
Billy-Bob.

My wife went into the bathroom to nurse our 4 month old baby
while I order some grub.

I asked for a turkey with Swiss. (A regular Subway fav of mine)
Then the girl asks Billy-Bob "We do Provolone when they ask for
Swiss right?" Billy-Bob answers "Yeah." My thought was maybe
she is in training and doesn't know how to make sandwiches yet.
Then the unimaginable happened...

She plops Provolone cheese onto my sandwich. In my head I
was thinking "What in the Iowa is going on?!"

So I ask "Are you out of Swiss?"
Billy-Bob turns around and says "Swiss and Provolone are the
same exact cheese, but one has holes in it."

I pause with disbelief and say "You can't be serious. You don't
know there difference between the 2?" Then he once again goes
on to express "Yeah, they're the same cheese." and
then walks off into the back room.

I asked the girl who was making my sandwich "Is he serious?".
Then I explain the difference. But 3 seconds into it I realize
this is not going to change anything. My family is hungry, and
I am still waiting for my wife to finish nurshing (took 15 minutes).
So I went with the flow because the girl just seemed so sweet
and innocent about it all.

I got the sandwich, asked for the guys name, then we all hit
the road. It came up in conversation over and over throughout
our trip.

I hate that I always think of the right things to say in those kind
of situations, way after the fact. I mean doesn't it say enough
that Subway carries both Swiss and Provolone? I don't think
they would waste money on 2 of the same items.  Who gets
Provolone on a turkey sandwich. I know it varies from person
to person, but I personally think that is more fitting for a
Meatball sub.

Anyway, I don't think I will ever return to that Subway.
But I do want to warn you.  If you love Swiss cheese because of
it's strong flavor and how well it compliments a turkey sandwich,
and find yourself craving it in Iowa, you won't get what you want.

I mean its subway so what do u expect. Clean place and good customer service
