When is salami not salami? Answer, when it's from Subway.
Loving Subway sandwiches and salads and other items sold at Subways stores, I happened once again into a Subway for a small sandwich. I looked over the menu and decided to buy a cold cut combo, meat turkey based. I tore into the food then realized that the meat tasted all the same, no distinctive ham or salami flavors. Next move was to open the grinder and look at the contents. The three slices of meat (?) besides tasting the same, looked alike, too.
The explanation given was that the subway I ordered was turkey based and if I wanted real salami and real ham I would have to order the Spicy Italian. The supervisor went on to say that he gets this a lot with this particular selection and offered to make me a Spicy Italian this time only. Having a yen for the real stuff I agreed and was honored with a new six incher at no cost. I walked away vindicated with a note of thanks and the statement, 'I'll know to ask more questions, next time'.
I'll continue to go to this fast food establishment as I always have. Let's hope I learned my lesson.
Now for who wins the award for the most trees killed. There is quite a competition on, what with CVS loading a customer down with tons of spewed out cash register coupons and such, along with your receipt. I have found that when the coupons come there is no stopping the machine. I have opted for e-receipts whenever I could and still with the e-types a paper receipt follows. Other stores do the same so I am not just targeting CVS, Sears, Stop and Shop, etc. These happen to be some of the stores I frequent more than Subway, and like Subway will continue to shop there, and say my peace over and over.
