Yeah, I've still got that shit stuck in my head a decade later, but now when I yearn for a sandwich I look at a menu featuring $13 options pre-tax. Suck me off with that Subway. Fuck you and your pedo sandwiches.

im not like a no-fun-allowed anti-restaurant leftist but the concept of places that assemble food so simple you watch them do it in a minute is absurdist shit

restaurants need to actually cook things

actually the division of labour is a good thing, and you probably couldn't make a decent sandwich nearly as quickly as someone who makes 50 of them per hour using dedicated equipment

Cafeterias are the trains of eateries

I definitely make sandwiches better and faster than my local sandwich wage slaves but it's not it's not like that's their fault or anything. They've got a backlog of assholes' sandwiches to make. Also I don't expect workers to bend over backwards to make my treats fast that's not why I would buy a sandwich and it's class traitor behavior to blame them rather than staffing issues i.e. the man.
