| - Despite their badass self-image, their sandwiches are anything but badass. The service and sorry sandwiches at this place made me wonder if they'd just started. Nope, the chain / franchise company has been around for almost as long as Subway, but with, what, 1% as many franchises?
Short example: order a "Gourmet Veggie Club". On the menu, "real avocado spread" is the second ingredient. Try to see if you can find it. Avocados are delicious and expensive, so you wanna taste it, right? It's not going to happen. When I took the sandwich to the counter to ask why all the ingredients weren't there, they showed me how two pieces of cheese were stuck together with a thin film of guac. Hello, what is this? There's more mayo (last ingredient listed) than guac in the sandwich. But, the response was that that was the precise amount they were supposed to include. Badass sandwiches? Try sorry ass sandwiches.
For bad attitude, bad quality, and bad prices, there's no place like Jimmy John's Garbage Sandwiches.
Footnote: JJ is based in Champaign. This makes me leary of visiting a franchise in any other city, if this store is so bad and so close to home.
