| - Was in this shopping center for another reason and was hungry, so I decided to stop in Jersey Mike's. I've been in this one before, but it's been probably a year.
First, the sandwich was fine. Very expensive, though. $8.05 (including tax) for a regular sized sandwich. If that was the only problem, 3 stars.
However, there were two things about the experience I didn't like at all. The first was the machine (which looked new) used to swipe my debit card. Before you can swipe, a screen pops up with pre-calculated tip amounts on it (10%, 15%, and 20%) and a small button off by itself reading "no tip". How obnoxious. Why would I want to tip someone who spent 2 minutes making a sandwich for me and other than me telling him what sandwich I wanted, had nothing else to say? No, I'll save my 20% tips for my sit down restaurants and wait staff that actually talk to me, served me my food and refilled my water. Sorry, asking for a tip on my debit card screen for making my sandwich was obnoxious.
Second, the woman who rung me up was unfriendly and blurted out the instructions so fast for paging through the two stupid screens before I could swipe my card that I couldn't understand a word she said. So, I asked her to repeat herself, and once again, she very quickly (like a rehearsed script) did it again - and faced away from me while doing so. She seemed like she couldn't wait to get me out of there so she could go on break.
Anyway, there are far better choices all over the Chandler area for sandwiches (Planet Sub, Jimmy Johns, Firehouse, Which Wich to name a few). Next time, I'll just drive the extra mile or two and go to one of these places.
