| - this is a review of this particular subway but from an older experience, but i have never forgotten how disgusted i was.
i went in one evening to get two foot longs.
some kid was mopping the floor behind the counter with gloves on. (you see where this is going?)
i ordered from a girl who was not mopping, then, she cut the bread for my order, passed it along,and walked into the back. The red haired kid who was mopping then went directly from mopping to handling my food. no washed hands, no hand sanitzer, not even a wrong attempt to change gloves, just obliviously went from holding the same mop they use to clean the bathrooms, a mop with an unknown brownish residue speckling the handle, possibly after using those same gloves and mop to clean the toilets, to (attempting) to make my food. he smiled and asked "what would you like tonight?"
first: i don't give a damn how nice you may pretend to be, if you are going to give me e-coli or salmonella or human feces on my turkey breast subs, you can go to hell.
ALSO: if you don't realize that you shouldn't go from handling the same mop you use to clean up piss and feces in the bathroom to making food for human beings, you do not belong in any facet of the food industry.
i asked: "uhhhh, shouldn't you wash your hands and change your gloves after touching that mop handle and before making the food??????????"....... his response: oh, ha ha ha, i forgot, ha ha.
he took off the tainted gloves after grasping the (now tainted) bread, grabbed the mop he had leaned against the food prep table and placed it against the wall near the hand washing sink and then rinsed his hands for 3 seconds with water (no soap or sanitizer), dried them on his dirty apron, then dug his hands into the box of gloves and fumbled with putting on some new gloves for about 30 seconds, contaminating them as well.
at this point, i said "oops, i left my wallet at home" and walked out of there, probably sparing myself many, many hours of food poisoning symptoms, e-coli-poisoning, salmonella, or just the disgust of knowingly ingesting bits of human feces.
beyond disgusting. i have never eaten at a subway since, nor do i plan to in the future considering the type of people they employ. (apparently, idiotic high school kids who just want a paycheck and have never even heard of food safety practices, or they just don't come close to caring about them when they're handling other people's food)
...just something i needed to get off my chest, (i have had nightmares about the experience ever since)
