| - I know Jimmy John's is all about "super freaky fast" service, but their manners are also pretty freaky. I'm usually sympathetic to unmotivated or cranky employees (after all, there's nothing glamorous about working at a fast food place). Unfortunately, the college kids who work here are particularly resentful--and they don't mind taking it out on your sandwich.
I came in by myself to pick up dinner for friends. When I tried to place my order, the girl working the register (who was obviously new) struggled to punch in each item. No one seemed interested in helping her, even though 4 other people stood behind the counter. She finally started yelling at them...still, they just stared blankly at the cold cuts in front of them (maybe they were stoned?).
After they made and wrapped my subs, they placed them on the counter in front of me. I asked if they could bag them since it would be awkward to carry all those sandwiches on my own. One employee pointed to a stack of paper bags and told me I could bag them myself, if I wanted.
The sandwiches are all just variations on a theme: meat of choice, watery mayo, tomatoes, a modest smear of avocado, and too much shredded iceberg lettuce. The taste is much improved if you add their tasty hot peppers, but I very rarely crave a Jimmy John's sandwich.
For fast food sandwiches, I vote Subway. The only benefit of Jimmy John's is that they deliver.
