| - I felt like I went back in time where life moved slower... a lot slower...
I placed my simple, simple order of an 8" meatball sub on wheat with cheese, jalapeƱos and black olives (so good if you want to spice up your reg meatball sub!). At the register the teenage boy read my order back and said "white" instead of "wheat" so I corrected him.
Luckily my uncanny ability to I pay attention to back ground noises paid off, because I overheard the line cook say "meatball on white" - I look to the teenage boy to see if he will correct her since he was standing three feet from her - he did not. He just stood there and said/did nothing. So I pipe up and ask if that was for my sub (just in case it wasn't). Low and behold it was my sub, so I politely mention that I actually ordered wheat.
From this point on it feels as if time had stopped, because I kid you not, it took over 15 minutes to complete my order.
I cannot possibly understand why it took that long to slap on some pre-made meatballs, add my three items, pass it through the toaster and call it a day. But that's how long it took.
I'd understand if there was a mad rush of people, or if I had ordered a really complex sub, but there had been one person in front of me. There were five ppl working, it just didn't make sense.
So I won't be back to this weird little location any time in the near future.
A meatball sub is pretty much a meatball sub no matter where you go. But service this slow just isn't worth the time or money.
