No Option
Choice sucks. Obviously that statement is taken to a extreme but for the purpose of writing this I’m going to stick to it.
The root of all choice problems can be identified with Subway. It’s their pointless and tedious sandwich creation system that has turned me into sounding like someone out of Ninteen Eighty-Four. Here’s what I’m talking about:
Ben: Hello Kind Sir, I would love to try your new Southwest Breakfast Sandwich that I have seen on my television. It looks positively delightful!
Subway Guy: Okay, what bread will you be having with this sandwich?
Wait, let’s pause for a second. Already the problem begins. What do you mean “what bread”? I want the bread on saw on TV. Why am I being asked this question? I suppose it’s semi legit since people are rather particular about their bread so we’ll go on.
Ben: I don’t know what options I have, how about just the one shown in the picture behind you.
Subway Guy: Okay, we will be having many kinds of bread… (proceed to rattle off 40,000 varieties of bread I didn’t even know were in existence)
Ben: That’s great, can I please have the bread in the picture behind you?
Subway Guy: Okay.
…
Subway Guy: What would you like to be having with this?
Ben: Umm, whatever comes on a Southwest Breakfast sandwich would be perfect please.
Subway Guy: Do you want peppers?
Ben: Is it supposed to have them!?
Subway Guy: You can put peppers on the sandwich.
Ben: Can you please just make this sandwich look like the sign behind you and what I’ve seen on TV?
Subway Guy: Would you be liking me to put onions on your sandwich?
Look subway, if I wanted to order my own sandwich from scratch I’d sit at home and probably make it myself. What is the point of naming any kind of sandwich if it’s not made from a specific list of ingredients? In the given situation I could say the name of almost any sandwich and walk out with a completely different one given my options.
Here’s subway’s real menu. Meatball, Philly Cheese Steak, A Sandwich, A Breakfast Sandwich.
Why complicate things by making me think you’re making me some kind of specially crafted sandwich if really the only thing I’m going to choose is what stupid meat I want on there.
Idea for Subway: Make your sandwiches to the recipe unless otherwise requested. For people who are not me and would like to customize their experience down to the leaf of lettuce continue to sell your most popular item “Sandwich.” Do not proceed to ask me how I would like my Buffalo Chicken sub created. I’m not a sandwich artist; I do not know. I would just like what I’ve seen on TV! Please understand because I’m a simple man.
Many people say they want choice but they really only think they do. If your choices are limited but the options are pretty good most people are happy. Want to argue that with me? Then answer this, do you own an iPhone yet?

the quiznos in lake zurich, palatine, mundelein and i think arlington heights closed down. so perhaps little timmy was not please after all.
blatantly ignoring that I said Jimmy Johns and "the like" to prove your point hardly does the job.

why did you have this conversation duplicated at two different times?
