Dear Subway: please use different knives


I love sub sandwiches. To me, it's like having a delicious sandwich of choice elongated to suit your appetite. Most people, myself included, completely dig Subway's subs. Delicious, fresh veggies topped off on good cuts of meat... I'd go there every day if I could.

But something really gets me about Subway.

For those that don't know me, I have a distaste for most condiments. Like others, I can't stand the sight, or smell, of things like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise. It gets to gag-reflex points. I send food back when these things are on it (and I always ask to have my food without).

Mayonnaise especially gets me. It's basically disgusting fat, right? Why do people eat it? Practically the whole world has agreed that mayo is disgusting.

For what it's worth, yes I have tried Miracle Whip. Yes, it is equally disgusting, you sick people. It's like smoking clove cigarettes, it really doesn't make anything better for you.

Back to the topic at hand, Subway. See, Subway is very good about keeping gross things like mayo off my sandwich. Still, other sick people get these condiments on theirs.

Subway provides the service of cutting your footlong sub in half, so you can easily hold your sandwich while eating it. See where I'm going with this?

They use the same knife for all sandwiches.

See, Subway, you're missing something. I asked for no mayo. The knife you used (which they don't ever wash, and always looks like it's caked with everyone else's condiments from their sandwiches) to cut my sub was used to cut the person's sub in line before me.

And they asked for mayo. You put that knife in mayo. I do not want mayo on my sub. That knife, full of mayo, went through my mayo-less sandwich.

So, Subway, change this. What if someone has severe allergies to disgusting things like mayo? You're killing this segment of the population, and making me tear off pieces of my sub, carefully examining for any gross white stuff.

I want a two-knife rule for every Subway. One for the mayo subs, and one for the rest. Make it happen!
