I told her at the start I didn't want it toasted but she took it to the grill until I stopped her.

Came time to pay and I whipped out my AMEX card. We don't take AMEX she said, the first bit of reaction I'd had from her. Oh, sorry, I don't have any other cards with me. Let me go to ATM and get some cash........ Of course I never went back in!!

Years ago there was a store beneath where I worked at the time and I can't remember if it was web ordering or via screen in store and you could request extra veges for no extra cost. I pimped my sub with everything going and it was plump. No hesitations back then. The miserly portions being handed out on my last few visits made me never to go in again. Nearly did 2 weeks ago when I walked past one as smelt the baking bread, but kept walking and bought off a local stall in a market instead. Cheaper and tastier!!
