Kim-

Do us all a favor who work in food service, get a new card so we dont have to rub it all over our sweat soaked shirts.

PS. We apologize for sweating.

Guess: I really love that line of argument. Clearly Amanda must be some kind of hard-hearted class enemy yuppie scum cause she won't "get to know" the guy who makes her Subway sandwiches. You ever think maybe she might try talking to the guy if he wasn't such a fucking creep? Listen: I've seen the guy in action many times, with women and men, and I'm usually perfectly happy to chat up folks, but, you know what?, I just don't want to.

No doubt, he surely likes to stare down women and make seemingly suggestive comments that are coupled with the "stare".

To be fair though to Mr. Subway he does this to men as well. I think he does actually have fun doing these things. And asking you if you want the mayo...well he does know that you don't...it is a joke. He used to ask me if I wanted the dressing on the sandwich, knowing full well I did not.

If this is the same person, he is pretty harmless. If you were stuck in the shitty Subway all day, you would probably act a little batty too. And for the record, he is actually a pretty decent guy who is married. Perhaps you would know this if you tried to talk to him instead of making him your sandwich artist.

The hand graze is bad. Once, my credit card wasn't swiping correctly. His solution was to rub it all over his stomach. His shirt was sweat-soaked. It was gross.

if you are talking about the subway on 18th street, i totally empathize...especially with the grazing of the hand when giving change.

Aren't you the same person who has complained in the past about men heckling you on the street? Methinks you think awfully highly of yourself and perhaps for your own safety should just stay home and order in.

Amanda,

It is because they are hoping that you pick their foot long tube steak; you silly girl!
