A Pickle? Or Pick A Nose?

I had an argument today with a girl in Subway. Or not really an argument as much as a difference of opinions. The girl said I could not have extra olives or chillies on my 6" Veggie Delite without paying extra and I said it shouldn't make a difference as I didn't want 1) tomatoes 2) red onion and 3) green pepper so those three ingredients ought to outweigh the 2 I wanted a little more of.

But nooooo! "If you want extra you have to pay 20 pence per item - just like you do if you want extra slices of cheese!" And I said that there was no sense in that what so ever if I opted out of a few ingredients.

As this conversation takes place the girl wipes her nose with the back of her hand and then grabs a handful of salad to put on my sandwich!

I can't remember exactly what I said or how loud I said it but the words "filthy", "disgusting" and "unbelievable" were probably said out loud.

The Lady behind me gasped in horror while clutching her leather gloves to her mink-coated chest - she then looked at me and said "Well done!" before heading towards the door. Without her sandwich. The manager ran towards us and pushed the girl out of the way and asked me what she could help me with and I said truthfully;

I would like a Veggie Delite with extra olives and chilles but no tomatoes, onions, green peppers or snot. Please.

Sadly, I could not taste the sweet victory on my sandwich so most of it ended up in a bin and it'll be a while before (if ever) I head back to Subway...
