Subway, uneven cuts when you order a 6inch?

It might just be me but when you order a 6 inch they take a footlong and slice it. They don't cut it right in the middle but instead cut it slightly shorter resulting in giving you a smaller slice.

Is this just an illusion and it's actually in the middle?

Check this one out:

I don't get it :angry:

    Actually I've noticed just the opposite. I always think they cut a little more than 6 inches! Also, I feel like the amount of meat slices they put have increased. They used to be measly about it and now suddenly there's too much meat.

    But, I did notice, that when I'm my hungriest, I get the "shorter" 6 inch...::sad:

    This! The only reason i stick to subway and not any of the other places is because they have less meat and you can tell them what veggies and how much you want.

    i think they most deff. give you the smaller piece ... the next person after us is the lucky one ! why do they always change the way they do things...they should go back to cutting the bread from the top and putting in the meat !!

    :huh:

    okay... seriously.... i work at subway...
    and i bake the bread.....

    the bread always ALWAYS comes out differently. Not one loaf of bread is the same EVER.

    When I cut my foot longs, for my customers, I cut as close to "in half" as I can. I THAN look at both 6 inches and choose the bigger for the customer, because i do CARE to a degree. If they really don't like it, they say something, but I usually never have problem because i make bomb sandwiches, especially if you are a good customer :wink:
    But not all sandwich artists are like me.

    I used to work at Subway, and I had people ask me for the larger side. I always tried to slice as evenly as possible though. I actually had customers that would ask me to cut a fresh 12inch for them because they thought the piece I got was too small. :)

    I always get the foot-long for the less expensive cost-per-unit and I can always put half away for later.

    Yeah! Especially when they had that $5 Footlong promotion going on. Also, I put on a lot of weight during that time!

    I used to work at Subway and it really depends on who makes your sandwich... I am kinda borderline OCD so it would bother me if everything is symmetrical and even. However, there are others who really just don't give a dam and cut where there feel like it. Some cut big, some cut small.... like I said, it all depends on who is making your sandwich.

    Hope I could help :happy:
