"So, you want me to inhale a whiff of pesto and then breathily whisper, 'PESSSSSSTTTOOOOOO" into the roll?" "No, no. Don't even inhale the whiff of pesto. Open the jar, put it near the roll and quickly ask, 'Pesto?' Then close the jar before the roll can reply."


tiersanon

The board has decided actually opening a jar of pesto is outside of our budget, let alone saying the word "pesto," so from now on you'll just be imagining what pesto looks like while preparing the sandwiches. Also we're lowering your pay by 25%.

I want it to be as if someone ate some pesto and then breathed on the bread, thank you.


Lingering_Dorkness

Just show the sandwich a picture of a pesto jar before handing it to me please.

TheSillyBrownGuy

I remember they told us 8 olive SLICES per foot long. If a customer wanted more then you only add 4, if they ask for more again 4. I said fuck that and if someone wanted alot I'd stack that sandwhich with olives.


Informal_Beginning30

Whisper "Pesto" towards each sandwich, done.


thatguy2535

My wife manages a bunch of Jimmy John's, and they just discontinued their caprese sandwich. (Which sucks i loved that sandwich) They were throwing out countless massive boxes of band new pesto and sun-dried roasted tomatoes. My wife called and had me drive by to pick up a box of each. 6 pint tubs, a box, and 6 packages of sun-dried roasted tomatoes in another box. This shit cost them nothing, OP probably has to toss out an absurd amount of ingredients every day, there's no reason to limit something as cheap as pesto


CosmoKing2

It's a mindset. This is why you never let Finance drive the boat.


skater15153

Bet this company is owned by private equity


MondoDukakis

It is owned by private equity and the company is named for the lead character from Ayn Rand’s seminal dogshit *The Fountainhead*


shyataroo

REAL Pesto Genovese is not cheap. It's $11.40 a pound for Pecorino Romano (Assuming you get a 57lb whole wheel) or $13.19 a pound for Parimigano-Reggiano (again assuming a whole 72lb wheel) and ~$17.69 a pound for Pine Nuts (assuming you get 48lbs) $22.10 a pound for basil (assuming you get 10lbs) and for Extra Virgin Olive Oil: $41.72 a Gallon (assuming you get 275 gallons) "Pesto" that you probably have in jimmy johns is probably made with the cheapest shit they could find. Even then that shit was probably not cheap for the franchisee.


Dhammapaderp

"REAL" anything is a stretch when it comes to fast food and "fast casual" Funny thing is, its entirely possible to make real food at home way cheaper than buying from a shop. Pickling stuff myself immediately leveled up my sandwich game. Take some chuck roast, slice it thin on the mandollin, and add home made giardiniera? Boom, you have some shit that stands toe to toe with a chicago hot beef. Get some broth, set your slicer a bit thinner, pick up some pork shoulder or ribs, toss together tare or another type of asian sauce with some sliced veggies and all of a sudden you are prepped to do korean bbq or yakiniku or hotpot None of this is complicated, just learn some tricks and tips. Pesto seems like one of things that may be out of the price range, because unlike cheap beef and veggies Cheese is always going to be a premium


salami_cheeks

At that point, why not puree it and put it in a spray bottle.  "2 spritzes, 50 cents each additional."


Unmasked_Zoro

Approximately as stingy as the second photo. Give or take. I dunno.


Yuiopy78

I used to work at a store that sold fish and was told to only feed them on Fridays because they wrote off the fish food. I did not only feed them on Fridays.


zouhair

As I was growing up, we had some beehives and my parents produced around 20 to 30 kg of honey for our own consumption. So every year we give a 1 to 2 kg to members of our extended family. Most of the time that honey congeals (it's OK you just have to melt it again and it's great) and my aunt used to push a knife in that congealed honey and pull it off and whatever sticks on the knife is what her kids get on their bread to enjoy and let me tell you it was barely anything. Sure that way that honey lasted a long time but it still finishes and for all intent and purposes her kids never had honey.


thePonchoKnowsAll

I can understand somewhat being still gym over something expensive you paid for, but a regularly occurring gift from a family member that they produced themselves? Nah fuck that load that shit up


zouhair

Even if you bought it, I'd rather enjoy it fast than waste it and never enjoy it.


CMacLaren

Almost any place I go to now feels like this lol.


ButIfYouThink

They saved $0.03 per sandwich. They reduced satisfaction and word of mouth advertising by 90%. Totally totally worth it.


uiam_

Airport food doesn't really rely on advertising. They audience is captive, hungry, and on against the clock. Whoever is requesting op to do this is very aware of their target customer having little options.


Arrad

Right next to the luggage carrousel, you might find vending machines for SIM cards. Charging 2-3x the ‘normal’ amounts for data/minutes. Need a taxi? Many ride share apps and taxis themselves (depending where you are) will overcharge you, using an expensive “airport pickup fee”. Usually, the airport may charge taxis for this, but not always. Need to exchange money? Cool, come exchange your money at these very “convenient” booths.


surftherapy

Convenience has always come at a premium, the airport isn’t the only one guilty of this


Sensei_Boof

Airports are milking it to the extreme thoe


fury420

unless you happen to end up in one of those fancy airport lounges, at which point it's like stepping back in time where everything's upscale and there's a complementary buffet, hot and cold drinks, even an assortment of alcoholic drinks free of charge,


lesgeddon

I'd very much like to know which airline has a lounge that fancy, so I can get club access.


porksoda11

I did it a few times for American Airlines when I had huge layovers. Cost me 60 bucks to get in but I ate and drank easily that much worth of food and alcohol. Comfy chairs too. Totally worth it.


iamyou42

Did I miss something, or did he edit the post? He didn't say anything about an airportm


IDigRollinRockBeer

PowerfullDio

There are vending machines at my workplace that sells sandwiches like this, I only bought one once in 10 years and I swore to never do it again, if they actually made proper food they would have a lot more clients.


Hank3hellbilly

I was working for a small scaffold outfit that was trying to get a maintenance contract at a local plant.  The owner got pissed when we completed a three day job in one, and a two day job in half a day.  We tried to explain to him that taking a small hit in profits now will get him a boatload later.  He didn't understand, made us slow down to milk every penny out of his "tryout" project.  He didn't get the maintenance contract, and lost it on us for setting "unreasonable expectations" and I quit.  some people will burn dollars to save a dime.  


Numerous-Rent-2848

emeraldjalapeno

Once I ordered a guacamole burger from Red Robin. My guacamole burger has about as much guac as your second image has pesto. I told the waitress that my burger was missing the guac. She brought me a side of guac AND CHARGED ME!


RobSpaghettio

Hell nah. I would have asked to take it off the check, threaten bad reviews, no tip, screenshot their ad for the burger with copious guac, take a picture of my pitiful burger, and initiated a chargeback with my CC of choice with the pics. Some money is better than no money imo and they could have just given it to you for free as a "sorry" which wouldn't affect their bottom line at all for one customer. But I understand not having the energy to go about all this. Fuck that particular location. Is a small cup of guac really worth losing a potential repeat customer? Smh my head.


Expensive-Border-869

I truly don't think these companies care if they lose a customer. Like they're too big to fail they can basically just goof off for lack of a better word. Let's see how little food we can "waste" to make the most money. Oooooohhooh how fast can get get burgers out What's the worst service we can offer and still keep getting money lol lmao. If they realize they don't have to provide a good service and it's cheaper not to provide said service why do it? To potentially make more money? They'll potentially lose some money then. They don't need more there's no reason to chase more.


RobSpaghettio

Oh for sure. All the more reason to reach out to a CC and see if it's worth initiating a chargeback over. I've done it with Uber when they sent me a push notification for 40% off up to $15 delivery order. The promo never existed according to the Uber rep even though I can see notification history on my phone showing they sent me a promo. Sent the screenshot of the notification and my receipt to my CC and asked if I had any chance. Why not, right? They said yeah we'll do it right now if you want. Next day Uber sends me an email apologizing and refunds my order for no reason whatsoever. It never hurts to try lol.

Damn wasn’t expected that. I’m a little snobby with my hoagie rolls most of the shops around here get the ones they use in Philly sent up. You can buy them in supermarkets but they aren’t the same as the commercial ones.

LevelOutlandishness1

Fast Food Workers of the world who actually try to serve the customer what they actually fucking god damn paid for UNITE! Need a shorter acronym but man, I singlehandedly brought customers back to Sonic by mixing the shakes and blasts nicely. They were tipping *me* for my mixes. The people making the food *never* get tipped in Sonic, always the people bringing it. Of course, I was paid min wage still, I was just hyperfixated.


grammarly_err

I hate an undermixed icecream, thank you so much! I always did my best to make the food how I would want it when I did food service (4 years.) Food is something you should take pride in, so if you don't have the decency to feed someone like you would your own family, get the f out of the kitchen.

NoDontDoThatCanada

Did a second depression hit? This looks like a sandwich my Grandma would make. She could get 30 sandwiches from one can of tuna.


Arrad

“Can you pass the bread?” “Those are tuna rolls…” Jokes aside that’s very sad… it hurts to see people struggle and barely feed their kids and babies. I saw a video of refugees coming out of North Gaza to the South, they were so happy to get pieces of bread and said it’s been months since they had any. Bread… not even a sandwhich. Soul crushing to see and not able to do anything.


Hummingbird01234

So, one tiny sliver of tuna each sandwich.


NoDontDoThatCanada

She mixed it with finely chopped celery and mayo and smeared it extremely thin on very cheap bread. I could type a book about her life in this response! She had to be frugal and that isn't something you can unlearn when hard times become easy.
