Fuck this shitty overpriced shithole.
I just got off work today at 6:30 starving from not eating anything all day (all I had was orange juice and water).
Being sick of the shitty restraunts and fast food that are nearby work or on the way home from work I decided to go out of my way to some new overpriced plaza and get some not-so-fast-food (which is usually a bit healthier as well).
So I decided to give Togos a try, I've never eaten there and don't plan to. So I go in their crappy store which smelled like mold or sticky old trash (or both). And noticed its one of those shitty half stores where they have a Baskin Robbins on one side of the place and Togos on the other, Fuck that.
After painstakingly looking through the ridiculously vague menu that only has big ass pictures and some minor descriptions with little or no prices listed anywhere and nothing on the menu says the size of and sandwiches or anything either. (Its really amazing to me how a menu can take up a whole 200-300 sq. ft. wall or whatever and still not list everything.)
I decided to go for the Sierra Steak sandwich (or whatever the fuck it was called). So I ask the guy how much it is and he doesn't even know and has to check the computer and tells me its 5.99$, to which I reply "for what a 6 inch? or what?". Now normally I would just leave right then because I'm not gonna pay a dollar an inch for some crappy sandwich, but since I was starving and I have a soft spot in my heart for all things spicy I tell him to give me one and a large soup of broccoli cheddar while hes at it.
So then the other guy starts to make my food and tells me I can get an "Endless Combo" (I figure they mean the shitty food and prices are endless.), to which I reply "Sure, Whatever is cheaper for me man" and he says "Ok". Then I see that the 'endless combo' is the same price as just the sandwich. So you can get your sandwich and a salad or a soup with it. So I'm thinking, wow thats what I want. Its practically a free soup after all, score.
So I stand there for about 3-4 minutes while he builds my sandwich and a bunch of snotty little kids run around and bitch to their lazy mom about getting ice cream. It still smells like mold or some shit too. While the other teenage workers are helping each other hold ice cream scoops and playing grab ass or whatever the fuck Togos workers do. "We're big boys" is what I heard one of them say to their acne scarred boss as he left.
As hes making it I noticed there was some addon combo deal thing for chips and a soda but no price so I ask him what that is, if its part of the endless combo or what. Then he asks the head retard in the back and replies to me that its for some DVD or something. Wtf? So I say fuck it, its not worth even trying to figure out at this point.
So the sandwich is done and the guy grabs my soup and has to take a shit break or something and tells the other loser to finish with my order/payment. He takes my card and says to my surprise "11.94$" and I go "Wtf, no its 5.99. I got the endless combo" So now they are back there arguing about what I ordered when I just told them what I ordered. This gives me a some time to look at the wall and try to piece together the jigsaw puzzle menu and figure out what I ordered, what they charged me for, and how ridiculous their pricing works. Apparently a Regular soup is 2.49 (8oz.) and a Large is 2.99 (12oz.) and a Bread bowl soup is 4.49 (12oz.). (Thats cool a shitty soggy piece of bread for your bowl for an extra 2 bucks! sign me up!)
Next, these jack asses are telling me what I ordered and that the endless combo is a regular soup and a 4 inch sub. So there I am wondering how that 2 extra inches of a sub and 4 more Ounces of soup cost $5.50++. Seriously, wtf?
Finally, I tell them to just give me the 'endless combo' like I ordered. So now the dumb ass is mad and slaps my card down on the counter and says in a scornful manner "Fine, Its gonna take a while.". Then I'm like, "Can't you just take it out of what you already made?" He replies, "No, its a totally different thing".
Irritated as hell myself I finally realize they are probably gonna remake it shitty as hell and not just fucking give me what they already made. I decide to leave. A big "Fuck it, I'm out of here." comes out of my mouth as I grab my card and walk out of that stinkhole.
EPILOGUE:
My logic is that they just lost 11.94$ for no reason when they could have at the very least scrapped it and saved some of the profit. But no, they have to be some dumb shit kids with rich snob crappy attitudes who work at Togos cause daddy made them so they can 'learn responsibility'. They were probably happy I left the food so they could eat it themselves for free. I had the food in my hand before he took my card, I should have just walked out with it.
I never planned to eat at Togos ever, they were lucky I was hungry today to even give them a chance at all. I don't ever plan to in the future either. Fuck this shitty overpriced shithole.

Subway is decent quality albeit a bit overpriced. BTW why did you go so long without eating? Sounds unhealthy and unpleasant.
|
I like the photoshops.

Togo's sucks

+ Show Spoiler +I can't tell you how bad your standards are if you think Subway is bad

I get up late and skip breakfast, rush to work and forget about eating until about 5ish then I realize I haven't eaten all day and decide to wait an hour and a half to go eat somewhere else good when I get off work.

Hahah Charlie that sucks 
Go to Subway next time; I spend 8 bucks for large drink + footlong Subway Club with all the good toppings 
Togo's literally sucks though; I wasted ten bucks for nothing when I tried it. At least my cashier wasn't playing grab ass or w/e -_-
|
togos suck. quiznos suck.
only subway
|
I have only once ever been disappointed with subway, and that was no fault of theres, office order, someone got my steak and cheese sub un-toasted. I cried through every bite.
|

Yea, but even if I wasn't this shit is still overpriced for its worth in quality.
Even beyond that its 5.99$ for a 4 inch sub and a 8 oz soup yet its 11.94 for a 6 inch sub and a 12 oz soup. Who the fuck creates this menu? Seriously, I can even buy 2 of the 5.99 combos and get 8 inches and 16oz and its the same price.

1) Skipping breakfast is bad.
2) Skipping lunch is bad.
If something like this happens once in a while then I can understand, but you make it sound like you choose to do this. You don't get a lunch break?

Great pics. Too bad you didn't grab the food and just walk out. What I did one time was eat the food, then tell the people I wasn't satified (like I was really acting mad and shit), and got a refund.

Thanks mom This is your blog so you call the shots, but you completely ignored my question. I can only guess that you are intentionally avoiding answering it because you know the obvious response already.
BTW people won't feel the need to act like your mother when you take care of yourself :-/

Local delis > chain places any day. i'll go outta my way to go to one. Usually cheaper and always better food.
Although Quiznos makes for a good substitute. Subway is a fucking joke.

As if anyone cares so much as to lie/dodge the question of their diet on the internet. Please.

Oh yea and if anyone cares, I just ended up walking across the parking lot and eating at shitty Del Taco again.
|
This blog post sounds like a bad Maddox piece
|
Subway gives you like 2 slices of meat in each sandwich, if you go to togo's just get the turkey and avocado, its packed with meat and good. Dutch crunch bread ftw.
|
togo's is pretty pricey but their stuff tastes good imo. Subway is considerably cheaper, but doesn't taste as good. But if i had a choice i'd always go with mcd's if it was available, dollar menu is the best shite ever if you want to be cheap. cheapness ftw its awesome.
|
McDonalds? wtf they stole the 99 cent menu idea from Wendy's, whos had their 99 cent menu since I was born and has 100% better food. Not only that but they are such dicks they can't even at least match the 99 cent price and make it a dollar to squeeze as much money as possible.
|
Damn you're a smart one, whining about the place before you even buy anything, complaining, saying it sucks, yet you still go ahead and get it. I wish I had your brains, Charlie. What are you, 14 years old? Cause that's what you remind of.

Ganfei, When I saw the last reply in the thread was you- before even reading it I knew it was going to be negative, but we still give you a try don't we?

I didn't remember much about the guy so I checked my blog and saw that he was in the list of people that have posted in my blog (where you can ban) so for a goof I found his post, and of course it was the most negative and unhelpful of all the posts (save a few completely useless posts that are harmless).

Quiznos has to be the most overrated sandwich shop ever. "Toasty" really means luke warm with microwaved meats. And the prices are as expensive as Togos.
Subway isn't great, but the $3.99 lunch specials are definitely worth the price.
Jimmy Johns #16 is my sandwich of choice.

Sucks for you. They only do cold cuts but they're pretty big and the jalapeño chips are fucking amazing, and if you're actually low on cash you can pick up a loaf of bread for like 99 cents or something. Plus they're open till like 3AM on college campuses. o.O

Oh, well that explains why HonkHonk is such a stupid fucknut. It's ganfei!

And I stand by my original claim: go to independent places instead. They know they have major competitions, so they will usually bust their ass to make sure youre happy. And suually, the food is better =]

Well yeah, delis are #1 but they're hard to come by. :/
|
You guys live in the sticks or something, there's plenty of em out here in jersey
|
I tried some new place recently also called JerseyMike's and they recommended a pretty good sub (but it was grossly overpriced). Also previously before my Togo's experience I tried this place called Z pizza and It was 100% worse than this experience because I had a coupon that was misleading and the worker there didnt understand it either and further mislead and lied to me and proceeded to write 'IDIOT MAN' under the place where it says customer name.
