PREGNANT WOMAN MAD AT SUBWAY

An expectant mom named Kassidy Small ordered a sandwich at a local Subway restaurant. She asked for a footlong ham, and also politely asked that the sandwich artist microwave the meat before toasting the sandwich. Small was trying to follow Center for Disease Control guidelines, which recommend that pregnant women only eat deli meat if it’s heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Farenheit, to steer clear of bacteria (like listeria) that could cause harm to the baby. The Subway sandwich artist told her he could just toast it for her, which meant she had to explain again that she was pregnant and needed it microwaved first. Small wrote on Facebook: “He completely ignored my request, made my sandwich, added cheese (which he didn’t even ask if I wanted), and threw it in the toaster. He said that there are 20 people in line and he has already made 90 sandwiches today. He then said ‘THIS IS FAST FOOD, NOT FINE DINING!’ He also attempted to prove that the meat was hot enough by pulling out a thermometer. He was completely out of line, rude, and belittling my request that was in the best interest for my unborn baby.” Small and another woman left the restaurant without food. “I was in tears and that’s embarrassing in public. It’s easy for a pregnant woman to cry but I was also upset because of what just happened.”
* I would bet she left without hearing the applause of those 20 other people in line.
* If only she had been craving pickles and ice cream instead of Subway.
* You know the sad thing? After the fiasco with Subway’s spokesman Jared, this story comes off as good news.
* “This is fast food. Not fine dining.” Well, you can’t argue with the kid there.
* Did I say “the kid”? Excuse me … the sandwich artist.
* I’ve heard artists are temperamental … but sandwich artists?
* I disagree with her on one point. He didn’t completely ignore her request. Otherwise she wouldn’t have gotten the trash-talking.
* If she’s so concerned about her unborn child, she might consider upgrading to a better menu.
* I’ve got your hot meat right here.
