Is it just me, or is subway the only restaurant that doesn't put out napkins anywhere in their restaurants? The ketchup thread reminded me that I though of this the other day. They put 2 or 3 in your little bag, but there are no others anywhere in any subway I've ever been in. Is this some secret money saving solution for Subway? Sometimes my sandwich artist get's a little to liberal with the mayo and mustard and I need napkins!

Now you got a point here. Subway and their napkin policy is absurd. It's exponentially fricked up if you have kids with you.

It's stupid, but it's something I've noticed recently. There's a subway next to my office I eat at a lot. And a few near my house. Every single one has no napkins available. I started paying attention and noticed it at pretty much all of them.

I worked at a takeout place in college and the owner would get pissy if you put more than 2 ketchups per order of fries unless the asked for more. Always thought it was really tightwad of him. I figured they were doing the same with napkins, which just seems absurd.

I was a sandwich artist for my first job as a 16 year old. If I remember correctly, they told us to give 1 napkin for a 6" and 2 for a footlong. They were stingy AF. The owner would always fuss at me for giving more than 3 vegetable pieces too.

The Subway in LaPlace is legit. Must be b/c they're all franchised out as low as 1 store per owner. Some are much nicer than others.

I'd describe mine as more of a Jackson Pollock.

One more reason to stay away from that garbage.

1. Was for a long time represented by a child molester
2. Is now a standard part of Walmart

You need more than two or three napkins to eat a sandwich?

I will watch people at some of these fast food restaurants pick up a stack of napkins, 20 or 30 of them. WTF

You need as many napkins as you need, particularly if you order a meatball sub. Those things are the messiest thing you can get anywhere outside of boiled crawfish.

Can confirm.
Also got in trouble once for giving my buddy 2 extra meat balls on a sub before.
Owner was watching the cameras from his house at the time.

I'm sure other places do it too, but like once or twice a month, someone from corporate would come in disguised and test you. You wouldn't know unless someone told you or you did something wrong.

whenever I worked the same shift as my manager, I'd do everything by the book and people would give me weird looks like "That's all the meat/vegetables I get..?"

If a busy fast food restaurant gave away an extra pack of ketchup to every customer, it would waste almost a case a day. Given that a case of the dip ketchup costs about $30 bucks, that would add up to over 10k in a year. If you were a business owner you wouldn't feel the same way
