This was pretty WTF to me, since I go to Subway all the time and have never had this problem (not even the previous times I was at this particular Subway ( Read more... )

3 olives is actually the real rule, but nobody ever follows it.

That's nowhere near enough to taste them! Who came up with that stupid rule??

coconut_theory July 17 2009, 15:00:42 UTC

I know! That's like, the dumbest rule ever!

makeit_sincere July 17 2009, 15:01:03 UTC

Maybe it's like... 3 WHOLE olives, they'd have like 3 or 4 sliced up bits, right? That should be the real rule.

I keep thinking of sliced olives as washers, lol.

coconut_theory July 17 2009, 15:05:14 UTC

That would make more sense. Still not enough olives for me, though!

I thought of this, but... no offense to people who work at Subway or any minimum wage job, but I don't know if many people know how many slices would make a whole olive. I mean, the only way I know is because my favorite meal involves sliced olives, and back before I became amazingly lazy they sold sliced olives I used to have to slice my own. The rule would either need to be written as 'the equivalent of three sliced olives' which is just awkward and assumes too much! 'Nine to twelve sliced pieces' would make more sense, but then where would we get the 'three' number from?

yeah, I'm putting too much thought into this...

Yep. Agreed. Well, our rule was 2 for a 6 inch, 4 four a footlong. They're supposed to be a "garnish". On the inside of a sandwich.
