Today's rant is brought to you by Jason's Deli. So today my co-workers decide that they want to go to lunch...and they invite me to go with. I will start out by saying that I am one of the pickiest eaters ever. My diet consists of about 5 things and none of them are green. SO...I tag along. Upon arriving I am greeted by someone asking me if they can take my order. I casually ask them if the serve grilled cheese, and in an excited tone they assure me that they do. I promptly order myself a grilled cheese and a beverage. I am then asked what kind of bread I would like and I reply with white. This question is followed with what kind of cheese would I like. I ask for my list of options and they kindly rattle off about 10 different cheese. Being the purist, a.k.a. picky eater, that I am, I opt for American cheese. I am then told that my total is $9.16. Wait. Did you say $9.16? For a grilled cheese and a drink? Well, I pay the ransom for the safe return of my sandwich, but still feel iffy about the cost. Who knows, maybe it is a gourmet sandwich? Or possibly the most mammoth piece of molten cheese to ever get slapped between two pieces of bread?
Finally my sandwich arrives. Wait a minute...what is this? I find myself staring dumbfoundedly (is that really a word?) at a black square with what look like grill marks across it. I pick it up to inspect it and sure enough, there is the faint sight of orange, melted goodness. I was worried that I got the wrong order. I slowly bring this charred mess to my mouth, maybe I should hold my nose? Well, here goes nothing. UGH! This is by far the worst AND most expensive grilled cheese sandwich that I have ever had the displeasure of eating. Do you know what a charred, black mess tastes like? It tastes exactly how it sounds...terrible! Who would've thunk that a classic sandwich could be ruined? On a positive note, the soda was very refreshing.
Upon returning to work, I remembered that I had the receipt! Well lets take a looky and see how this breaks down. $1.99 for a soda? Well no wonder it was so expensive. It was a large, rather refreshing soda, so okay. That still leaves 6 and change for a sandwich. So the "sandwich" itself costs $6.29. That is a rather high fee for a black sandwich. I take another glance and notice that i was charged 28¢ for cheese. I understand that 28¢ is not a large sum of money, but.... I ordered a grilled CHEESE sandwich. CHEESE is right there in the title, yet I still have to pay for said cheese. This also means that I paid roughly $6.00 for 2 pieces of bread. And not just any bread, the blackest, most charred piece of bread I have ever had.
So I guess to recap I can say... Fuck You Jason's Deli. This was by far one of the worst dining experiences of my life. I will also say that I am one of the easiest people to please, so if I complain, it is bad! Fuckin' hippies ruining my lunch.
