Subway discount, TGB?
I'm assuming that's not to get cheap underground transport.
I find the problem with Subway (the sandwich shop) is that you have to know the lingo before you go in. I very rarely use Subway, and always have to umm and erm when making my choice. The possible combinations must be astronomical in magnitude.
I'd like to go in and say my order in one coherent sentence, but I end up mumbling thus: 6" wholegrain..ham..cheese, and everything else...no wait, no olives...oh you don't do olives?...well that's OK...no mustard then" which takes me ages.
I feel bad about holding up the queue and also a bit daft not knowing the language. But the only way to learn it is to practice. It's a vicious circle.
I bring my own lunch most days!
