Pet Peeves That Shouldn't Be Pet Peeves

[killramos]

Pet peeve that shouldn’t be a pet peeve.

When you are in the liquor store standing there in front of a wine rack like an idiot as per usual, and the bored owner swings by and starts asking you all these questions about whether you liked this bottle or that bottle and whether this was a good year and what I know about the regions.

Listen Steve, I’m an alcoholic and I was just trying to figure out which bottle was cheapest.

RoFL!!!
Lemme give you a tip that's incredibly reliable for wino's. You pick the ones with the highest alcohol content. This inevitably and remarkably aligns with the best wines. Like, about 4600% more reliable stats than the gov't of Alberta's CoVid projections.
Consider Amarone as a simple example.

I like a wine store where they COULD talk to me about that stuff, but I need one where they won't. Luckily I ooze class, so they stay well away from me.

[killramos]

Yes, the wine store owner asking ME questions about the wine is amazingly awkward.

I do not want a shot of espresso, thanks.

“Real” cheddar on fast food burgers. Specifically A&W but I think some others have joined the bandwagon. If I was more motivated I would start a petition to bring back processed cheese

[ExtraSlow]

"real" cheddar is worse than processed if it's that shitty tasteless mild cheddar. Good sharp cheddar would be amazing, but of course costs more and melts slower so it's not a popular choice.

I have the same gripe about fast food swiss cheese. Fucking hell use better cheese or fuck off and just admit it's a slice of flavored oil. The in-between bullshit really enrages me.

Every once in a while I forgot how bad it is and stop in at subway.

The first warning sign should always have been that they want you to tell them what cheese you want... by color.

You say Swiss or cheddar and they look at you like you are from Mars.

I am game with not using processed cheese at A&W though. That shit gross.

[ExtraSlow]

three of four residents of my address think subway is fine dining.

[killramos]

Even Boston Pizza is better, and usually in the same towns.

Maybe a peg up on Tim Hortons food though. Maybe.

Unfortunately my wife likes it

I cannot stand Subway. I know COVID has been hard on businesses, by why couldn't those ones go out of business?

Isn’t the default white cheese also cheddar? I’ve always said orange cheddar the rare times I order subway because I assumed they would give me the white one if I just say ‘cheddar’

[killramos]

Whatever it is they are serving I’m pretty sure calling it cheddar is intentionally dishonest.

[ThePenIsMightier]

I quit on Subway a long time ago but it would often be available for work lunches so I'd sample sandwiches I'd never normally try. It's fun to gorge in free Subway, for whatever broken head reason and that grotesque sounding thing called the "BMT" was surprisingly good.

Everything about A&W and their bullshit "our food is better quality" marketing makes me sick. I wish I could slam their spokes-idiot's head in a car door.

If I have to eat at subway I just get a BLT loaded with mayonnaise.

I give them as little leeway to fuck up as possible.

[Buster]

mayo as an ingredient is okay. Mayo as a condiment is disgusting.

[03ozwhip]

Meh I like the cold cut with lots of "Fresh veggies" it's probably better than eating most other fast food? Right? Right?

100% agree. Fuck that shit. One time, I was eating a Wendy's burger, it had so much mayo on it, I took a bite, it squirted across the side of my face and I instantly imagined that's how chicks feel when they get a facial, warm and gooey....I threw it out and I don't eat mayo anymore.

[suntan]

Wendy's has weird mayo. It's very thin.

A&W has truly gotten better. The only problem is that it started from a very low base, so now it's 6/10. OTOH for a fast food burger it's mostly acceptable.

BMT at Subway is their only good sandwich. Everything else is heinous. And it has to be toasted.

Know the funny thing? They've materially improved the quality of their meat at least twice in the last 30 years.
