    I love this line of thinking, just stay home then. I'm sure business owners would agree with you.

    It's not that fucking hard to get an order correct.

    Although I am a proud son of NJ, source the of the world's best tomatoes, I have never been a tomato fan.

    That said, my issue is the year-round ubiquity of tomatoes, their throughout-the-calendar omnipresence.
    A fresh, ripe tomato, reasonably locally sourced, can be pretty enjoyable, but the year-round tomatoes used at all fastfood and most other restaurants, and sold at most markets, are vile.

    Oh, I agree. I'd rather have no tomato at all over a pinkish-white flavorless slice of slime.

    I grew up in a family that canned tomatoes so we'd have fantastic tomatoes year around. I really need to get back to canning tomatoes. We have so many we grow during the summer that we give them away.

    Agree completely ... and it's almost time for those great tomatoes to be ready.

    Subway in particular has tasteless, light red/white filler they put on sandwiches.

    My wife has a pretty successful strategy. Send your spouse to go pick it up and then if the order is wrong yell at him for not checking.

    My wife, bless her, made a food run on Sunday. She asked me my order, I told her three simple things: quesadilla with steak and black beans. I texted her my order and asked her to bring me some salsa on the side. She comes home, no side of salsa but whatever maybe the minions forgot to get it. Open my quesadilla: cheese and beans. That's it. Honestly I wasn't that miffed but I mentioned the lack of steak thinking again the morons screwed up the order. Turns out she didn't read my text and forgot the steak. It was an ok meal of cheese and beans.

    If you paid all of your spouses a better wage you'd attract better candidates.
