Quote:

An Orlando, Florida Subway sandwich shop was the site of a confrontation over ketchup that escalated to a 911 call and an employee firing. Luis Martinez stopped for a Philly cheesesteak at Subway located within a Walmart and asked Lawrence Ordone for his sandwich with American cheese, onions and ketchup. It was the last ingredient that led to a dispute. Ordone, the Subway sandwich artist, told Martinez they do not carry ketchup. Angry words and obscenities were exchanged and Ordone, after feeling there could be a possible gun threat, moved from behind the counter to block Martinez from leaving. Martinez asserts that Ordone then threatened to kill him, which Ordone denies. Martinez called 911 and by the time police arrived the employee had already left. Ordone was later fired from Subway. There were no physical injuries and no arrests were made but police may refer the case to the State Attorney’s Office to determine if Ordone will be prosecuted.

Sandwich artists....
:roll:

Things like this happen because things like 'cheesesteaks' exist

Whatwhatwhat?!?

What kind of moron reacts to a possible gun threat by obstructing the individual who might have the weapon?

The same kind of moron who takes offense when someone mentions the word "ketchup".

It's a Subway in a Florida Wal-Mart, they have security cameras, they can figure out what happened.

I'm surprised they don't have ketchup, while it's not standard to put it on a Philly Cheesesteak as prepared, some people, put it on as a regular topping.

BTW, Purists in Philly get upset if you have anything other than Cheese-Whiz on it.

Whatever became of, "The Customer is Always Right?" That guy went ballistic over ketchup? :roll: Why couldn't he just say that they didn't carry ketchup, and offer to keep the sandwich hot while the customer purchased ketchup from the store, if that was what the cashier thought he should do, instead of getting vulgar and confrontational?

I should try that just to see. It's too salty by itself but might be good like that. I am not totally adverse to the idea. I like cheese fries and stuff like that and it has something somewhat similar to CW on it.
