Before I get to the story about what a Jimmy John’s employee did to a police officer I want to just say that Jimmy John’s are to sandwiches as Yugos are to cars.
Do people understand that the quality of a sandwich hangs in the balance of how good the bread is?
What the hell is this thing encapsulating the bland meats in this Jimmy John’s sandwich?
Is it that people don’t have the strength to bite through a crusty baguette, and they prefer to gum through a giant hot dog roll?
(And the “Italian” sub is a travesty. It has MAYO ON IT!!!!!)
Okay, forget all that.
Jimmy John’s employee refuses to serve police officer
Oh good. I’m not the only one who thinks JJ’s is overrated. Not a lot of choices on their menu either. Meh.
JJ does kinda suck. Not as badly as Subway, but still.
As far as the cop goes, I wouldn’t have served him either. Cops are assholes in general, and (looking at it from the business owner’s point of view) if they’re harrassing my drivers then they’re hurting my business.
Of course, this is probably just going to cause even more harrassment of my drivers, but, like I said, cops are assholes.
Jommy Jihn’s Sindwaches…never heard of them.
JJ’s sucks. They opened one nearby a few months ago and there is never a line. There is a Firehouse Subs less than a 1/4 mile away and it is packed at lunch time. Of course, my double secret, dive po’boy joint is always packed. JJ’s is more on par with shitty Subway and not a value, at all.
Jommy Jihn’s Sindwaches? Never heard of them.
sorry about the double
Never heard of JJ. Must be a big city thing. I like mayo on a sub.
Never been there. Never intend to go. Just looking at their prices makes me dizzy. For gosh sakes – it’s a sandwhich. I’m more than capable of making one of my own – thank you very much.
The only sandwich we ever buy is a sub at one of our local grocery stores. Mainly because the crusty french loaf they bake themselves is delicious. And it’s HUGE – all for $6.98. Two of us can eat on it for three days.
I make my own sandwiches, on homemade Italian rolls with Boar’s Head meats and deli cheese. And in the summer with homegrown tomatoes.
Any of our local police or ems guys want to come by, I’d make them a sandwich, too.
Police and FireEMS levies are the only ones I consistently vote for.
We’ve had to use EMS services for Mrs. Mxyzptlk three times in the last couple months, and all those guys are great.
Firehouse is awesome.
harbqll. Assholes are like opinions, everyone has one.
My home team clobbered the Mets again today. Gee I thought the mets were supposed to be a great ball club.

A sandwich in EDINA? Didnt think anyone in Edina ate sandwiches. Thought they only ate cake.
Cops can eat for free and get a rent-free apartment in the town my kid patrols in. You don’t like cops, call somebody else when you get into trouble. They are generally good for business and keep the low lifes away.
P.S. and they are still looking for new recruits.
Latanzio’s a mom & pop shop here where I live. Friendly good value and and great sandwiches.
Not much of a restaurant but the sandwich price & quality is best in the area. Boars Head and hard or soft ATV daily baked local rolls. Not open on Sundays or any Christian American holiday.
I’ve found that all chain stores do not compare. My suggestion is to find a mom & pop shop in your local area.
Seriously, Firehouse? Overpriced Subway if you ask me.
Gimme a NY deli pastrami on a water roll or sausage, peppers and onions from an independent sub shop any day….
Prayers for Mrs. Mxyzptlk. Hope she is doing much better.
Sub shops, good or bad, are off my list of places to eat. I don’t eat bread or other refined carbs because they give me a planet-sized Mooch butt and thunder thighs. Then it’s squats til Doomsday to get rid of the Mooch effect. Just throw me a chunk of nearly raw red meat and all is well.
There appears to be a JJ’s in the closest town. ‘Appears’ because I never see any sign of life in or around the place.
Local place in Chicago makes the best Polish Rye in the world and they ship it in small batches to a local store near me. Load it up with beef pastrami or ham or roast beef. Fresh veggies from the garden and fry an egg from the backyard chickens for a topper when extra hungry. Baby swiss or havarti with some peppercinis .. mmmm, Okay well I’m hungry.
BREAKING- Long-time Boxist now also a Mayoist
I’ve been sitting on the interstate for the past two days waiting for them to show up and bring my sammich!
With Mayo!!!!
I was stopped for speeding (long time ago) by an Edina cop. He was so sickeningly nice – I just wanted him to give me the dang ticket and shut up. Of course, I did NOT say that! I was young, not stupid!
This is probably a good time to go rob a JJ’s. Guessing the police response time will be a bit delayed
Let’s do another settled scientific internet poll to see how popular JJ sandwiches are! Can’t decide anything of value without doing a poll!
….. until you need one.
Italian subs are best with creamy Italian dressing.
Yup. Around here, Publix Deli’s subs are in the top five.
My friend owned a sub shop. He went from a large shirt to a 6X in ten years.
To much cheese and Mayo.
I’ve been meaning to try them, but after this? No chance in hell.
If I ever do, they won’t be around until it’s too late. When they do show up, they’ll just fuck things up and make the situation worse.
Cops are useless assholes. They became cops so they could get power they can legally abuse. Overgrown schoolyard bullies, every last one of them. I wouldn’t piss on a cop if he was on fire.
Saw a Yankee get kicked out of Central Grocery muffuletta shop in NOLA for insisting they put mayo on a muffuletta, the crowed shop all applauded.
As a former LAw Enforcement Officer, Hrbqll, let me share with you a simple fact…
Without cops, you would have been dead a long time ago…PERIOD.
Imagine a society without law and order…
You are entitled to your opinion, and I respect that.
And in my opinion, based on your comments, you are obviously a stupid little unemployed, uneducated, pot-smoking, law-breaking, sack of puppy shit, and I hope someday you get your ass seriously kicked and all you can do is scream because those “asshole cops” won’t help you.
And just how much do you expect to walk away with? Pocket change?
Sparkious,
“Imagine a society without law and order…”
What? You think that makes you a necessity in civilized life? I disagree. If every LEO (to differentiate from Peace Officers) in America were to disappear, life and society would go on without you and your LEO Brothers In Blue.
Sure, there would be some turmoil at first, some mistakes make, but the good citizens of wherever you’re from would find the balance point, AND BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, without your statist interference and thuggery.
