Subway to Tessellate Cheese? - Neatorama

For years, people have complained about the way that Subway places the cheese wedges on their sandwiches. This is best explained by a 2007 comic from Left Handed Toons. As we suspected, it was a policy designed to encourage customers to order extra cheese. However, what looks to be an internal memo from Subway Down Under hints that this policy might be changed effective July first. Link

I think now that this change is taking place, I will celebrate by ordering extra cheese... under the meat, and on top of it, for maximum cheesy goodness!

Curses! Only Australia and NZ? Oh well, I shall inform my sister of the good news. Well, they usually are the testing grounds for franchise changes, I hope all goes well.

Mm love subway. I usually skip the cheese (and mayo) though.

I had Subway two days ago (Sunday, NZ time) and they did this. I couldn't believe that something brought up on a social news site had actually made it into reality.

Glad it did, tho'.

i work at a subway and in 3 years have never been told how to place the cheese. i've done it both ways

Hate to break it to you guys but my subway has always done it this way. for many many years.

I think it's more "busy employees" than "force people to buy more cheese."

and let's face it, the "new" way looks a lot better and more professional and it gets the cheeze more coverage.

It is very appropriate, too, that this was posted on the day that the US honors its heroes.

I'm in Tennessee and I noticed my regular Subway started doing this last week. I was so happy.

I'm sad.

You know after you take a bite and chew it, it all ends up in the same place right - irregardless of how it was laid out on the sub.

Havng worked at Subway during the "have it your way" years - employees did really did not give a crap about "formula". And customers would always bitch about how they wanted you to make their sandwich anyways.

You know that irregardless isn't a word, right? :)

@Helenann

Only for the hopelessly mundane is that true.

@Vonskippy

Sure, that's true but I wouldn't want all the cheese at one end and all the meat at the other. What sort of stupidness is that?
