You said you were going to do take out but once you have ordered there is nothing they can do if you change your mind.

As someone who once worked in a place where people came in right before closing then stayed 30+minutes after closing, I completely understand the girls. I didn't get paid for anything past the end of my shift and they likely don't either so basically I had to sit unpaid watching people eat and over time you start to get pretty resentful. If they don't start putting anything away until after 8:00 then they won't be closed by 8:00. Lots of stores in the mall start bringing in clothing racks etc, they start the closing process before the exact closing time.

Thanks for the laugh. lol I'll give you the obnoxious comment though. Maybe I was obnoxious in insisitng they let me in. I dont think I was but I posed the question "was I wrong" because I am absolutley open to the possibility that I was. Thus, I wanted other people's opinion.

No I wasnt going to DIE without subway but I was pretty desparate. My son has training sessions that are 50 minutes from my house. The sessions are from 7:30 to 10pm. Usually I pack a dinner that he can eat on the way home since we dont get back home until 10pm. I was rushing and didnt have time yesterday so I decided to stop at subway since it's close to where he trains. So yeah, I was pretty desparate to get that subway sanchwich. We do not eat meat so other fast food places arent an option.

Typically I probably would have just kept it moving but because of the situation I really needed to get him a sandwich. When we leave his training we do pass a McDonalds on the way to the highway but none of their sandwiches would work for my son.

I wish there was a chipotle where we were, he loves that much more than subway!
