I have eaten my share of pre-packaged sandwiches.
Here is my best advise: Don't get those prepacked gas station / convenience store ones, go to a 24 hour supermarket. Then you know where they are made, when they were made, and much higher quality meats and cheese straight from their deli.

The ingredients are the shit they can't sell otherwise. The rejects. The deli stuff that's too old to sell, the wilted salad greens, the dried up cheese, the slimy meats, the condiments that are past their best before date so can't be sold.

do you honestly think every deli gets away with selling product beyond their due date? if so you, are a very naive person. there are rules and regulations to prevent this sort of thing happening. Maybe a privately owned deli could get away with something like that for a short period of time, but any corporately owned deli would fire their staff for trying to pawn off expired food. I've worked in deli's and restaurants alike, and despite what you may think this type of stuff does not fly.

my sides. I worked at subway. Pro-tip: don't go to subway. Failing that, don't get meatball marinara. Shit sits in lukewarm sauce all day for 3 days usually, its only refrigerated at night. You're supposed to throw out meats at the end of the day, but we would keep deli meats for 2-3 days most of the time. Stay away from breads that aren't popular.

The hospital where I'm working now has some good sandwiches. I think it's because all the lunch ladies are granny types, so they put sweet corn and lettuce in the chicken and bacon sandwiches at no extra cost of you ask them.

A place close to me used to sell two hotdogs in a package for $1.00, I'd get that, unwrap it, use their microwave, and some of their mustard packets on them. Natural casing hotdogs too.

This, 1000%. Gluten can be hard to avoid in processed food, but why are you eating that overpriced crap anyway? It's easy as hell to avoid if you simply buy raw ingredients and cook for yourself. Meat, vegetables, fruit, poultry, seafood of any kind, legumes, nuts, and dairy products are all naturally gluten-free.

THAT REMINDS ME.

Shit, I'm taking time out of essay writing to write this but.. here goes.

I started working at this extremely shitty call centre selling raffle tickets for the RSPCA (Australian Charity). I was cold-calling households and saying "Hi, are you an animal lover? Oh you've got dogs? What kind of dogs do you have?"... etc. Absolutely soul draining. But I needed money.

Anyway on one of my breaks I decided to go off by myself and stop by this hole-in-the-wall chinese place. I never eat Chinese it seems to be shitty in Australia so I thought I'd give this one a go as it was really cheap... I ended up getting sweet and sour chicken (I think) and crumbed calamari, or something like that, with rice. It was horrible... bones and ligaments everywhere in the chicken, I had to pick most of it out. The sauce was overpowering and horrible. I felt sick before I'd even finished it. But I ate it.

Anyway I didnt see any bottles of water around and I was very thirsty from the shitty sweet chicken so I asked if I could have a cup of water. The Chinese lady pointed to the bottles of water that you buy, I didnt want those and so I specified I wanted a cup of water. So she came back with a plastic container with water in it. A PLASTIC CONTAINER! I shit you not! Like, a "tupperware" as Americans call it. I looked down at it and felt very sad. Sitting in this shithole chinese place on my work break, lonely. I looked across from me and this fat middle aged lady looked at me and raised her eyebrows.

Anyway that might seem like a bit of an anti-climax but I was really saddenned/offended.

Current Subway employee here. I've worked at 4 different ones in the area and we always throw away our foods if they're past date.

>Meatballs sit in the pan for 2-3 days

Wrong. Maybe the meatballs weren't so popular at your shitty, corner-cutting stores. But we go through 2-3 pans a day here.

>You're supposed to throw out meat at the end of the day

That's just bullshit and wasteful. If you cooked up a fresh pot of meatballs in your own kitchen would you throw the entire uneaten portion away or stick it in the fridge for the next day, knowing it would still be good to eat? Would you throw away an entire package of turkey because you didn't eat the entire pack in one day? No, and neither does Subway because that is goddamn retarded. We throw away what is old and unsuitable to serve, not what is perfectly good to eat just because it was in the fridge overnight.

The only depressing purchase I can think of was the one time I bought a subway sandwich with only bacon, ham and cheese on it. They don't load the son of a bitch with meat or anything, so it felt flat (compared to meatball subs, which are pretty much my staple when I DO go to Subway). The only reason I ordered it was because I was too fucking lazy to head home and make one myself.

That said, I'm fairly sure this pales in comparison to you guys' stories. Convenience store sandwiches, seriously?

For me, it's also convenience store sandwiches. You're poor, mom's not home, she gave you 2 bucks, you're hungry, what can you do?

Also, another for me is microwave lasagna. I remember that when I was 9, we were at the store and I chose microwave lasagna for some reason and that was fine. However, at the checkout line, there was that one "newspaper" that in big bold letters said, "WORLD BEING DESTROYED BY ASTEROID SOON." Of course I thought it was real. So when I got home, I microwaved it, but apparently not long enough. Anyway, I was eating the lasagna even though it was cold in some parts while thinking about how I didn't want to die and how I was only just 9. I also thought about how my family would all die too. It was really fucked up now that I remember it.

I know this post is from 2 days ago, but my friend and I wanted to go to this place we usually go for some real good mexican food but it was closed for building renovation. We went down to this street and went some Chinese buffet. Now I don't mind buffets in general, I've been to decent ones (at least moneys worth), but this one was terrible. All the food was cold (my friend was positive that they were using just florescent lights instead of actual heat lamps), the chow mien they had was literally used spaghetti noodles, and everything was stale.

It was the first time in years that I was really really disappointed eating somewhere, probably because it was the first place I ate at that wasn't recommended or at least Google'd before settling. I'm just glad I didn't go in the bathroom there, because apparently one of the reviews said their was shit smeared on the wall when they went.

Sat solitary in his bedsit with the air as stale as the bread in his reduced-to-clear supermarket sandwich, Steven Reed's glassy-eyed stare was fixed on the non-operational television. His eyes were sunken into his face, with dark circles around each vacant socket and skin sagging on his haggard face.

Chin and jaw, both bristling with uneven stubble, quivered as he held back the sobs that made his chest ache. Outside was a sunny world, with smiling people and happy hearts. Someone like him, an offender, didn't belong out there.

No, this damp hovel, broken and delapidated, mirrored his body and soul. His ventures out were brief. It took him hours to build up the courage to go out. And always there would be something that would knock down his fragile psyche and send him scuttling back to his abode like a frightened crustacean.

He caught the can of chill in his line of sight at the supermarket. The brand sent him back to those days of presenting that small college cookery show. The students mocking him had been bad enough. The staff? Worse. But it was out there on the internet, on the you tube and shared over the face books.

He thought of that chilli, and the things he could make to it. It could feed three to six people. He didn't know one other person who'd want to eat with him. And as he took a bite of that front-loaded sandwich, wilted salad and fatty, flavourless meat? He dropped the sandwich back into the flimsy container it came in.

He didn't even want to eat with himself.
