I have always loved Blimpies, but this is one place that totally turned me off. The couple of times I came here, whenever I ordered a cold sub, they never got it right. Either they missed two (or sometimes more) ingredients, or they completely botched the toppings, (as well as not knowing the difference between sweet peppers - which I wanted, and hot peppers - which I didn't want) omitting numerous ones I wanted, and sadly didn't discover until after I got home, and putting a slather of mayo, (which is a sin on an Italian sub) which I didn't order. Clearly these people have absolutely no clue as to how to make subs, -- or listen to an order. I made the mistake of giving them a second chance, and wound up on the wrong end of an attempted overcharge. Even with 6 1/2+ percent sales tax, there is no way that a $5.29 sandwich (as listed on the menu board) should cost OVER $6! This is because the machine registered the sandwich at $5.79! (Before tax). I didn't hesitate to walk out immediately after confronting the counterman about this dishonest practice, and left without paying, nor taking the sandwich, leaving it right there on counter. Maybe they have since remedied the situation, but it is too late for this customer. I will not return to this...
Read moreIt’s a convenience store w/a Blimpie’s counter inside. Clerk doesn’t wash his hands unless requested & he’ll be upset if you do, & argue that it’s unnecessary while doing so slows his business. Says wearing gloves is sufficient. Yet he puts gloves on w/the same (unwashed) hands used to handle the register, cash, lotto tix, scan retail items, etc., & his gloves are not always new. Add, the glass is covered so you can’t see the food you’re being served, nor what toppings are available, what condition it’s in, etc. He spent so much time debating over the hand washing issue, he forgot all the requested sandwich toppings. So we went home with bland sandwiches AND wondering how clean the food was kept before it was served to us. Eat at your own risk.
I gave 2 stars instead of 1 b/c the overall store looks is kept clean. However, Blimpie’s & the Board of Health needs to train their clerks on the importance of hand washing when serving food, especially...
