“I was at Jimmy Johns yesterday. We ordered 2 of the Vito sandwiches with all the freebies,(mayo,mustard, etc included) and only 2 hot peppers per sandwich. We can do spicy but not that spicy. The guy/gal at the window wasn’t very friendly when we requested our sandwiches be cut in half. So down the road we went only to find they didn’t cut them in half, they loaded both sandwiches with hot peppers, didn’t put any of the sauces or dressing on and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen turkey on a Vito! Disappointed.”

Soda machine was good. The 3 drinks we had all had good soda and ice.
Trash cans were not overflowing.
I went back for a cup of shredded cheese and they sold and handed it to me quickly.
One other person I overheard that they'd made something wrong and they asked them if they wanted oleys to put in her meal or for them to remake it, which was kind of weird.
Not my meal so I'm not counting it.
I had a burrito with meat, cheese and oleys and mine had them in it, so I'm not sure what they had.”
