Just try and get it without Tomato ("Tomaahtoe"). They never get that right:frown:

I have been reduced to dispensing with what little diginity I have left and using the "TomEhto" pronunciation to have any chance of not getting what I dont want:unsure:


Cant believe you didnt want to try the (KFC presumably) poutine...its one of lifes great experiences!

Do you want fries? Then I repeated my whole order and said yes I want fries with that :confused:

I said I said all I wanted was fries.

Steer clear of Subway too....too many questions and options, your head might well explode! Takes my dad about 5 minutes of holding the line up 6" or a foot, which bread, toasted? Cheese? Which Cheese? Which filling, what topings, Sauce, which one? Mayo? Salt and pepper... to go or not, meal deal with that ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH just give him a cheese and branston butty and he will be happy!

Just my point, all I wanted was my combo meal, wrap, fries and drink.

I kept repeating myself and it also didn't help that it was quite noisy and she wasn't the loudest of speakers.

Like I said before, I generally don't complain.

Canada being a nation of sub optimal english speakers, I find it best to stick to the NUMBERS when ordering, along with pointing at the lavish colour pictures of food that looks NOTHING AT ALL like what finally arrives in the brown paper bag;)

I had problems in there as well; the anxiety it caused was never compensated by the food. But, after persevering I've now got it down as long as I stick with one particular type of sandwich. They also tend to be incredible rude which doesn't help.
