If you go into a sandwich shop and order 17 sandwiches for lunch for your coworkers, you think that you are being nice and considerate, but in reality, you are being a giant dick.
That is all.

WTF Were you the one: - stuck making the sandwiches? - stuck behind the person that placed the order for 17 sandwiches?

Did everyone just assume you contaminated the sandwiches in some way land not eat them?

If you go into a sandwich shop and order 17 sandwiches for lunch for your coworkers, you think that you are being nice and considerate, but in reality, you are being a giant dick. That is all. I'd agree with that. That kind of order should be called in ahead of time, so the shop can make them up (or at least start the process) before someone from the office arrives to get them. From Bob's post, I'm assuming someone wandered in and just ordered a large amount of food, tying up the entire restaurant staff and making everyone else wait. Not a cool thing to do. I review restaurants and other food-related places and events, and this does annoy me. And I don't blame the restaurant for it. They want the business, of course. I do tend to blame the dolt who showed up and thought it was OK to make everyone else wait for his order.

I hate when that happens at Subway. I only get 30 minutes for lunch and have to punch in and out. It takes 15 just to drive there and back and then I'm left standing waiting in line forever.

The sandwich is about waist high and you are standing a little close for comfort, but she doesn't say anything. Then she opens the bread and gets a giant surprise.

So how many can you politely order at once? How about pizza can you go order 10 at a time or limit that to 2-3 also?

Wouldn't it hurt as hell when she grabs it and pull on it to put it on her desk?

I'm guessing it's too late for your mother to have you tested? He can probably still be tested, but I don't think there's much that can be done to help him at this point.

So how many can you politely order at once? How about pizza can you go order 10 at a time or limit that to 2-3 also? It depends on when you order (time of day) and the restaurant itself. At off-hours, or if the place is well-staff, or both, I think a large walk-in order is probably fine, especially if you are a regular and you tip really well. A restaurant that has a lot of its food prepared ahead of time can probably handle a big last-minute order. A place that makes everything to order probably cannot. Case in point: I went to a sub shop over the weekend, to meet a friend for lunch, and review the place. It's a locally-owned chain of five stores. I'd heard outstanding things about it, and it turns out that everything I heard was true. Who knew a sub sandwich could be so damned awesome? They prep everything to order, except the bread, for each sandwich as it is ordered. The guys behind the counter are as fast as rats on a crack wheel, but the crowds are huge. I'd never go in there and ask them to do a five-foot party sub on the spot, or ten subs while everyone else waits. I'd call or text or fax ahead. To me, this is more about respecting the restaurant owner and employees. They are not there just at my beck and call. They serve other people, too. And if I don't want them spitting in my food, if I want good service, good ingredients and my order to wind up being exactly what I asked for, then I am going to do the right thing and the polite thing when it comes to a large order, which is to call ahead.

Nah, the restaurant doesn't care if you're one guy ordering 17 sandwiches, or 17 guys ordering one sandwich apiece. It's all the same to them. This is more about respecting the poor shmuck behind you who thought he was next up shortly, then had to wait for your massive order. Basically, me. It's all about respecting me. Respect, bitches.

yeah, that is why most places like Subway will let you fax in their orders.
I feel the same way when I get stuck behind what I think is one person at the grocery line, but then the person wants to break up their purchases and/or pull out a million coupons. They should seriously be wearing a sign or holding on to the coupons in their hands to let everyone know to not get behind them.

They should seriously be wearing a sign or holding on to the coupons in their hands to let everyone know to not get behind them. I stood in line behind someone who did that. Broke their grocery purchase into four separate groups. And whined about the cashier not being careful to keep things separated. I wanted to whack her on the head with a can of beans, stuff and entire bag of lettuce up her ass and shove her and multitude of grocery orders into the parking lot feet first, right into traffic. Lord, it's not like the rest of us have nothing to do after a 12-hour day but watch Grocery Games of the Clueless and Stupid. Sorry about that. Back to Bob Ross and how it's all about him.

It helps tremendously ibig orders just go with all the standard toppings, and don't try to get picky with each one. There is no way to do a party sub on the spot. You have to braid the bread together before the dough even proofs.

And even at shops with the bread ready to go (some shops, like the one I visited, does a lot of football-weekend business and does have a few party-size bread loaves done ahead of time), the sandwich should be made, wrapped and refrigerated for awhile, to allow everything to set up and all the flavors to mellow. Five sounds like a fair number for subs with different toppings. Or you get the toppings separate in containers and everyone at the office does their own customizing. So, Bob...what did you wind up getting on your sandwich?

Back in the 1990s, I was one of the people who went on a lunch run to a favorite sub shop. I was probably getting sandwiches for ~10 people. As I started reading off my list what people wanted, the staff there went "You have a list? Just hand it to us." And the process went really fast. The slowest thing about that order was my order, which wasn't written down.

I HONESTLY HATED THOSE ROLL/MAYO sandwiches my co=worker used to order to save a buck and looked at your face while you biting into the crap hoping for YUMMM reaction.

I also hated 'dayz old' sandwiches that my co-workers used to bring begged from some places that are giving away soggy old crap that they forgot to throw out because they couldn't sell them fresh...
