A Starbucks I Can Relate To!

Today I didn't bring a lunch to work (We REALLY need to go grocery shopping.... we are living on string cheese, captain crunch, and chocolate milk right now. :) My Mom would be so proud!) so I decided to go to SUBWAY for lunch!!
I love Subway, and today I finally discovered why they are so successful. Brace yourself for this stroke of genius...
Subway is like a mormonized Starbucks! You have all these choices that you spout off really quickly which results in a product that is specifically tailored to you! Each person has their own way that they like their Subway sandwich to be: Toasted, Pepper Jack Cheese, Extra Lettuce, Cut in 4ths, etc. Every time I go I get the exact same thing. Sometimes I will mix things up and go for the Italian Herbs and Cheeses bread only if I'm feeling a bit adventurous but I generally get the exact same sandwich every time. I feel like Subway and I have a deal each time I walk in.
"Okay, I'll give you some money and you make that sandwich just how I like."
Fair bargain right? I'm not saying that Starbucks is bad by any means, especially if you're a mormon; they make a mean vanilla hot chocolate! All I'm saying, is that from my knowledge of Starbucks (credit given to the movie You've Got Mail: "Tall, decaf, cappuccino") and my love of Subway, their tactics are interestingly similar....
I leave you with this thought to judge how you see fit. Have a wonderful day! :)
