I concur, #13 at Jersey Mike's, Mike's way w/"juice" is the greatest. If you haven't been to JM in Plano I strongly encourage it. It is the Cadillac of sandwich shops. And yes, subway is the Oldsmobile. I was hoping for JM in Allen even though it's not that far away, but can live with JJ even though it's not AS good.

Where I agree with you that subway meat is disgusting, I don't agree with the shiny meat argument. You really should post the article that your picture is from explaining why rainbowing of meat is neither uncommon or unhealthy

Ate at JJ's once and doubt I will ever go again. Didn't have much taste, bread was to thick for my liking and they don't allow salt & pepper.
That's right, no salt & pepper allowed. Sorry but I like me some S&P on my sammies. Why would a place not allow salt & pepper?
Will stick with Which Wich or even Subway.

Do not order from Jimmy John's if you are going to have your food delivered. Some of the ladies in my office just ordered sandwiches and they charge a delivery fee per item ordered. One of the sandwiches was $5.95 and they charged a separate delivery fee of over $7 for that sandwich. So the sandwich cost over $13! Every delivery fee was more than the cost of the sandwich. It does say on their menu that "Delivery orders will include a delivery charge per item" but no where on the menu does it list what the delivery charges will cost. Yes, they called and spoke to the manager to complain, but were simply told there is a delivery charge per item. Probably good thing they didn't order chips on the side. It would have been $3 delivery fee on top of the cost of the $1.39 bag of chips.

I would contact corporate because we have ordered delivery many times and it is only about a 5% delivery charge

So is it only the location on Exchange that charges a delivery fee? There's a Jimmy Johns in Frisco on Parkwood near my office and I placed an order for delivery for lunch today (and do so at least once a week) and there was no delivery charge added to my bill. I checked my ordering history for the last few weeks and there's never been a delivery fee added.

I just checked the web site to order from the Jimmy John's in Frisco and noticed that if you order for pick-up that a plain slim costs $3.99, but if you order for delivery it costs $5.75.
All of the sandwiches are more expensive if you have them delivered.

Thanks Joe, I never realized that. Everytime I've gone to their website I've selected "Delivery". Never crossed my mind to click on "Pick Up". That's a pretty sneeky way of doing business. They've lost a customer for good.

Now to be fair, surely you would all expect there to be some type of charge for delivery? I have never been to Jimmy Johns, but if they have staff on hand specifically for deliveries, they've got to recover this cost (and should make some profit off it too). The delivery person is prob earning min wage of $7.25, and perhaps it takes them 20-30 min round trip for deliveries, plus gas. And yes every business needs to recoup for some corporate overhead. With saying all of that, there should be a reasonable markup on the items (not over 100% as noted in the first postings) But a sandwich that is $3.99 for pickup or $5.75 delivered is reasonable to me.

But it doesn't cost any more to deliver two sandwiches rather than one to the same location. I think this is the issue and not that there is a delivery charge.

I don't mind paying a delivery fee, but tell me that I'm paying one, don't embed it into the price and not tell me.
If SB had not posted about checking the "pick up" price, I would have never known. On top of the cost of my order of approximately $10, I was tipping the driver $3 for his "troubles".
The Jimmy Johns delivery guys probably make 2 dozen delivies into our building each day, sometimes there's two here at the same time.

We have been less than impressed with Jimmy Johns and their "corporate policies". We went in to the restaurant a couple weeks ago and ordered several slim sandwiches to go so that we could use them to pack in lunches for the week. As it turned out, one of them was going to be eaten that night so after we ordered we asked if we could have lettuce on one of them (and then a mustard packet), since they only carry the dijon mustard. Granted we asked for the lettuce after ordering it, but they wouldn't give it to us. I offered to "buy" a side of lettuce, but they said that I needed to go back and order a sandwich that had all the fixings and just say w/o everything except for lettuce, so in this case it would have been w/o mayo, tomato, cheese. They said it was corporate policy to not modify a slim sandwich, which I guess I can see, but seriously, it was a bit ridiculous. I was going to pay $3 more for a sandwich to modify, just for lettuce. Needless to say, we just left w/o the lettuce and I threw some lettuce on it at home.
