Jimmy John's downtown

[heironymouspasparagus]

The ones in St. Louis are the same exact product. Every single store serves the same sandwich. It's not possible for Norman and Tulsa to be bad, but for St. Louis to be good product wise. There may be a customer service difference, but not a product one.

Have you eaten at one in St. Louis area?  Well, they TRY to serve the same sandwich, anyway.  (Cheesecake Factory seems to have that concept locked up pretty good - they are very close from place to place.)  Here are two I have been to from time to time (reviews below), and liked them both better than BA - and grandkid only worked at one - so, I don't know what the difference is, but the food impinged on my consciousness better than BA.  Pick an adjective...

Not saying BA is bad, it's just not as good as these two, for whatever reason - that's what makes them on a par with Subway for me.  It is still edible....

People at BA (the atmosphere) are always bright, friendly, and energetic almost to the point of being manic when I have been there, so the "experience" has always been pretty good.  I may always caught them at the top of their caffeine buzz, too...

Is yours the BA or another one?  Tell me which one and I will go try it and see if it tastes different to me....

I'm at Broken Arrow until July.

I've been to a Jimmy John's right outside of St. Louis off of 44.

I've worked at the ones here in Tulsa and in Champaign, IL (corporate headquarters). It's the same exact product I assure you. If not then I'd like to understand what the difference is. I follow corporate guidelines to the tee. Maybe you got a different sandwich? The one thing JJ's will always go for is the same sandwich every time.

(We take this stuff serious!)

PS - Feel free to come in and ask for me, and I'll make you the best damn sandwich we have on me.

I have to eat the sandwich on you? Can't I have it on a plate or just hold it?

No offense, but in my experience eating food on people is really messy.

Just plain goofey!  A contrived elitist nonsense that some richy rich thought was 'cool'....


Now, if we are talking chocolate syrup, whipped cream and maraschino cherries!... or even a plastic sheet and a gallon of Mazola.... NOW we're talking party!

Ok....just gotta ask about that experience....?

We'll be open around the end of July. Started construction last week. See you guys there!

PS - Downtown OKC store has 18 drivers at lunch. 9 by car and 9 by bike. Any ideas on how to handle the parking situation?

Dont park?   Keep the drivers driving/delivering 

Get a fleet of self-driving cars?  They can just circle the block until you need them.    (or go park themselves in a remote parking lot)

Seems like that should have been a thing you would have thought through when deciding to open a store downtown...

Delivery drone.  Side benefit, Hell-Fire missles for those who don't pay.

Petition the city to make the spots next to the store commercial/loading only during the day.

Double park. There are trucks double parked on that section of Boston seemingly all day during business hours.

Not a fan of this solution.  Retail should want spot that will turnover in front of their doors, not spots clogged by their employees or downtown workers that refuse to pay for surface parking.
