A Look Into Subway

By Saleh Alotaibi

It's a cozy afternoon in Whitfield. Outside the clouds hang low and the wind is biting cold, but inside is the warm smell of baking bread coming from the Subway. There is a huge window that gives everyone a clear view inside the small restaurant where a lot of activity is happening. To find out more about who visits Subway and why they go there, I went to interview the people.

 One of the first people I saw was a girl sitting alone by herself. She was reading a textbook while eating a sandwich and she looked busy, but she was the only one sitting alone so I wanted to see if she would talk to me. The woman's name was Sharon and she was happy to take a few minutes to give me an interview and explained that she loves going to Subway because she could get a good meal to eat and also study a little bit. “I like it in here,” Sharon said. “It's warm and comfortable in here and I can get a little bit of work done while I grab something quick to eat. It's also really convenient for me because I live on campus and I don't want to drive anywhere, especially on such a cold day.”

 When I visited Subway on another day around lunch time and it was packed. There were many students there and all kinds of activity was going on. I could see that the employees were working very hard to keep up with all of the sandwich orders, and to get everything right. Each student had their own demand and idea about what is the best tasting sandwich, and the employees had to deliver. It was like watching a machine, and they knew exactly what they were doing and how to do it.

 My final visit to Subway was in the evening. I saw two men sitting together and I asked them if they would talk to me. Jim and Sam were happy to give me an interview and told me that they were graduate students there working on their MBA. Jim told me, “Sometimes it's really hard because I come here straight from work work, and so I don't have a lot of time to eat. I love the Subway because it's quick and easy.” Sam felt the same way, that it was convenient and easy and he was glad that a sub shop was located on campus.
