The intersection of horror and low wage sandwich making.
Podcasts March 16th. 2008, 10:48pmAs a former college Subway employee, the current Pseudopod horror podcast entitled “It’s Easy to Make a Sandwich” had me chuckling in a far too disturbing way. This wasn’t straight horror, but more of a messed up nihilistic revenge fantasy.
The idea about the disconnect the hands sometimes make from the brain when working in low wage jobs is completely true. I could have made a sandwich in my sleep after a few months at that job. The lifers, the daydreams, the contemplations of the different customers, the tuna stink…all of it seemed way too close to home.
The only poisoning we ever did was unwittingly selling bad crab salad a few times. Honest.
