With work being so crazy these past weeks, I've been working a lot of hours and haven't bothered to take the time to cook much or get to the grocery; consequently, I'm eating out a lot.
I'd heard Barrett mention that they'd ordered Jimmy John's subs for a meeting at work last week, and during the conversation he mentioned that they'd ordered on-line rather than calling. I knew Jimmy John's delivered (you can see their delivery folks dashing all over campus in cars and on bikes), but I never knew you could order using the web. Somehow this option seemed more appealing; I could browse the menu at leisure, check out any on-line specials, and pay by credit card without having to scrounge up the cash to pay a delivery person. (I haven't been to the bank either these past few weeks...)
I tried this on-line ordering a few times this week for lunch and was amazed at how fast they were. Last night, Barrett and I started a stopwatch when I pushed the "Submit Order" button on the web page...
... and the sandwich was in my hands in less than 8 minutes!
This includes the communication from their web server to my nearest store, processing of the credit card, making the sandwich, and--lets not forget--actually delivering the sandwich! I can't warm soup in 8 minutes, and I get to work through the entire time they're making and delivering my sandwich. As someone who appreciates efficiency, this is remarkable.
