People annoy me

For lunch today, none of my co-workers were present today so I went to Subway(3197 S Redwood Rd, West Valley, UT), right at noon. The nearest one to my day job is usually busy but I believe the ladies that work behind the counter have the sandwich making down to an art. They've become very efficient at their little piece of the process. That doesn't have much to do with the point just wanted to give them some credit where it's due. Anyway, it's noon so naturally it's busy and there are probably 15 or more people in line, and the short man(figuratively and actually) in front of me starts complaining after maybe a minute of waiting to his friend/partner/acquaintance, that he doesn't understand why it takes so long to make a sandwich... And follows it up with something more snotty that I didn't quite hear about how he'll pass the time playing cards on his phone. Because of my mood from work I just about told him right there that the bulk of the wait time was because the people in the line ordering don't know what they want(and I believe that to generally be the case for most fast food places... Some are definitely more efficient than others like the ladies at this particular subway), but I decided to take the higher road and prove my point. I timed this asshat in front of me to see just how long he himself took, and no joke he took 53 seconds to order the meat and bread he wanted. Through various changes to the order mid stream and the resulting clarifications the lady behind the counter had to make to make sure she made the order right. I timed it on my iPhone... I knew it
