Undercover Boss - Subway, 11192010

Dan Fertman, former member of the pop band Crayon is the latest featured undercover boss. I never heard of the Crayon group. Did they ever had number one hits or songs that you know???He was the orange crayon of the band. He had to enter a rehab for drug and alcohol abuse, just like the other entertainment people!!! How come almost all pop singers, rock stars, and actors had to do drugs and alcohol?? Probably, they have sooo much money they do not know what to do with it! Or perhaps, they are lonely, so they resort to drugs! What do you think???He was offered a job selling subway franchises when the band broke down, and eventually he worked his way up!!! Although he worked at Subway, he confessed that he never made a subway sandwich!! How about that??? I thought that is a pre-requisite to be employed in Subway or any other sandwich shops!!! How did he dodge that training??? Hmmmmm... he must really be good friends with the owner!!!

His first mission? To make sandwiches! He was paired with Jessi, a sandwich artist! Wow!!! Is that what they call people who make sandwiches??? With the title, do they get paid more than the other fast food places??? Why not sandwich engineer??? You are a nincompoop! Well, they attach everything to an engineer, so why not a sandwich??? Ha! Ha! Ha! You are sooo crazy!!! So, next time I make a sandwich, I have to say, the sandwich artist at work!!! He! He! He! Anyway, back to Subway.... Did you know that sandwich artists can make a sandwich, wrap it up and put it in the bag in 40 - 50 saconds??? Wow!!! That is really fast! Needless to say, Fertman failed to accomplish this feat, so Jessi just assigned him in the back doing dishes and emptying the trash bags! What did Jessi get in return??? Fertman offered to pay her college education and a vacation for her and her father!!! Same old story like the other undercover episodes!!! It is getting to be too corny and boring, don't you think so??? Then why do you watch it??? There is nothing better to watch!!!

Second task was in Auburn, Alabama which was game day! Sherri, who has worked for 19 years at Subway was his mentor. Sherri found out that Fertman is a talker...he was slowing the line!!! Well, to make the story short, Fertman offered $10,000 to her to star in a customer service video and to be flown to California for a national conference to get RRR- rest, relaxation and retail!!! Wooo...hoooo.....

Next stop was baking with Efrainin a new store in Orlando, Florida. Did he do well with baking? Of course not!!! Plus, he managed to lock himself in a walkin freezer!!! That was hilarious, but scary for Fertman!!! So, what did Efrain get from all of this? 45,000 to donate to a foster program of his choice and $1,000 to do something nice for his adoptive mother! That's it??? That seems too cheap!!! Comments, anyone???

Last stop was in a subway shop in a church in Buffalo, New York! It has been in existence for 5 years and it provides job opportunities and experience for people in the region! Duane, his mentor showed how to do delivery. He was impressed with Duane, who was also a pastor in another church that he waived the $15,000 franchise fee so he could start his own Subway shop in his own church!!

By the way, how much is a Subway franchise? I do not know but you have to have money to make money!!! And nothing is cheap!!! Do you know that Subway is a 14 billion empire with 33,000 stores in 93 countries!!! That is really good!!! I wonder about the other sandwich shops??? That is for you to research!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Have a nice weekend!!!! God bless everyone!!!
