A man in Florida has been charged with battery after he threw his Subway sandwich at an employee because it had not been cut into two pieces.
Alberto De Barros ordered a sandwich at a Subway in Stuart, Florida on Tuesday, Jan. 9, but was "upset" with the sandwich artist upon discovering that the sandwich had not been sliced in half.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Cassandra Tia Pierre-Louis, the employee, told De Barros that she would no longer be serving him after he "began causing a disruptive scene."
Rather than walk away, the 54-year-old decided the right thing to do was throw his sandwich at Pierre-Louis. De Barros then left the restaurant but, Pierre-Louis followed him outside and photographed his license plate.
De Barros was eventually tracked down by police and admitted that he was "upset over his sandwich not being cut" but said he meant to hit the counter with his sandwich instead of Pierre-Louis.
However, store surveillance showed De Barros picking up the sandwich and throwing it at the employee. De Barros was arrested and charged with battery.
After posting a $1,000 bond, De Barros was released from custody at the Martin County jail. He is scheduled for an arraignment on Feb. 1.

Gone from black to Hispanic .
And that’s why there are no subways in Fla. like NYC has.
I am sure all he had to do was ask for the sandwich to cut in half.

That’s a rough looking 54 ...
And why the eff didn’t he pull out his pocket knife and cut it in half himself?
If you want a puzzled look, ask for a 1/3 lb at the deli instead of a half or full pound.
He may get an uncut footlong in jail.

Two of the most important words in the English language are “please” and “sorry”. As in:
Customer: Please cut this sandwich in half.
Worker: Oh, sorry. Sure.
Neither word is really necessary. But they go a long way to keeping things calm. And now a pet peeve of mine. I wish cops would use those two words more often. It can help to keep things calm.
Cop: “License, registration, and proof of insurance. You’re getting a ticket.”
Better:
Cop: “License, registration, and proof of insurance please. Sorry, but you’re getting a ticket.”
try that sht in a small town.
For a second there, when I read “Uncut Footlong” I thought the article was about me and my ... you know what ...
