I don't think I've ever travelled 40 miles to pickup a pre-made sandwich. 
Sort of a weird move to start with.

$18 is over the top for a sandwich. You're getting quite the pile of food, 
but not like it was years ago. I can polish one off their current corned

it's fine as a treat once in a while. You have to eat there though, for 
the bizarre experience it is.
