Subway 'Sandwich Artist' Fired Over Ketchup Dispute Gone Awry

Emerald Catron — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 03:00:31 +0000

Maybe Subway is stepping up their game a tad. They've made it abundantly clear that they now have avocados and sriracha sauce, and they will NOT be putting ketchup on anybody's sandwich. At all.
