I'm sorry, how long does it take to make an italian sub? Pretty sure Egypt erected the great pyramids sooner than this "line cook: could prep an italian sub. On Montilio's menu, it;s called the "Classis Itialin". Classic? Really? Leonardo DaVinci was a classic italian...this sub isn't.
Before I start, I do want to say the 2 young girls working the counter/cashi register were very helpful. The problem is the 35 year old "cook". This guy clearoly hates his life. I don't blame him.
Montilio's closes at 8pm on Sunday nights. My girlfriend and I showed up at 7:15. Not exactly "last call". Still 45 minutes until close. She ordered 2 slices of pizza, which were already prepared. I ordered the classic italian. Ooops. As soon as the words came out of my mouth I noticed the "cook"'s eyes roll. I hadn't seen eyes roll like that since my sister told her kid he was getting a Go-Bot instead of a transformer for Christmas. He made it blatantly obvious he did not want want to make the "classic" italian. I could tell he was already shutting down the grill station. How do I know this? I used to work at Papa Ginos when I was FIFTEEN. Apparently this guy didn't get the memo that it's not cool to prpeare eggplant parms or large hawaiin pizzas when your'e past 30. I'm sure he still lives with mom and dad where he sleeps until 10:30 every morning to catch the second half of "Let's Make A Deal" segwaying into "The Price Is Right" still complaining that Drew Carey is no Bob Barker until he has to hit his 3-9 shift at Montilio's.
ANYWAY, not only did his eyes roll so far back that he could almost see his own brain (he must have 20/20 to see that tiny joke), but he muttered something under his breath that only the counter girl could hear. Her response was, "shut up." This makes me wonder what he actually said...."Classis Italian takes me 15 minutes to make!", "Doesn't he know it's 45 minutes to close?!", "I did not go University of Phoenix and then earned my masters in fry/grill cooking at La Colrdon Bleu to make an italian sub 45 minutes to close!!!" Regardless, he said something that wasn't loud enough for me to hear...but he sure rolled his eyes and through body language let me known he wasn't happy. Why, 45 minutes prior to close, was he shutting down his station? Oh sorry I to make you do your job 45 minutes before your shift was up. The funniest thing is a 35 year old still has "shifts". Does he work at Orange Julius on the side?'
Let's get a couple things straight: #1....not my fault you're 35 and work at a deli. I guess you never got past that "who needs a high school diploma??" phase in your life. #2...I didn't put a gun to your head and tell you to get those awful arm and neck tattoo's. If only you had finished senior year English class you'd know what the word "regret" means. #3...not my fault that at your laughable stature of 5'6" your endocrine system told you growth hormones to take it easy. Check the Napoleon complex at bthe door. #4.....If you had a real job like most people in your age bracket, you'd know that shutting down 45 minutes prior to actual close isn'[t very professional. God forbid you, the man who makes subs, is asked 45 minutes prior to close to make a classic italian. Sorry to burden you.
SHAME on ownership for hiring this clown. They must have a "hire an ex-con" program at Montilio's because no way based on his tattoos and body language he didn 't serve time up in Walpole during his 20's. Train him to work until closing time....not shut down early so he can go drink busch lights, smoke marlboro lights and watch "Gator Men" which he DVR'd on TLC. Who am I kidding....he can't afford a DVR.
When all was said and done, I cancelled the order because god forbid I burden this clownshow with making a "classic italian" and my girlfriend bought 2 slices of pizza which were just below average. This place is overrated. So I could actually have a supper, I ended up going to Wendys. Half the people that work there don't speak English as a first language, yet the service was SO much better that Montilio's There's a million deli's/pizza places/sub shops in Quincy....skip this one. read more
