I'm putting this here because a) it's a stupid idea and; b) it's not worthy of a dedicated topic.
I just found that Subway, a company which specialises in exotic sandwiches from the deep depths of despair, has started a delivery service and is offering to send me their wares. From Beijing.
Beijing is 1,885 kilometers / 1,171 miles away!
They give me a choice of Colorful vegetable sandwich, Tuna sandwich, Roast Beef sandwich, Original cut chicken leg steak sandwich, Italian classic sandwich, Teriyaki Chicken sandwich, Turkey breast sandwich, Salami sandwich, Western ham sandwich, Five Black black pepper chicken sandwich, Black pepper thick cut steak sandwich, Dynamic fish Fish Shrimp sandwich, or Avocado shrimp bacon sandwich.
Somehow these have all been carefully costed and are a mere ¥65.77 / $9.06 USD per sandwich, no matter what my choice. There is an additional charge of ¥23 / $3.17 for delivery irrespective of how many of these delights I require. No information is given on likely delivery time, but the usual motor cycle delivery would take days and the flight from Beijing is around 3 hours but getting to the airport probably longer.
Are they insane?
PS. I can buy a full three course meal for delivery in 20 minutes for around ¥25.
PPS. I've spared you the pictures. Wouldn't want to put you off food for the week.
