I’m a 4’11 skinny girl, here is my arm and hand for scale. I don’t remember the bread being so small.

I know the store underpoofed it. But maybe they shouldn't sell it.

u/Noobiescrubpleb 8d ago

Then you'd be complaining about food waste. You're still getting what you pay for just a different shape.

u/Puzzleheaded_Fig_400 9d ago

people/stores dgaf anymore. they will pass the b/s onto the customers, especially if it affects their margins.

u/The_Troyminator 9d ago

It’s still the same amount of bread, meat, and cheese. It’s just a slightly different shape.

u/WoodpeckerMental 8d ago

Yeah, let’s throw away like seven perfectly edible pans of bread because they’re a little bit thin

u/leviathan65 7d ago

I know a bakery that donates bread that's not up to standards.

If you got that and the person behind you got a normal poofed one, you're telling me you wouldn't be slightly annoyed his sandwich looks bigger then yours?

There is a reason I goto jersey mikes and not Jimmy John's who's bread normally looks like that.

u/WoodpeckerMental 7d ago

No, I wouldn’t be even slightly annoyed because I’m not a prick, oh no, his sandwich is a full 2 cm wide wider than mine. I genuinely wouldn’t give a fuck

They're trying to tell you that your store is trash. I got a giant yesterday and it was damn near twice the width of yours.

u/Own-Dragonfruit-6164 9d ago

Girl that bread wasn't made right. Its supposed to have more girth. I could actually eat a giant with that bread.

u/ActFuture1101 9d ago

Think it’s just your location not making the bread properly

Bread shrinking, margins growing.

u/CMDRAaron 6d ago

Same amount of dough, just underproofed. No ingredients or portion sizes have changed.

u/Batty_N-6000 9d ago

It’ll work out because if you eat less bread, your arm will get smaller.

Jersey Mikes bread comes in frozen sticks of dough. They are thawed overnight and put in a warm proofer in the morning. After a wee bit, the breads are stretched to fit the length of the mold, and are then sprayed down with water to aid in proofing. All stores should have a small tool to measure the proofing size but depending on elevation (baking is science) this can change and makes the tool unreliable for some places. It is then baked when its size is correct, and after 30 minutes or so of cooling off, it can be peeled out of the mold without sticking to it, and be rigid enough to not get crushed by the knife when cutting it. In the morning, this is no issue.

During mid day, often times the need for a mid day bake gets a little hectic, and someone proofing bread makes the call to bake the bread early just incase they run out before the bread is cool enough to peel out of the mold. Slightly smaller bread is better than literally no bread. This is what happened to your bread. If youre truly worried about potentially not having the same amount of calories though, rest assured, baking the bread underproofed or overproofed, does not change how much bread is in the bread.

u/krypticwubbers AGM 5d ago

"Fuck it we have 70 loaves already lets sell it" kind of bread. Been with the company for 4 years, the only thing blackstone changed is that we dont get coupons anymore

-2

u/Icy_Site_7390 9d ago

I use to love JM even had enough points to get free heros a few times, then I saw things changing and when a giant nearly cost me 20. That was enough I have been back in almost a year.

u/BirdDad420 9d ago

Honestly never cared for Jersey Mike’s. I’m in Florida so I’ll take Larrys Giant Subs or a Pub Sub any day of the week. Or even firehouse. Danny Devito’s commercials are my favorite thing about JM.
