Is there anything worse than running down to Subway on your lunch hour, you've waited patiently in line, and then the guy in front of you pulls out a list of sandwiches for his entire office? With that guy in mind, here's five ways to order lunch at a sandwich shop without being a jerk.

1. If you have a long list, call ahead - Do all five of your co-workers have a different order? Here's an idea, phone in your order ahead of time. Preferably before the noon lunch crowd, please. We're all busy. When you order five different sandwiches, you're slowing everyone down.

2. Know what you want - You've been standing in line for 10 minutes. The menu is clearly posted. Take a minute to look at it before it's your turn. We don't have time to wait for you to decide between swiss and pepper jack cheese.

3. Get off your phone - That important conversation you're having can wait. And, if it can't, send a text or step out of line. You're in a long line and nobody else wants to hear your thoughts on the quarterly earnings report.

4. Fill up your fountain drink quickly - Filling a cup with ice and liquid is not rocket science. Nor is it a chemistry experiment. If the ice machine is running a little slow, move it along. And while you're at it, don't grab four lids and put the other three down. That's disgusting.

5. Don't complain about the service - The poor guy working at the sandwich shop isn't getting rich. And he's slammed. If he forgot to add buffalo sauce to your oven baked chicken sandwich, chances are it was an honest mistake. Let it slide.

With a little extra effort and some consideration for our neighbors, we can all enjoy our lunch in peace.
