Well, I won’t be ordering delicious subs from Jimmy John’s any more. Every time I call, they put me on hold because my street address is Martin Luther King.

I’ll tell you why they didn’t want to come out here: I’m on the cusp of the “wrong side of the tracks” and the mental image of the MLK neighborhood from top to bottom scares them. I’ll be eating Panini’s over at The Press from now on.

hey, way to go! i’ve experienced this many times. i grew up in the Hckory Trails Housing Community and it was difficult to get pizza delivered to our house. they would deliver across the street, but not to our complex. it’s a shame isn’t it?
it’s ridiculous. i understand the desire to protect drivers, but stereotyping an entire community ain’t the way to go about it. and if there’s no other way to handle it, then at least be upfront about it; don’t hide behind a bullshit delivery range. i mean, every time i call, the pause is obvious…
