Remember, veggies grow in dirt. Dirt has bacteria.

You haven't been in a Jersey Mike's have you? Because your statement is not true. Jersey Mike's
does not slice the meats and cheeses at the same time as the veggies. The meats and cheese are sliced right in front of you when you place your order. The veggies are at the next work station and they are pre-cut before opening and kept refrigerated in clear bags until they are added to the work station. The bread is also baked on premises fresh every morning before opening. It's the freshest and best sub I've ever eaten!
Jersey Mike's started in 1975 and began franchising in 1987 and now have 1500 locations, in 2015 alone they added 197 stores. In Florida they have 141 locations and Lady Lake is the #1 store in Florida. Jake the owner also owns the Mount Dora location and Trailwinds will be his third. Apparently whatever caused those other chains to go out of business, they didn't operate like Jersey Mike's.
Here's the sandwich prep table, that's where you tell the sandwich maker 'you'll have it Mike's Way', that's shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and onions, olive oil & red wine vinegar, salt & pepper and oregano, or they make it however you want yours. The meats and cheeses were sliced fresh at the previous work station.
