And believe me, you get what you pay for! It has been my experience that they offer only the finest ingredients and provide superior customer service and hospitality for the gourmet "fast food." Some may harp on sizes, especially in relation to prices... however, it's the difference between a artisan chocolate truffle and a 99 cent store bag of candy. Sure, you may get more at the cheap place, but it's not the same quality and who knows how long that bag candy has been sitting on the shelf. I also think that many people think very simply about the food they buy. It may seem outrageous to pay $10 for a sandwich, but it's not just the sandwich you're buying. You're paying for labor, the location, the maintence of said location, and the convenience of having a local gourmet hot spot. The sandwiches don't make themselves. And who would you rather make your sandwich, someone decently paid and happy with their employment, or someone who is under-paid and disgruntled and doesn't care about losing their job? I'll go with the former every time. The latter sounds like a bad case of food poisoning to me. Being in New York City, how much do you pay for rent? The rent for a restaurant in the middle of midtown is probably ten times that... if not more. 'Wichcraft is devoted to keeping a clean and sanitary environment in the preparation of their food items. Other venues cannot claim the same. Shake Shack actually was written up for their health code violations and RAT problem. No, thank you, I'd rather not eat mouse droppings today or any other day. I agree that the ordering online reduces the wait for your sandwiches and is a great way to zoom to the front of the line so to speak.
