Good excuse

Harvey's too.

good excuse not to delivery and save a few bucks, what about local hot house tomatoes until the crop comes in. Are they going to put in more of the other ingredients instead or give a reduction in price - RIGHT!!!

what good is a damn sub or burger without tomatoes?

I pulled a tomato once and ended up with ketchup all over me

Why aren't we using Canadian grown tomatoes all the time? Amazing we eat foods from everywhere but where we live. I mean beyond seasonal, it's amazing to think how much gas>time>fuel is WASTED transporting the foods we eat. Bummer for the eco system. Oh well

A bit of an over reaction as usual.

Media gets ahold of a story and sensationalizes it, now all of a sudden, every tomatoe in the world is a potential killer.

As stated, simply wash the thing.
