Has Subway advertised the most ludicrous job title ever conceived?
Vacancies for ‘Sandwich Artists’ are up for grabs at once branch in the UK.
The title conjures up an image of a weird but brilliant gastronome, perhaps in Vienna, sprinkling cucumber etchings on his latest masterpiece before reverently laying the final slice of bread.
However, the post with sarnie chain Subway is situated on a garage forecourt in Romsey, Hampshire.
According to the advert on job site Indeed the artists could be sharing their space with Burger King, Greggs, Spar, Starbucks, Esso and Spar who all have deals with Euro Garages.
The starting salary is minimum wage and goes up after three months once you have completed your training.
The advert states: “We are now looking for full and part time Sandwich Artists to help us in our new Romsey Subway store”.
Subway have been contacted in regard to the duties of their artists – whose non-sandwich making duties include making sure the store is clean, cash handling and demonstrating a high level of customer service.
On their website the firm said: “At the Subway chain we don’t just serve food; we serve fresh, healthy food – we train you to become a Sandwich Artist so when you make a sandwich, you’re not just making something that’s good for you, you’re making a sandwich that looks great and tastes great too!”

However, Subway are not the only company to give their posts overly grand titles and a variety of everyday jobs have been given hilarious new names in recent years.
School meals in some places are no longer served up by dinner ladies but education centre nourishment consultants while those in public swimming pools are entrusting their lives to wet leisure attendants instead of lifeguards.
Shop assistants are supposed to have a new spring in their step as many have been linguistically promoted to brand ambassadors.
Dishwashers are being termed hygiene engineers, hotel receptionists are being termed great service agents and even the humble paperboy is now a media distribution officer.
