It’s A Wrap

All wrapped all the time…
This is a wrap only sandwich shop.
I love being able to custom create
my own wrap sandwich anyway I want.
The staff can run hot and cold…
Sometimes it’s your perfect lunch
and others it’s missing your fave request.
This is usually due to the fact that they are
understaffed for the long lines of hungry patrons.
The deal: try to go there on off hours
to avoid the long lines and lunch mistakes.

The sandwiches and wraps here are solid! The only issue is that with the job market plummeting and enrollment rising there aren’t enough staff here to fill the orders fast enough! I have to say though overall I can’t complain! Except one time the nice lady making my sandwich forgot to take the wax paper off the slice of cheese. So when I sat down with the high school students I was working with and took a bite we all had a good laugh! The staff in the entire dining hall here bust the behinds to serve a student body of 15,000 and I have to say they do a pretty darn good job at getting it done!

Very good sandwiches, but if the employees are in a hurry, they may forget something or do something wrong.
This place is in the UMass Boston Food Court which is run by Sodexo.

Thanks to the outrageous prices from Sodexho (or however it’s spelled), I now bring my own lunch to campus. But back when I was too lazy, I used to order a tuna wrap from this place. The ridiculously long line at lunch time discouraged me all the time. But when I was really desperate for a tuna wrap, I’d actually stand and wait line for 20 minutes. But when I was really hungry and usually very cranky, I’d head over to get a pizza.
Even when I take my time getting my pizza, I swear the people in line don’t even move more than a few inches. Nope. No progress.
I agree that the wraps are better if they’re toasted. But having a toasted wrap with cold tuna isn’t the best taste in the world.
Wait, did I mention that once you’ve finally paid, the wrap isn’t so hot anymore? Yeah. Apparently after you wait in line for 20 minutes for your wrap, you have to spend another 5 – 10 minutes in line to pay.

Located in the University of Massachusetts Boston campus center, It’s A Wrap offers a decent variety of custom wraps. Think of subway, but for wraps. They have different wrap flavors available: plain, tomato and spinash and they also have pre-​made sandwiches that they offer as well. The line is always huge during the lunch hour and it can take up to 30 minutes of waiting before you get a chance to get your own which really sucks.
The staff really sucks and doesn’t understand what a tiny bit of mustard really is. I swear to god everytime I go there and ask for just a tiny little bit of mustard they squeeze the hell out of that thing they use to dispense it until it oozes from all sides. That really ticks me off and for some reason I don’t have the courage to yell at them and ask them to start over in fear of being told to fuck off and being sent to the back of the line.
Past that point I’d recommend you get your wrap toasted, it tastes much better. But yeah the food isn’t that great and is expensive for what it is. It’s about the only healthy thing you can get at UMB though along with the salad bar and sadly enough they are there to stay due to the fact that everyone goes there for food. Hopefully they will introduce better foods on their wretched campus at some point.
