Nope, just let the flies gross everyone out then.
The kids I work with are mostly in high school, aged 15-17. They aren't too aware of what goes on around the store and I'm a certified fly-killing master. Just a 21 year old college kid trying to make some debt repellant.
Oh honey...
This girl is 16 and has been working here for a month. This has happened on multiple occasions where she will just brew hot water in the tea urn. Not much going on in her head.
I laughed, and I don't feel bad
I swear I work with future nobel prize winners.
I'm blaming my weight gain on this
I fucking love Subway cookies. I might eat 3 to 4 during a shift and when I work 6 days a week, it catches up to me.
CUSTOMERS PLS
You'd be surprised how many people don't know how "making it a meal" works. You pay the price of the sub, but adding the chips and drink together only take the price down $0.40
A delicious, healthy choice
I don't understand why people do this. It is NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. Seriously? Not even a little bit of dressing?
PLEASE NO
This is infuriating. If you order a bunch of food, do it all at once. Don't make us hold up the register while we go back and make your subs while other customers are waiting. This tends to happen during our lunch rush.
Well to start, Subway doesn't sell grilled cheese. Technically we have to ring it up as a "veggie" which is $5.50. In this case we can bump the price down by a dollar, but there's only so much we can do. Just...order something we actually have on the menu?
It takes soo much power not to scream at people
Can...can you not read it or something? This was a mother in her 30's
I wish my friend, I wish
There was more than one buddy. Unfortunately prices have gone up since November and we were informed the $5 footlongs are never coming back again. :( sorry.
*dies inside*
Honestly, there is no reason to be mad at this other than it slows our progress down. Just a single human, trying to order food for 10 other humans.
Will Dog Tax affect my credit?
Alktrio90
I work at subway as well and all of this is so much yes!
LokiDoke
I want to be understanding, but this just sounds like you haven't worked in the service industry that long
ugunaeatdat
I agree. Else you're on the young side, too young to realize people in general ate just that way.

"...can you not read it..." some people need glasses and either don't have them or they don't work very well at distance.
Comet260
Or...or...she's a complete moron like most stay-at-home moos.
LadyTashviv
For me is, I only need them when looking in distances, which is like.. when I go to the movies, or order food. They're usually at home
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
get new glasses?
PilotPirx
Depending on your eye sight glasses can help only that much. I can read well enough with mine, but at (even short) distance it can fail.
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
interesting, I always thought they were kind of a fix all for eyesight.

I remember when subway used to actually taste fresh. It's a victim-of-its-own-success thing, I figure. Costs stay down with day old veggies.

Filter in brew basket, and 2 tbsp of ground coffee for every 6 oz of water. Provided you're using a regular brewer, that is.

I don't drink coffee. The machines are easy to figure out.

I don't know how to make coffee or tea. Sorry. It's probably because I've never been fond of either. Apple Cider seems to be my hot drink.

Mirawatts
When I worked at Arby's a couple years ago, my attitude with custom orders was always "whatever, you're paying for it". There was a guy who…
Mirawatts
…would order onion rings, but request they be cooked twice. Came out as briquettes every time. Also a shocking number of people order roast…
Mirawatts
…beef with no bun. Turns out they give it to their dogs. We'd get like 5 orders of it from 4-6pm from people on their way home from work.

Have you ever worked food service? All we ever do is judge customers.

Saw a lazy Subway girl savagely open a fresh bag of Spinach, spilling it into ALL the bins, and not even care or clean up for herself 1/2

I could FEEL the death ray stare of inhuman hate coming from her coworkers. Felt like it wasn't the first time. Awkwardly paid and left
2tacticool
Yeah that happens usually one or two workers that don't work and nobody likes yet can't fire due to beaurocratics
BrotherhoodOfTheTaco
I hate it when they ask you what you want on your sub, and you say "EVERYTHING." and they look at you with that evil eye. "You asked."
SmartAleck08
Having worked in food, it's because people rarely mean EVERYTHING, but expect the server to just know what they do and don't want.
BrotherhoodOfTheTaco
I get that but, when I say "everything." I mean EVERYTHING. I want the toppings to be a meal in and of itself.
ImmortalAzrael
In my experience Subway employees almost universally just don't give a shit.
anomaly23
Would you give a shit for minimum wage and rude customers?

There's one near my work that I go to semi-frequently and all the employees just seem stoned all the time. It is Colorado, but still

Jimmy John's menu is the worst!! And there is always deafening loud music. Bleh.

I've never been to Red Robin is it louder there? I think I'm secretly an old person so loud music puts me off.

I ain't mad at ya. The sandwiches are decent, but I wouldn't pay full price for them.

#6 no cucumber please. and dont you dare tell me your store isn't serving sprouts this week! (no srsly y do u only serve sprouts sometimes?
SeeDubious
My store doesn't serve sprouts, it's a franchise thing... sorry.
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
Weird. How do they determine the stores that do and don't? sometimes my usual one will serve them one week and not the other. No pattern.
SeeDubious
Corporate stores still have sprouts, but they let independent franchises opt out.

When I worked at Jimmy John's we stopped serving sprouts for health reasons. Apparently they get recalled often, so it was a hazard to serve

meraii
One of my jobs is in Subway. Sometimes I can't tell whether my colleagues or the customers are more annoying.
meraii
One colleague changed her gloves three times in 5 mins during the rush (so she was slowing us down). Why? "oh, well i was touching my hair"
meraii
then we get customers who say 'yes' to cheese and toasted, then go berserk when you put cheese on it and stick it in the toaster. :|
alexicanz
that collective groan when somebody pulls out the office lunch order list during lunch rush hour
Oooldfart
I once went in to a Burger King and ordered 20 Whoppers for my office. Shoulda called ahead. Death threats came from line behind me.
mthrndr01
But subway's so shitty that it's barely worth the $5 for a footlong, much less the $8 they charge for a real meat...
golem000
As a former sandwich artist, I sympathize. Also on the list should be the shitheads that reach over the glass to point at shit they want.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
If someone is pointing at the board, they probably see the picture but not the price due to bad eye sight. That's really dickish.
StatisticallyValidSampleSizes
I worked in food service for almost ten years, and this is highly doubtful. The vast majority of people are too lazy and don't want to read
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
I don't doubt it, but bad eye-sight isn't terribly uncommon. As someone who has had to do that, it just makes me feel like an ass.
cmc8290
not to mention the terrible signs they use now. separated by price and that's only listed on a little bubble in the top corner of each sign

What a sad little kid...
blonx
I think you can tell tho when peeps are just durrrr

When I look at the Taco Bell menu in the drive thru, I can never make sense of it and I panic :D

I hear they make something to cure bad eyesight.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
Not everyone has the blessing of seeing 20/20 even with expensive prescription glasses, ya cunt.
Theinstigator66
Maybe they should quit eating at Subway then, save a few bucks each time until you can afford to buy some glasses.
KnockKnockItsKNUCKLES
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
interesting, I always thought that getting prescription glasses corrected your eyesight to 20/20. or at least close... ya cunt.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
I'll rephrase that last comment -- glasses -will- help, but sometimes not enough.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
Depending on how bad a your sight is, glasses wont help. Generally the next option would be laser eye surgery, which is risky and expensive.
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
Damn that's shitty. I just assumed the worse the eyesight the thicker the glasses. Never really considered there's a point it can be too bad
Jimothyisagoodname
#9 I have to do this sometimes because of how poor my vision is
Theinstigator66
If you have to ask, you shouldn't be eating out.
AusSpyder
Yeah I can only read the sub names, not the descriptions or prices. So I just point and say give me that and pay whatever :P
whydoievengotothissite
Yup. Precisely how I was before I got my glasses. Didn't realize how bad my vision really was until I got glasses. Near blind without them.
Itsallshitsandgigglesuntilsomeonegigglesandshits
Same for me, and I get embarrassed every time because I KNOW they're dying inside
loveduck
I was out to dinner with my friend and he mom who is legally blind but it's not obvious. The waitress held her food out in front of her (1)

and then made a rude comment when the mom didn't reach for the plate. It was embarrassing (the waitress being rude, not her mom being blind)

Despi
Glasses / contacts / corrective options are great
ut2k4xt
You don't say. Depending on your condition (i.e. astigmatism), corrective lenses can't always fully compensate.
UpvotesForCalicos
And sometimes ridiculously expensive!!
Jimothyisagoodname
For me and probably some other people I can't get glasses because I have to wait on surgery for both my eyes and then wait til 1/2

LikeTheFirstMonkeyShotIntoSpace
Curious what your refractive error is?
Jimothyisagoodname
kariticonis, I think that's how you spell it

That's terrible... =( Is the reason for not being able to wear glasses because of the eye changing too quickly?
Jimothyisagoodname
I have glasses but yeah, my eye has changed to much since I got them a few years ago :L
MabonFeathers
Until you realize that even if you wear glasses constantly your eyes get progressively worse and you have to fork out $700 a year to see.
Sasstiel
Where do you live that it costs you 700 for glasses and lenses? I pay less than 300 every year for mine. 500 when you add on contacts.
MabonFeathers
Canada. It's about $200 for frames and then another $400 for lenses. Add $100 for warrenty for a year, and, well, $700.

ya, it could be that he's over sensitive or just mad because he can't afford it at the moment. It was not my intent to bring up either.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
Want to donate 400$ to that cause? I have glasses, but don't be a dick. Not everyone can get them. And not everyone sees well with them.
8bitTunes
if they don't work, do you need a new prescription? do you not have a job with insurance?
Anziepanzie95
I just got new glasses for the first time in three years. Cost 410 for the new prescription and lenses. I still can't read the small words.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
I'm lucky that my insurance covers a new pair every 3 years, but when I was younger, my eyesight would get worse within those 3 years.
8bitTunes
I wasn't being a dick, just sounded like you needed glasses. There are cheaper ways to get them but you have to use some resources.
YouAreNowBlinkingAndBreathingManuallyAndHaveTheSuddenUrgeToYawn
as a person with progressing bad vision, what exactly does cost 400$? never paid more than 50 but maybe I buy wrong glasses

ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
2) to top it off, when you're younger, your vision tends to fluctuate which means new lenses every few years. then if they break, ectect...
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
The prescription is the expensive part, tho. Have to pay for the appointment, and then the lenses, which could range between 300-600.

I only ever eat spicy chilli sauce on my subs. Anything else I wouldn't touch it.

The point is they could buy a lettuce and tomato much cheaper. If you want a sandwich with like 10 ingredients, go to Subway, but just 2?
KevinGooday
I don't know where you can buy one serving of lettuce, and the tomato would require cutting. My half hour lunch break is too short.
ellert0
Oh, I just meant to buy a whole lettuce. Would be possible just to grab a tomato and lettuce when shopping and prepare it in advance.

I, personally, would put much more in, though no dressing, but itwould be well worth the time and ease for me.

technically, if subway is making a profit, its never really worth the price
Omny
I make subs where I work, and it baffles me when people get subs with only 2 or 3 toppings. like, Ham and mayo on white ain't worth 8 bucks.
jivvy
Then there's the people who get every sauce offered. I always wonder if it actually tastes good
moneymeow902
My brother worked there and made me "the best sub ever" with all the sauces. It was terrible. ..
Mirawatts
White bread, Turkey, Salami, Peperoni, American Cheese, Mustard & Mayo (lightly you heavy handed "artist"). I just order what I want to eat.
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
It depends on the person, some people have more money than they do time, so having someone else make their cheap sandwich is more beneficial
SamKat42
Tuna on herbs and cheeses bread. American cheese. Lettuce. Black olive. Mayo. Every time. It's simple but it's what I like.
LadyTashviv
I only have chicken, red onions and curry sauce on mine. That's how I want it, that's how I'll have it. 1/2
Sacurason
I feel like that's probably not going to happen.
LadyTashviv
If they start selling corn then I'd add that though 2/2
twirling
Its because some people dont like the taste of most of that crap you have. Id personally be happy with just a slice of cheese.
peridotite
Then why go to subway in the first place?

Other people like it.

So like black pepper on bread? I mean whatever you like to eat, it's cool, I'm just making sure that's what you're talking about.

Oh that's not weird at all, there's plenty of food that can benefit from simple one ingredient seasoning.

I always get the lot without jalapenos, then watch as they struggle to close the huge sandwich

Complaining when order too little, complains when order too much , how do you win D:

Oh, we just like to whine. Just be polite, be concise, tip a buck if you can afford it. That tends to make minimum wage workers happy. 1/2

i live in aus so no confusing tipping system :D , and i excessive please and thankyous, but i can always feel their hate O_O

I worked at a Subway when the $5 footlongs started. It's incredible how many people would ask why it was $5.35 at the reg. Taxes, people.
KillerTofu131
As some one originally from Delaware, I used to get really thrown off by sales tax when shopping out of state. Luckily I'm used to it now.
MrSpanksworth
Taxes not applied to the mentioned price. What a strange place Murica is.
Jessicarrrlove
Yep.
bwk2421
The really weird thing is that we DO include tax in some prices such as fuel (petrol).
MrSpanksworth
So the US can't make up its mind? Taxes included on this, oh but not that! How confusing.
zorock
It really makes it a lot easier if prices are listed with taxes included though =)
Jessicarrrlove
It really does. I think that's why Cici's Pizza says their buffet is "5$ and some change". Subway should follow.
hollyoud22
Well usually people aren't taxed on food stuffs.

hearthstoneaccount3
Its very dumb that america doesn't include taxes in prices. We get it different states different taxes. THATS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR LAZINESS
Jessicarrrlove
I agree. I hate having to figure out taxes when I'm tight on money to make sure I have enough. They should do it for me. lol
OhSquiggilyLine
Exactly, it must be easier for stores to work it out than the average customer with a trolley full?
bwk2421
How often to you have a trolley full of items and have already mentally added up the exact cost?
OhSquiggilyLine
Every time I do a big shop because I have a limited budget?
jasondecrae
How about pricing stuff with the VAT already included, by default?
tunacupcake
Yo, they're $7 in Australia.
Anziepanzie95
And Alaska also
tunacupcake
Is Alaska not part of the US? Why do you have different prices?
Anziepanzie95
Supposedly it costs more to ship stuff up here. We do have Canada and ocean between us and the rest of the "lower 48's"
tunacupcake
So much for free trade, huh.

Montana doesn't have taxes on food even in restaurants? I know in Iowa there's no taxes on groceries, but there is at restaurants.
theDrElliotReid
Nope! Nothing merchandise not even vehicles. However, we do have property tax. & there are few tourist towns that have taxes on merchandise
samsonguy920
No sales tax whatsoever. State income tax which is really decent, property taxes, and lodging tax pretty much fills the bill....

no taxes on food? >looks at the 25% tax on groceries >looks at the 12% at resturants >looks at schools >looks at hospitals... meh...

I am under the impression if you don't cook anything (nothing heated up) there's no tax? Educate me people!
theStead42
Those non heated items wouldnt be taxed if you payed with EBT since the government wont tax itself. Mostly convenience and grocery stores
Jessicarrrlove
I think that only applies to groceries, not fast food. I've always been charged tax at fast food/restaurants.
Thenameideserved
Yeah, why would anyone think that the price posted is the price you pay?
JamEngulfer
As someone from England, I don'e see why you don't have tax in the price. Here the price it says is the price you pay
MyPolesAreInTheRightHandPlane
I think the reasoning behind not including tax is based on the fact that different states ( & some cities) have different taxes1/?
Jessicarrrlove
On all the ads it said underneath "Sales tax not included". People could read.
JoshuaTuttle
I really wish that all prices posted would have to include the taxes. I travel so it's hard to keep up with how much tax will be.
SaintMaceToTheFace
Because tax is a fact of life?
Thenameideserved
I know it is hard to see for people in it, but in other parts of the world. Where we pay tax, we also include it in the price.
questionableanswers
that's why many countries will have stores post the price after vat too.
ExTechOp
There actually is a quite pragmatic reason for this: advertising (with prices) is country-wide, but state taxes are different.
Doodleyduds
Hell even down to CITY is different. I could get a meal near my work cheaper than if I got the same exact thing at home a city over.
Thenameideserved
well that... sort of makes sense.
Isleepwithamagicblankie
Yeah I wish it just cost what it says it costs!!!
illogicalphallusies
The issue is due to the size of the US/CAN, much of europe has taxes included in display prices. But its equal EVERYWHERE in the country 1/2
illogicalphallusies
So while in canada places like AB have 5% tax, ON has 13% tax. So a commercial cant say its 1.05 because in ON its 1.13, so its added after
hearthstoneaccount3
Or they could just have the base price in commercials and still show the actual price in stores
hearthstoneaccount3
TBH not showing actual price in general is really shady and dishonest to customers by making products look cheaper
koalascanevolvetoo
Ummm, what the hell? If you pay $5.35, then don't advertise it as a "$5 footlong".

Yes it says $5 plus tax in the commerical. So why must the store have $5?
Maerada
I seem to be behind the people who can't decide what they want on their sub.
CorvusBelli
How can they not know? The answer is clearly "Subway Melt on Italian bread".
KingoftheIntroverts
Or the 6 year old kid whose parents are encouraging to be independent. 30 seconds per item, ain't nobody got time for that.
Artefact
I usually get stuck behind people wholly unfamiliar with the concept of deciding
NonConformistFlamingo
I get stuck behind either those, or the people who order six subs with GODDAMNED EVERYFUCKINGTHING THEY OFFER on them.
Sacurason
Which is weird, because six subs is technically a platter, which means that the employees/manager can deny the order.
zackofspades
Its not like they have a 'specials' menu. Know your sub.
Zugoola
Dont forget the staff have to be nice to these people you dont!
eromitlab
I usually wind up behind the person with a bunch of menu questions, like they've never ordered a sandwich before.
sparkledick
I was behind one hillbilly couple that asked if they made sandwiches. Then had to have every step explained to them.
MisterLemons
Spicy chicken, pepperoni, jalapeno jack, toast it, lettuce, jalapenos, banana peppers, pickles, and southwest sauce. DOO EET, DO EET NAO.
samsonguy920
As a delivery drive, I seem to be behind the people who can't decide where they want to go. Such indecision in people these days.
Myothercarisanxwing
I just want what the picture of the sandwich shows, but i really don't care.

Sadly, life is full of those. More sadly, they're all standing in front of people in a rush

Zixtank
Really, if you've been in line for 5+ minutes and still dont know what you want, then you're simply not that hungry.
FXTPD
I get stuck behind old people at Cash machines, like if you're over 50 you have to play a game of pac man before you can get your money out.

=Always= when I go out for fast food. ALWAYS. It's why I go in knowing what I want just so I don't end up being -that- asshole.
Zbee
I'm still not sure how to order stuff at Subway so if I am ordering for myself I try (& fail), but when it's >2ppl I just hand them my phone
sparkledick
Bread type and length, meat or just name of sub on menu, cheese type, toasted yes/no, veggies, dressings.
Zbee
Omg thank you! I'm gonna put this in my wallet, or at least format my orders to be like this :D
bigguywhokills
Yeah, after they waited in line for 6 minutes.

Haha I used to never go to subway because I was too stressed out about holding up the line/deciding what I want...
rainbowunicornsocks
Finally figured it out and now I always order the same thing every time I go, now the staff don't even need to ask me they just make it.
SpikeCanKickLestatsAss
I order the same thing every time (or plan ahead exactly what I want), because I'm so awkward. Even if nobody is there but me.

I was once at a Subway and that's what i did. I created something super delicious but i don't can't remember what it was :(

I said everything but tomatoes just to make it faster... the stoner put extra tomatoes, forgot to cut the bread, and didn't wrap it
IReadEverythingInMickeysVoice
... Are you sure you were at a Subway?
sparkledick
98% sure, it was a weird day. That kid no longer works there, now he's a waiter at Logan's. And he screwed up that order too.
howboutyadontladiesandgentlemenSCOTTYDONT
We have a rule on my baseball team. If you say umm or uhh while ordering you have to pay for the next persons sub as well. Very effective.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
If only I could scream this at people in drive thru asking questions about everything on the fucking menu. GO INSIDE BITCH!
Hugrold
I don't want to be one of those, so I usually have my order fully mentally prepared before I even enter subway

I practice it in my head and then when it's my turn to order, I forget everything :|

Hi! I um.... well.... let's see..... what kind of bread do you have? Oh, it's right here on this list... Ok. I guess I'll have white bread.
YellowDuffMachine
lol my favorite is the "Boring white american citizen sub" plain Italian, ham, american cheese, lettuce and tomato and mayo. wow fun
DoctorInspector
You must not work in an area with a lot of minorities. "plain black americans" order the same, but they don't like mayo.
parkway
To be fair, it's subway, not an exotic sandwich shop :P
swimminggiraffes
You described my order...lol
SirFormidio
Footlong Flatbread, Oven roasted chicken, pepperjack cheese, toasted, the works, Sweet Onion and Chipotle Southwest. Every time.
DoctorInspector
Worked at a subway in high school. There are some sick people. Tuna/seafood/pickles/onions/mayo THEN toasted. Made me want to throw up.
YellowDuffMachine
uuhggghh. I've seen seafood with chipotle, bbq sauce, buffalo, sweet onion, and mayo before. I can't even imagine what that tastes like.
Tzazi
You know what I don't get, is when I need to toast someones tuna sandwich. I can't understand why people like toasted tuna.
Muffyns

No, people do this all the time at the Subway that I work at. They just don't see the price at the top...left? Right? At the top.
