View Full Version : Why old ladies should not work at SubWay.
Tsa`ah

So I had a few errands to run today before lunch.
I had to stop at a machine shop to bitch slap a guy who's been jerking me around on some tooling work on the piston heads I dropped off last month. Stop at the utility co-op with a copy of my bill and a copy of my bank statement showing that they did indeed yank $683 out of my checking for a $68.30 bill. Swing by Lowe’s to see if I received the right wood flooring. And when all of that was done, I could grab my $4.50 latte from the Kopi, grab some lunch and head home.
So I decide a sub sounds good. Schlotzkies, Quiznos, and Jimmy John's are in the opposite direction, so that leaves Sub Way.
I walk in at 10:50 and I'm the ONLY CUSTOMER.
There are two old ladies behind the counter. I order my toasted steak ... NO CHEESE on Italian. The bag grabs the bread, places her palm in the middle of the loaf, PRESSES DOWN LIKE SHE'S PERFORMING CPR, and cuts. She throws the steak on it leaving this barren 3 inch space at the end of the sandwich and then starts throwing on the cheese.
Me - "No cheese please"
Her - "Sir, it's a steak and cheese ... it comes with cheese"
Me - "NO CHEESE ... PLEASE"
Her - "Well it's your sandwich, but it still costs the same"
Me - "That's fine ... no cheese"
Her - "Then next time just order a steak"
Me - "You got prime rib, cause I'm really hungry"
Her - "We don't have that kind of steak"
Me - "That's fine, I ordered a steak, no cheese, on Italian. Sorry you didn't hear that the first time"
She gets huffy and throws the sandwich in the oven WITH FUCKING CHEESE ON IT!
So I let her know that she put the sandwich in the oven with the cheese and I don't want cheese ... I just want the fucking steak!
Her - "Can't you just take it off?"
Me - "Take it off?!!! IT'S FUCKING MELTING TO THE STEAK CREATING AN ISEPERABLE BOND OF CHEESEY ICKINESS ... NO!"
So she gets pissed and starts all over again ... this time she punches the bread even flatter before she cuts it and leaves an even larger bare patch of bread.
The abomination gets toasted and before I could tell her what I wanted on it ... she starts wrapping the bastard up.
Me - "Excuse me, I don't want it plain. I would like lettuce, olives, onion, spicy mustard, and pepperocinies (sp) on it."
Her - "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Me - "Because a) I didn't want to confuse you and I didn't want my veggies toasted and b) It has always seemed customary to wait until the meat is on and you are in front of the veggies before telling you what veggies I want."
So she gets huffy again and asks me several times what kind of mustard and olives.
By this time a line has formed and the other old lady has finished the sandwich of the guy that came in after me and is in the process or ringing him up ... except she fucks up. It becomes increasingly obvious that the technology of the touch screen and the geriatric generation just don't mix.
Now the guy that passed me didn't help. When they finally get his price correct, he's short and has to go to his car for more money. Evidently the idea of "voiding" his order so that the rest of us could get the hell out of there was beyond the gray Betties ... so we waited.
This fuckstain comes back in with a 100 dollar bill and I thought both of the hags were going to submit to cardiac arrest right there. "We can't break a 100, can't you read; now we have to void". On this went for 5 minutes until I coughed up 5 20's for the guy.
What is the point of this post? Nothing except don't let old ladies work in fast food behind the counter.
I'm still flustered over it. My sandwich was crap, my latte got cold and here I sit with my cold latte on one side, a glass of iced tea and a shitty sandwich on the other and I keep going from tea to latte with a shitty look for a shitty sandwich in between.

Heh, man that sucks bro :(
The only problem I've ever had with Subway is their idea of "extra" of something.
Me : Could I get extra olives?
Her : Sure! *drops 3 more olives on the sandwich*
Me : erm..I asked for extra..
Her : That is extra sir, we are only suposed to put 5 olive slices on a sandwich.
Me : .....

Go there. Fill out the form. Tell them about your miserable experience. Possibly get coupons for free food. Use them at a different Subway.

What ever happened to the way they used to cut the bread?
You know, cutting a wedge out of the top? Outside of shitty service, smashed bread has to be my second biggest gripe.

Funny you should say that..I've actually done that at a subway.
We walk into the place, its dead..no customers (besides us 3), and one worker. She is with child, huge. Looked like she was near term.
It takes her almost *30* min to make 3 sandwiches. She finally finishes..and we go to pay her with a $50. She hits us with "We can't accept anything over a $20 after dark".
After informing her that it was still light outside A HALF HOUR AGO, we left her with the sandwiches, walked across the street, and got some pizza.

They also have the audacity to charge .75 for extra cheese, but when you have them leave it off your sandwich you still have to pay full price. :flamed:

I've had this happen to me at a SubWay before...I don't get cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, onions and they can't give me extra pepperoncini's? :wtf:
The one by my house is great though...I say extra and sometimes they give too much. :socool:

I used to work at Subway. I pwnd.
And the person was right. We're only allowed to put a certain number of tomatoes, olives, pickles, bell pepper slices, etc. etc.
We're technically not supposed to put "extra" without charging extra, but I usually did if none of the other employees were watching.
Anyway. I'm all about Quizno's now. They're so much better. Although, sometimes I feel like a cold sandwich. I guess it depends.

Her - "Then next time just order a steak"

Yeah well she's obviously a dumb cunt.
I, unlike that Subway employee, understood what "no xyz" meant. I assumed they understood they would be charged the "steak and cheese" price, so I didn't treat them like an idiot.
That lady should have been thrown in the automatic tomato slicer they have in the back.
Sounds like a crappy experience. I don't eat at subway very much but I have never had an experience that bad.
A friend of mine recently just bought a subway franchise and he tells me they have been very strict with their standards. It sounds like your store has something to learn.
Now that said, I have always held to the belief that being snarky or short to people preparing your food is a bad idea. Regardless of how much they deserve it.
Tsa`ah
12-02-2004, 02:41 PM
That's only if you can't see them preparing your food.
Don't get mouthy at the drive through, and don't bitch about food prepared out of sight.
When I can press my face against the glass and say "I SAW THAT BITCH!" I'll talk all the crap I want so long as they're asking for it.
Regarding cheese. Cheese on beef is only acceptable on Mexican and Italian food to me, with the exception of a Philly steak ... and I did say a steak, NO CHEESE, right out of the gate.

I go to Quiznos and order the classic italian untoasted. Just because they are famous for their toasted sandwiches, doesn't mean you HAVE to get them toasted every time to go there. ;)
I've always had positive subway experiences, but like Tsa'ah and co. I've been wondering where the wedge cut bread went. But I'll be honest I generally goto blimpies or the local italian sub place because its closer to my job and the sandwich is like 2x as big. I always feel cheated when I look at my weak ass sandwich leaving subway.
I don't like quizno's though. I like the concept of the hot sandwich but the price is way high for the service of heating up my sandwich and again the sandwiches seem small.

Your Taco Bell employees must be from a separate planet than the ones where I go. I have eaten at Taco Bell, alot. I have maybe ever had 5 orders correct. And they never fix them with any method of quickness. It has reached the point that every time I go to Taco Bell I play the "Taco Bell lottery" game. I make my order, give them 5 dollars and see if I win or lose.
Sometimes I get home 2 taco's short, and the wrong drink.
Sometimes I get home with extra tacos and to many drinks.
I honestly wonder if they only have one giant screen that shows everything being ordered, and they just put them in bags as they see fit.
One memorable time, I was going over to Adredrins to hang out, and so I stopped by Taco Bell since it was the only place open at 12:30. The line of stoned/half drunk people demanding food at 12:30 was as usual wrapped around the building. When my time came I ordered two soft tacos, and a large Mt. Dew. I HANDED the man at the window 5 dollars, and he gave me back change. He then gave me something like 4 Grande combos, two orders of natchos, three drinks, a mexican pizza and two quesadillas, and shut the window without saying a single word to me.
Remaining somewhat on topic, That experience with the pregnant woman at Subway could only have been truly understood if you where there. The child must have been easily 3/4 demon for the amount of complaining, swearing, and general bitchiness being delivered at us customers.

After they screwed up about 5 consecutive orders I finally pulled up in the drivethrough and asked for "$5 worth of food."
The attendent was of course dumbfounded.
I explained that they always screw the order up anyway, what the hell is the point of ordering specifics?
I probably got the ass taco.

I haven't had a problem with Subway or Taco Bell. In fact yesterday I went to Subway and had a seafood sammich, and today I went to Taco Bell for 3 crunchy taco supremes. I've never gotten jerked at TB simply because I can understand them (I have beans and rice written all over my face).
I'll never forget when they had chalupas. I was on my way home from work and was dead tired. I ordered two chupapingas. I wanted to die.

I'm not a fan of wendys because I always forget to ask for ketchup and they don't automatically put it in my to go order.
Tsa`ah
12-02-2004, 07:41 PM
We have the Taco Bell from Hell. Once upon a time, it was the old style TB. You could order a taco any way you wanted it ... now it's one of those side by side dealies. Taco Bell and KFC under one roof with one register.
It sucks swamp ass.
I'm lucky to get a 20% accuracy. Order a spicy chicken, get a plain taco. Order a steak with sour cream ... get a bean burrito.
It's really as described ... Taco Bell Lottery.
Ordering chicken is just as bad. A bucket of white meat .... contains mostly thighs. And let me ask you this, what the fuck kind of coked up chicken mill runs out mashed potatoes at 5pm?
Isn't that like a cardinal sin amongst the chicken franchises? I could understand an hour before closing, but 5pm?
Biscuits are like playing Russian roulette with your teeth. This one may be good; this one may be a hockey puck. There's no real rhyme or reason for it other than some schmuck hovering over 5 trays of biscuits, each one more dehydrated than the last, saying eanie meanie mine moe.
And let me tell you, there's nothing like trying to zip through the drive through and not checking your order.
"Honey, I thought we were having tacos"
"That's what I ordered"
"Well they gave you those disgusting chicken twister thingies"
"Well they were close!"
I really shouldn't complain, after all ... what can you expect for minimum wage and all the grease your hair can hold?

I really, really hate it when I get bad service or food at a fast food place or restraunt. When ever I get bad service, way I look at it, the place, what ever it is, is well, basically, peeing on me. So I pee back on them. I figure that if I have to suffer with a bad experance so should the food place. I think cleaning my pee off the floor, walls and pee-soaked toilet paper out of their bathroom is an even trade. If I have deal with their pissy attidutes, then someone can deal with mine.
I'm usually a pretty happy-go-lucky person. But I really hate bad service at resturants and fast-food places. So much so that I dont think any words could fully describe my feelings of hate and rage on the subject.
Yea, I know my spelling isn't all that great.

The pee thing, that's gross.
The shittiest food CS experience I ever had was with Domino's. My friend Lisa was visiting, it was 11:30 on a Saturday night and we were all tired, so we called for pizza. We called the one closest to our house. Phone rang, we got "high call volume, plz stay on hold," etc. Stayed on hold for fifteen minutes before I got fed up and hung up. Tried back ten minutes later, same result.
So we called the other two closest Domino's and said, "Look, they aren't answering, can you deliver to us?" of course they were total retards and were like, "uh, they're probably just busy, we can't, uh, sorry."
So Jake finally drove to Jack in the Crack and on the way to, past the Domino's we'd been calling. It was closed down, lights off, no one home. This was like two hours before it was supposed to close. The next day I called when they opened to demand an explanation. I get the manager.
He goes, "Uh, yeah. We had to close last night because my wife went into labor" (and yet you're here at 11am the next day?) "and there was no one to run the store so I had to go."
So I say, "Fine, how about changing the message on your phone so people don't wait on hold, thinking someone is going to answer?"
He replies, "Um, I don't know how to do that. I don't think our phones do that." (I know he's lying or retarded, because I've called after hours before and gotten the "our hours are..." message). So I say, "You're the manager, and you don't know how to work your own phone system?"
"Uh, I guess." So I try prodding further. "Well, can you understand my irritation with the inconvenience this caused me?"
"Uh, yeah."
That's when I got really pissed off. Not once had he apologized, just made lame-ass half excuses and lies. So I snarled, "I guess I'll have to deal with someone a little less moronic than you over this," and emailed the company. I had two free large pizza coupons a week later. Which I redeemed at another store.

I've had just a few goofs from Subway. They're pretty good with the customer service most of the time. No one's ever charged me for extra olives or extra anything. Not even an extra slice of cheese on my BMT. There's a huge difference in CS between the one in East Haven and the one in North Haven though. East Haven Subway rocks. Quick, polite, and they're good at pretending they're actually happy to be there. North Haven one's like going to a funeral home.
I've never had any goofs at Taco Bell, but trying to order extra cheese is like trying to ask the Headmaster at Oliver's orphanage for more gruel.
This one place - It's a franchise but I think it's only available in Connecticut. Called D'Angelo's. They make the most awesome steak and cheese subs.
The owner of the one here's named Linda. I used to get a cold cut sub. But whenever she was working, she'd refuse to put pepper and salt on it. Why, you might ask? "Because I don't know how much you want and if I put on too much you'll just take it back."
Well Linda - you don't know how many pickles I want, but you put THOSE on don't you? And how about that lettuce?
Then I started ordering the greek salad. She actually asked me if I wanted lettuce with it. Err..it's salad, so uh - yes? And she'd charge me extra for the olives. As if greek salad doesn't already come with olives, just like the picture shows you on the display board.
Finally I wizened up. Now, when I go there, if Linda the owner is there, I just get what hubby asked me to get and eat a PB&J sandwich when I get home. When she's not there and "the guys" are working instead, they already know what I want when I walk in, and have the bread cut for me before it's even my turn in line.
Oh. I just love reading the PC at 5 in the morning. It brings joy to my life. You keep me so well entertained. :popcorn: I aplaud you all for that. :clap: :respect:

WTF is up with people that want to give the unsolicited advice with the food? I was eating with Jake and some friends at Cheesecake Factory at the Forum Shops a few weeks ago, and I ordered the half sandwich/salad combo.
The dude didn't ask me what kind of dressing I wanted on my salad, and the menu said "mixed greens salad," so I'm like, "uh, and I'd like ranch on my salad please."
The waiter squinted at me and was like, "weeeellll, if you want MY advice" (no) "ranch dressing on that salad would really SUCK." So I'm like, "what's on it?"
He said it was mixed greens (thanks for the repeat info) with candied pecans, tomatoes, julienne carrots, etc. So I'm like, "yes, I would still like the ranch," and he's like, "uh, I'll bring it on the side so you can decide if you want it or not."
At that point I just snapped and was like, "do you want me to sign a waiver so I can get my freaking ranch?" (Probably the only reason I didn't curse was because one of the people with us was 12).
He was really meek for the rest of the meal after that.

Thanks for making my mouth water!! Seafood sub is my alltime favorite from Subway. Taco hell has me hooked on the soft taco surpemes.
The only bad service I've gotten from Taco Bell was dealing with the attitude of the people taking the order. Honestly, its usually a black chick too sounding all disgruntled and shit and when I get around to the window I'll just stare her down. Damn bitches... won't stop me from munching some soft taco's whenever I get in the mood though. :)

I hate shitty fastfood service. It freaks me out when people cant do an easy job. I usually end up saying something to freak them out because then I feel like we are even. Plus, I dont like dealing with bullshit.
Also, when people are busy trying to calm themselves they work on motor function memory. You'll get whatever they've learned to do by habit minus the idiot attitude. Try it, it works. Heres a good example:
You say: "OMG!! You have BEAUTIFUL EYES!! I *love* your eyes!"(be sincere, this part has to be believable).
Next you need to start fiddling with a pointy object. Anything pointy will do.
Make eye contact and look lost and forlorn when you say: "Can I have them for my collection?"

Too bad their service isn't as good as their shakes.
In high school SnS was always the afterschool hang-out. Because of this ANY high school kid that came in there was treated like utter shit. I made it a point to tip over 20% and still got treated like shit every visit. It's just what you expect from a group of individuals making 15% off of $15 4-tops all night long. Eventually the tip is not something you even care about.

I was a manager for a pizza hut.
I hated to retarded employees the head manager would hire.'
Ugh I was like training and would show them the damn picture of the pizza and then hold up thieir screwed up version.
Half the time I got blank stares and the other half I would train would say umm can I have a cigarette break yet?
I am so glad I am not there.

Go figure, I post here about my service at Subway and when I went yesterday for lunch, they messed up.
I got my sandwich started, and they always ask if I want to toast my sandwich. I ordered the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. So the guy starts making it and he puts it aside to wait for the current sandwich in the toaster to come out and helps ring some other customer out. I couldn't get his attention. Then some other woman puts my sandwich in the toaster and starts talking to her co-worker.
I know I said "Excuse me, Miss?" four times at least. She finally acknowledges me after taking the other sandwich and putting my sandwich in the toaster.
Me - "I didn't want my sandwich to be toasted."
Her - "Well, we always toast our hot sandwiches unless you say otherwise."
Me - "Really? Because just yesterday when I came in you asked if I wanted toasted, and every other day before today."
I give her a look and she takes the other customers sandwich and asks me what vegetables on it.
Me - "That's not mine. You just put mine in the toaster."
Her - "Are you sure you didn't want a foot long?"
Me - "Like I said, THAT IS NOT MINE AND IF YOU CAN PLEASE TAKE MINE OUT OF THE TOASTER THAT WOULD BE GREAT."
Her - "Yours is in the toaster?"
I just start staring at her, and then she turns to the other customer and completely ignores me while leaving my sandwich in the toaster and asks her what vegetables she wants on her foot long sandwich. I wait patiently, and someone finally pulls my sandwich out of that toaster and it's burnt.
Me - "Can I speak to your manager please?"
The same woman that spoke to me before responds. "I am the manager."
Me - "Alright, I would like you to make me another sandwich then."
So, I slowly speak to her about what I want on it. After each time saying as much, I tell her not to toast it. She gets annoyed. Fine by me. After she's done making it, I thank her and walk out without the sandwich.
I'm not going to go back again.

That's terrible, Divinity! I would have been fuming if I were you. Very nice retribution, though, must remember that one.

The same woman that spoke to me before responds. "I am the manager."I'm sure it's not much consolation, but that's probably the best punchline to come out of this whole thread.

Oh, I was mad. I'm sure she was even more perturbed by what I did to her. I can't say that I care now though.
