Reminds me of the time I saw a pizza hut delivery guy come out the store and fall over right onto the bag. He didn't even check the pizza just got on his bike and went off to deliver it.
You're right outside the store! Just get it re made and apologize for been late everyone makes mistakes everyone falls over some time. Don't just carry on like nothing has happened and deliver that slammed pizza because I guarantee that won't impress the customer.
Anyway that subway guy sounds like he won't be in the job very long. Just because your working minimum wage doesn't mean you shouldn't have pride in your work. My friend works at subway and he's got such a good attitude. He knows is not the best job in the world but with the right attitude you could end up going along the promotion chain and management experience is a very good first step into a better job in the current employment climate.

Every time I ask for more olives at this one subway, the servers give me a look. You have to go to the ones that are new and have lots of people going to them.

Same thing happened with me at chipotle, I said no tomatoes, and she put tomatoes on. Although I just got a new one
This. I've worked part-time at a sub shop called Planet Sub for about 2 years now. It's basically a slightly classier subway. By the time I get to the end of my shift, I'm tripping over words, repeating questions, just doing things blatantly incorrect. I can't even hold a conversation, I just repeat the same question prompts at the register every time... whether they are needed or not.
The fact is that I've probably helped at least 50 people before you if it's a night shift, 200 if it's a day shift. My brain is completely fried. I don't follow conversations -- I just pick out keywords and hope it's right.

My brother got ecoli poisoning from a meatball sub at subway before. Some of the franchisees are just plain sketchy and badly managed.
The subway a block away from me has staff that have been instructed to put as little vegetables as possible on the subs, presumably to save costs. I go and have to ask 5 times for some of the vegetables for "more", "double that", "please for gods sake give me more veggies". I asked for lots olives on my sub and, no exaggerating, she put 5 olive slices on my footlong sub. I asked for more and she put 3 more. I asked for double and she put 3 more. "keep em coming". 3 more. At this point she started making faces at the other people in line as if I was being the most unreasonable customer she'd ever seen.
Yet...I still go back. Damn your delicious sandwiches!
That hapenned to me too the last two times i goes there, throwing up all night both time... eat fresh my ass.

Dude that sucks! The subway on campus kind of sucks, and they overcharge (instead of a 5 dollar footlong, it's around 7 bucks....like us college kids have extra money to spend...), so I usually go a mile down the road to an awesome subway. The dudes working there are pretty cool, and I'm like you: I hate the frickin lettuce from subway...It's nasty.

Just buy Safeway lumberjack subs or make your own. Working at fast food chains has taught me how awful the food is that customers are given. Constantly being told to put less fries, sauce, meat, vegetables etc.
Gotta save them monies!

At least subway is better then quiznos is now...
I remember in high school when quiznos was first starting out they had these buy one get one free coupons. Me and my friend would buy a large beef brisket sub and they'd use the whole loaf of bread for a large, we'd split the cost so it was pretty much 4 dollars each for a giant sub and the meat was delicious.
Now they might as well just hit you over the head with a shovel when you walk in and take your money.
I went there full of memories and ordered a large even though its more expensive then it used to be. The person behind the counter got out a loaf of bread and cuts off like a third of it. I said "I ordered a large" and was told " this is large" 
You know a franchise has become corrupt when they give you less, with worse ingredients and make it more expensive.

I feel like a lot of the time people at places like subway just hear "lettuce" when you say "no lettuce".

I hope you looked at him straight in the eye and said, "No, I said I don't want lettuce. Remake that."
I've worked in food services before and there's no excuse for that, no matter how little he's getting paid.

Food service needs more gentlemen like you sir
I feel like people get away with it / let people get away with it just because "it's a shit job"
No excuse. It's not a shit job if you aren't actually doing your job loooool

What? I'm seriously not trying to be mean, but you need to step your shit up. I was a server who dealt with just as many customers and with far more interaction, and while a shift could certainly be draining, you shouldn't be so mentally drained that you can't even concentrate enough to talk/listen and have a minor conversation. I hope you're exaggerating and this doesn't happen every shift like it sounds like, but if it is, you need some 5-hour energy or something .

hahaha good story man, made me laugh quite a bit ^_^

So I'm like "no lettuce please".
This asshole looks straight at me then puts lettuce on my sub.
and you still paid for your meal? ahhahahahahahah

Yea subway sucks, crappy ingredients and they always do something wrong. Half the time i leave subway without something standard like mayo, mustard, or cheese.
|

i feel u. subway employees at my school are the biggest assholes. bumping loud rap music and refusing to listen to your requests

I never get lettuce on my Subway subs either, but they instinctively take two huge handfuls and dangle the shredded shit above my sub and look at me for approval (or not) as if it was already 99.9% going to happen. It's just not going to happen. I don't get my subs toasted either, so when they immediately throw my subs into the oven (and I don't notice) and it comes out hard and crusty, it's their loss because we're starting all over again. And if they're assholes, then I'm going to try as hard as possible to match their attitude (and I'm generally a nice guy).
I'm just really not a fan of laziness or incompetence or "I just assumed you wanted X even though I've never met you before in my life". If you don't want to do your job right and cater to your customers, then you don't have to be working there. My jobs are a thousand times harder than yours, and I do mine properly, thank you very much.

Maybe my experiences are just different, but why did you even risk confusing the guy by saying 'no lettuce'? For me they've only put lettuce on when I asked for it, and they have never put it on when I didn't mention it at all.

Apologies to any and all of you who work at subway.
I went to subway for lunch today and it wasn't really busy so I thought "hey lets try something new today". So I go up to the person who works there and I'm like "Hey bro I'm feeling adventurous today, are there anythings that don't get tried much on the menu?"
I swear to god this guy just looked at me for like 10 seconds then said "no."
So I ordered my sub and he toasts it (burns it the first time so i have to wait again for him to remake it) and we get to the vegetables. Now I don't know about you guys but I fucking hate lettuce from subway. Its like this weird slice shredded lettuce that always has crap from the other vegetables in it. So I'm like "no lettuce please".
This asshole looks straight at me then puts lettuce on my sub.
Anyways I know all people from subway aren't like this but this really pissed me off today, and I needed to do something to let the innocent people of the world know the horrors of the subway down by my house.
I fuckin lol'd
I completely agree you needed to say something to at least get your sub remade.
