The Tigress and I have already covered a lot about the annoyances of working at Subway, but right now, i'm gonna vent about stuff that happens to me every day!
People who think the $5 footlong is $1.
Yes, this happens. There is another deal called the $1 footlong sidekicks, and if yo useriously think that this makes a footlong a dollar, then you need to get the hell out of this school and back to an elementary school where you can learn how to read, as well as learn basic logic. HOW would we have a $5 footlong and a $1 footlong at the EXACT SAME TIME?! We souldn't make a dime off of that, esepcially since all the gold-diggers have started loading up on the Chicken Bacon Ranch. Seriously we can make a lot of money by NOT making the chicken bacon ranch a $5 footlong....
"I had a $5 footong!"
WHAT KIND DAMMIT?! We need to know for inventory purposes, and he needs to know down there because we cannot make a sandwich if we don't know what's giong to go IN it! The people who don't specificy on numerous occasion are the worst. One time someone just said $5 footlong numerous times so we just left the bread blank. Turns out...HE WANTED JUST BREAD!!!! -_-
"Does the five dollar footlong work on six inches?"
...READ THE DEAL!!! It says "Five dollar Footlong". If you want to get two six-inch sandwiches of the exact same kind, that is allowed. (Piggybackers have benefitted greatly from this deal.)
"Does the Five dollar footlong work on Wraps/Flatbreads/Salads?"
...again, read the bloody deal! If it says "Five dollar flatbread", then it works on flatbreads. If it says "Five Dollar footlongs", then it only works on FOOTLONGS.
-Why don't yo uhave footlong flatbreads?
This one's okay, but that doens't make it any less annoying for us, or the customer.
People who say 'no' when I ask if they want a meal deal and then take chips and a drink anyways.
Just because our Soda Fountain is self-serve, that does NOT give you an excuse to steal things! The chips are NOT free. We have had th same boxes of raisens since 2008 because people kept stealing them. You paid for a sandwich, and the only thing you can take for free is a plastic cup for water and water ONLY!
People who say they paid for a cup for water when they fill it up with soda
That's not free, fyi. I said the cup is for WATER. That is NOT for SODA. Only our employees can take soda in a water cup, because they WORK here. Besides, 99% of people don't know our water cups have lids so don't come crawling to us when you fill it to the very brim and spill it when some Urbanite College student bumps you without saying "Excuse me".
People who say 'yes' when I ask if the ywant to make it a meal deal and then they DON'T take the chips or a drink and come back and say we overcharged them.
Seeing as you seem to just think "yes" is the correct answer to "What kind of cheese would you like?", you'd think every question is a 'yes' or 'no' answer, right? wel lthis is one of them! If you want a meal deal, answer 'yes' or 'no'. this may be my fault since I may ask "Would you like to make that a meal deal?" and they think that just the sandiwhc is a meal, but at least 80+% of the time this happens is when I ask "Would you like Chips and a Drink with that?".
More...more...more...MORE DAMMIT!!!
Recently we've been yelled at for the copious amounts of olives and pickles we've put on some of our sandwiches. So I put th subway regulations, only 6 of each for a footlong and that's apparently not enough. so they just ask for more, more, and more until we wind up emptying half the tin on there. Geez, do you want some meat with that olive sandwich? Then the manager says "don't put so much on there!"
more..More...more...HEY THAT IS TOO MUCH!
...when you say 'more', i just put another regulation on there.
Having to tell six people in a row that we're out of herbs and cheese.
This is part of my job...but that doesn't mean it's any less annoying.
The single most POPULAR kind of bread is the Herbs and Cheese. Meaning we're gonna run out of that before almots anything else, and of course, since they don't know we're out or the Herbs and Cheese is currently inedible due to being out of the oven or doughy, they ask for it anyways. It gets annoying when yo uhave to say "we don't have herbs and cheese".
When we only have one kind of bread left
Because guess what kind of bread absolutely nobody requests?
Are you guys open yet?
...there are three people in line, it is 9 AM, the Gates are up, it states that we open at 7 AM on numerous signs for people wanting an application, and to top it off, some of th epeople who ask these come here EVERY DAY at the exact same and ask if we're open.
People who think we open at 6 AM.
Fortunately I haev NEVER had to deal with these, but some people seem to be inside the student centre at 6 AM and sneak in the gate opening that's about 18 inches for one person to move the chip rack around and turn the soda fountain on. But, in a subway in a strip mall or standalone (if they exist), some people actually come in through the BACK DOOR at 6 AM and place orders. or even the front door, which is usually unlocked in one of the Subways in town because it's in a strip mall and the back door opens up to a loading dock which is used daily by a Grocery Store, so it is actually more convenient to go through the front door.
...also, since there are other mall subways that report 6 AM orderers, how are you even getting INTO The mall building? The doors aren't unlocked until 9 AM! You can't get in before them legally!
whatever goes on it...HEY WHERE ARE THE VEGGIES?! WHERE'S TH ESAUCE?!
we don't have anything that goes on most subs. Only recommended stuff. The staff has different recommendations.
