    Then why did you order it?!

    So at Subway, whenever someone wants more cheese or meat we have to tell them ahead of time...yet some people say "okay I'll pay" and then act all clueless at the register.


    SC: I'll have a footlong Roast beef and ham.
    Me: So you know you'll have to pay Double Meat for it.
    SC: Uh...okay.
    *makes it*
    Me: Your total comes to 8.34
    SC: WAHT!? Why's it so much?!
    Me: It's roast beef and it's double meat.
    SC: It's that much? then I don't want it. *leaves*


    ...why do you order something anyway if you don't wanna pay for it? -_-

    I hate that so much. You even warned them in advance so they have no excuses for that. I have a feeling they were betting on you forgetting when you got to the register to ring them up.

    We warn people here too if they want a really expensive sub like the Philly or the Feast. Most people are like "OMG THAT'S OVER 10 DOLLARS?! NEVERMIND!" but select few are ok with it. But I think it's sad in itself that we have to warn people. But if we don't they would just bitch and moan at the register because hardly anyone reads anymore.

      Some people will complain about the silliest things. I've had people argue with me that the meal they had was £3.99 and it was on the menu for £3.49...ignoring the fact that there are two clearly simple and seperate columns of items.

      Also, fair enough if you have it once without realising the price, but I'd be willing to bet that the people who complain never learn about it and expect to get magical free food.

        Of course they do, because they've probabay gotten it before. Sadly, the people who whine the loudest -- especially about things they should be capable of understanding -- end up being catered to the most, especially if the store in question is part of a large corporation. They don't ever learn because they don't *have* to, evidently.

          Not to mention it even states on the damn menu that extra cheese and meat are of course, extra.....der der der!

          I guess people who want that much cheese really don't want to poop. Maybe they are trying to cut down on toilet paper. But let me tell you, if you plug yourself up good enough and for long enough, that footlong and everything else will come out as one big brick eventually, and you will use twice the TP you originally planned on!

            The people might think it will cost more but not that much. Still its silly to just not pay the extra doller.

              Back in my grocery store days, I was a cashier and my favorite thing was people who would come with a shopping cart brimming full of stuff and then saying they only want to spend $20. So I ring up the order, total it up and have the person say that's too much and then proceed to go through the stuff..."Well, I don't want that...Nope...not that either", etc. If we had to void over $5 worth of stuff, the manager had to come with his golden key to unlock the register. Then there is the joy of cold go backs....

                i still find that funny; people who expect more not to cost more. the magical fairies automatically replenish that extra cheese/meat at no cost to the store, and they are just falling all over themselves to supply it to you for free, because you're their bestest best customer. HOORAY!

                even though i know they don't read it, extras are posted on the boards, along with their prices; i get avocado and am not bothered by the cost, simply because i love having it on my sandwich. mmm, extra.

                just like getting extra anything, i pay for it if i want it, with no complaints, just happy thoughts of the extra goodies.

                    the thing i dont get is this..

                    I've been to subway many times. there's that lil thing called a MENU right there behind the counter.

                    I mean it doesn't take a PHD in math to figure out a sub thats like $9.50 will cost OVER $10 if you get double meat etc. on it.
                    but then, as everyone says, if it made sense it wouldn't be an SC.
                    Common sense... So rare it's a goddamn superpower.

                      Let me tell you, that is not in any way unique to retail.

                      I now work as a project scheduler, planning out projects for companies so they can track their resource allocation, costs and lead times. People who have signed multi-billion dollar contracts still get pissy when they want to change the scope of a project and get told what it will cost.

                      Considering that even a reduction in a project's scope can increase costs (if contractors are already mobilised, materials already bought and on site, etc), it's always fun watching a manager who's been put in charge of a programme of work an order of magnitude larger than anything he's managed before go ballistic because things are not what he expected.

                      I guess the moral of the story is that even if someone is spending seven figures, they're still liable to be sucky.
