*is still picking up the remains of her brain which leaked onto the floor*
Warning: This is ranty.
Just got home from the shift from Hell.
Today was one of the most irritating work days I have had in a really long time. For starters it was extremely hot and muggy here; so hot that the gloves would stick to you which made them nearly impossible to put on. Add to the fact that we have no AC right now.Then to top it off it seemed like EVERYBODY had the same idea to eat at Subway all at once.
If that wasn't enough, everybody also wanted huge orders like 4 or 5 sandwiches apiece.
This here was one of those moments where I thought I had seen it all but apparently not.
In the middle of said rush, I'm doing meats in the "Assembly Line" form and one of the customers tells me that he wants 18 pieces of pepper jack cheese on his footlong meatball. Not 15, not 16, not 17....18! (note that footlongs come with 4 pieces of cheese) I actually asked him if he was kidding, and he said "nope!".
So I put "18"(I think I lost count halfway through) pieces on there, and passed his sandwich onto my co-worker for veggies and basically told him to just "go to town on the double cheese button."
Then later on still on same said rush, another customer wanted every single sauce we have on his sandwich....Every. Sauce. I think I could have went swimming in it.
After all that was over and I thought things were going to be better from there on out, but low and behold we get a "clock beater" who shows up 5 minutes tilll close and wanted a complicated order. If that wasn't enough, she also last second decided that she wanted bacon on one of her sandwiches when my co worker was nearly done with veggies. (that really pisses me off when people do that) It was 10:03 by the time we finally got her out of there. (we close at 10)

ats you on the shoulder:: It'll be alright, my Sandwich Slave Kinsfolk. I have a Clock beater lady nearly every single night, and I offer this: when that clock ticks more than five seconds past closing time, you are no longer obligated to present that fake plastic smile we all learn to put on for customers that bug the living begeezus out of us... Activate Death-Glare!
