This tale happened as recently as 15 minutes ago. I just got off work and CS was the first site I loaded up just to tell this story.
My co-worker was already helping some people when this woman walks in. I tell her I can help her over here when she's ready. She starts out normal enough, and tells me she wants a footlong Spicy Italian.
This is where she became a picky EW. Not necessarily an SC yet, just picky. You know the types; the ones where they freak out if something isn't on a certain side or made exactly to their specifications. Because obviously the sandwich will TASTE DIFFERENT if something is not on the right side!
Anyway, she then tells me she wants cheese but on the side. This is the first time someone has ever wanted cheese on the side. Ok, whatever, I go and put 4 slices of cheese in one of the cookie bags.
Right after the cheese debacle, she wants me to go squirt the mustard into a cup and then get a knife and spread it on her sandwich from there because "your bottles squirt out way too much!" It was annoying but whatever. She at least thanked me for taking the time to do it. I said "no problem." thinking that was going to be the worst of it.
When I finished up her sandwich, my co-worker was already at the register getting ready to ring up her two people. Their order was seperate and she already had their sandwiches in seperate bags up front. To make sure the sandwiches didn't get mixed up, I put my woman's sandwich into a new bag and held it in my hand to wait for her to get one of the other bags out of the way so they wouldn't get mixed up. I see my customer hawk eyeing me like I had just murdered her first born. I didn't know why. Then when one of the bags was cleared I set her sandwich down. Keep in mind that several other customers have walked into the store and were getting their orders started by the manager.
This is where she turned into a mega EW complainy bitch.
SC: My sandwich better not be flat! I want you to open it and check it because you were squeezing it and holding it like that and if it's flat I want you to make me a new one!
Me. (are you fucking kidding me, here we go again...) *I open the sandwich up and there wasn't anything remotely "flat" about it. The only thing was that our wheat bread was kind of soft and it had the normal "collapsing" of a soft breaded sandwich.*
(she was going on as if I took a rolling pin out of my back pocket and went to town on her sandwich just for the hell of it! Apparently "flat sandwiches" just don't taste the same!)
SC: See! Look! It's all flat on that one side! I'm going to need another one!
(I didn't feel like getting myself fired today so I just let her rant and bitch while I took the next customer. The manager was also at this point asking her what was wrong with it and trying to explain to her that that's what happens when the bread is soft)
SC just kept on going about how I "flattened" it and how she's "had this issue with me before". Funny how she is the first person to have ever accused me of making "flat sandwiches."
Manager knew her complaint was rediculous but remade her sandwich, and I told manager to "make sure you get her original sandwich back" because it wouldn't have put it past me if she was trying to scam.
Then, like how all SCs and EWs make total asses of themselves, she kept on going on about "I'm not a complainer, but ______!!"-----"I don't want to be difficult or anything, but _____!!"
Irony at its finest.
After she finally left, all of the other customers started to make fun of her and with my witty blunt sense of humor pretty soon I had the whole store up in laughter over her rediculousness. I kept sarcastially saying "because I obviously carry a rolling pin around with me and whip it out just to give myself a thrill!"
I even told them that this story was going on the internet as soon as I got home. Even my manager was laughing.

It does make it taste different... 
I think my mind is going down the gutter...FAST.
I don't know why customers have to make things more difficult than it seems when they have to order something.
