The ten dumbest things I get asked at Subway

[Digitalpotato]

10. "Can I get a Poutine?"
Why it's stupid: Because this is Colorado and not Canada.

9. "Can I get a Big Mac?"
Why it's stupid: THIS. IS. SUBWAY!!!!!!

8. "How much is the $5 footlong?"
Why it's stupid: I don't know, you tell me. Unless you were asking me for the price with sales tax.

7. "Do you have Pepsi?"
Why it's stupid: Take one look at the soda fountain...do you see Pepsi? And take one look at the cooler...do you see Pepsi?

6. "Do you do deliveries?"
Why it's stupid: Because this is Subway.

5. "Do you guys take checks?"
Why it's stupid: There is a sign right in front of you and I have to tell some of these people NUMEROUS times we don't take checks.

4. "What kinds of sauces/Cheeses/Meats/Breads do you have?"
why it's stupid: There is a sign right in front of you that says this, there are also a thing called a "Menu". Try reading it!

3. "Does the $5 footlong deal work on 6-inches?"
Why it's stupid: Repeat after me...Five dollar FOOTLONG.

2. "Can I have a meat sandwich?"
Why it's stupid: How quaint. You have failed to specify what KIND of meat, since there is NOT just one kind of "meat".

1. "Are you guys open yet?"
Why it's stupid: Because the gate is up, there are people in line, there are people eating Subway sandwiches, and the lights are on.

10. "Can I get a Poutine?"
Why it's stupid: Because this is Colorado and not Canada.

While the others are certainly facepalm inducing, and I will be billing you for the cost of braincell retrieval, I do need to ask 2 questions.

1. They have fries at subways in Colorado?

2. They don't have poutine in Colorado?

I have a feeling this is gonna be like the whole debacle when I told a friend we had fries at Taco Bell...

Re: #10... Yeah, the Subway here doesn't have fries, much less poutine. Does your Subway have fries?

Re: #6... The local Subway does, in fact, do deliveries. They don't have their own drivers, though... the customer pays a bit extra to a cab company for the service.

8. "How much is the $5 footlong?"

"For you? $6.50."

(Surprised that wasn't #1 )

Another Coloradan here. What part are you from?

[Plank]

10. If you go to a store that sells them, then probably

6. I can throw it at you it that helps

5. Do you take verbal abuse?

4. Those (point from where you're standing, wherever that is)

2. Yes. (wait silently, staring them straight in the face)

1. No (go back to serving)

[Digitalpotato]

Fort collins.


And no, we don't have fries at Subways in Fort Collins. We have, however, had someone wth an obvious north american accent say "Well where are the chips? no, I meant CHIPS. As in potato fries." probably to make a scene.

3. "Does the $5 footlong deal work on 6-inches?"

Yep, you get two identical 6-inch subs for $5.

I had to google "poutine."

Looks interesting, but also like a heart attack on a plate.

I'm from Aurora myself. I think the managers of my favorite Subway will be moving up to your part of the state. Not sure when, but I'm gonna miss them. They were cool.

6. "Do you do deliveries?"
Why it's stupid: Because this is Subway.

And if the customer doesn't know what Subway does and doesn't do, it's not a stupid question.

[Jetfire]

Quizno's delivers now (at least up here), and there may be some Subways that do deliver. If it's a standalone/minimall location that might not be too strange a question to ask. Inside Mall/Campus locations it'd be a stupid question.

Ah, you must've gotten this customer. Yep, it's always fun dealing with Captain Oblivious.

Our Subway does deliveries. But you have to pre-order and it has to be above a certain value, but they do deliver.

In other news, I've never encountered a Subway that serves fries. Or anything fried at all, really.

Um, bag of chips?

But just imagine if Subway did fry stuff: You wanted it toasted or fried?
