anyone else notice when your subway sandwich assembly expert extraordinaire just haphazardly lobs your two or four cheese triangles at your sub? never placed for optimum coverage, it's almost as if they don't care!


more subway quirks to come

ever notice when your Sandwich Artist puts a handful of banana peppers on your sandwich and spreads them around real nice - conveniently ignoring the huge honking pepper stem mixed in there?

5/28/2009 1:06:00 PM

at the subway i frequent i had to quit ordering mayo on the sammich bc the bitch would put like 4 thick lines on there

5/28/2009 1:07:22 PM

oh fuck. i bit down on a banana pepper stem on sweet onion chicken teriyaki i got one time back in smithfield and it was so nasty that now i can't get banana peppers on any sub. i seriously almost puked. didn't finish the sandwich. it was like biting down on a stick or something.

5/28/2009 1:07:57 PM

Or when you say 'lettuce', they grab the smallest amount they can grab with 3 fingers.... HELLO! I WANT LETTUCE ON MY SANDWICH, GUY! Then when you say more, they grab with 4 fingers...

^^i make it a point to tell them "take off that there stem son" and they're always shocked when i say something

subway sucks

5/28/2009 1:09:18 PM

i actually watched the girl yesterday pick out my banana pepper stem. i was silently appreciative.


this reminds me of something else

i usually order the veggie max which is a flat, rectangular patty. more often than not they just plop it right in the middle of the sub instead of lining it up with the sides so it folds over easy. it's almost as if none of subway's employees even graduated with a civil engineering degree!

5/28/2009 1:10:21 PM

It's a conspiracy!!!

i usually request they add a single strand of my hair placed length-wise with the rest of my ingredients

making sure i keep all my power where it belongs, you see

5/28/2009 1:14:06 PM

I was upset when I told the guy I wanted A LOT of olives....and I got loud when I said it just so he would recognize.

Dude put 10 olives on my sammich. So I axed for more and he gave me 5 more olives

My feelings were so hurt.

5/28/2009 1:15:34 PM

i stopped asking for extra pickles because it becomes pickle sandwich for some reason.

why are they so plentiful with the pickles, yet stingy with the olives?

5/28/2009 1:16:21 PM

The ingredients are rarely properly organized my son. You'll come to expect this in the future.

5/28/2009 1:17:01 PM

trust me i am quite well accustomed

but i have recently noticed myself noticing cheese placement and how it's never quite right

5/28/2009 1:18:42 PM

subway sucks..... agree

5/28/2009 1:28:23 PM

subway sucks

5/28/2009 1:32:35 PM

i'll tell you what... the subway in durham across from work is always on point. I'm finishing my meatball sub at this moment. mmmmm.

5/28/2009 1:39:34 PM

yeah yeah subway sucks, water found in ocean, atrium on fire et cetera

5/28/2009 1:40:41 PM

oh, and i asked for extra cheese and he gave it to me without charging me anything

5/28/2009 1:43:05 PM

They are also very stingy with cucumber. Which is weird because I am the only person I have ever seen get cucumber.

5/28/2009 1:49:17 PM

They damn well should be son. Shit costs money son.

5/28/2009 1:49:53 PM

the worst are the people who act like they've never been in a subway before when ordering


they've had the same goddamn menu for years. the process is ALWAYS the same. bread -> sandwich type/meats -> toppings.

these dickheads try to order everything all at once when the condiments and toppings are clearly at the other end of the counter and then these fucksticks get upset when the employee doesnt remember what they said way back when they were on their bread type and length.

its fucking subway. jesus.

5/28/2009 1:50:00 PM

^ couldnt agree more. even if it is your first visit it isnt fucking hard to figure out

5/28/2009 1:53:55 PM

What's even better is when people come into Quizno's and assume that the process HAS to be the same as Subway's, even though subway is the only restaurant I know of around here that uses that procedure.

People will go to Quizno's and ask for something, say a Mesquite Chicken. They will say nothing more and will walk down to the cash register. When it comes out of the oven they start yelling "I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO PUT RANCH ON THAT!", etc.

If they went to McDonalds and asked for a #4, would they expect that the people are going to ask them what they want on it?! Quizno's has even started doing number based orders, so you can actually just ask for a "Number 5" now.

5/28/2009 1:54:41 PM

that one afro-carribean spanish girl that works at the subway on Avent Ferry finds a way to fuck up my order every single time...as I watch. Her english sucks.

5/28/2009 2:03:26 PM

extra lettuce
extra tomatoes
every time

5/28/2009 2:06:57 PM

There's a jackal at the Jersey Mike's here who thinks he should make your sub the best way he sees fit, much like a chef at a fancy place won't cook you meat well done because he thinks it ruins the flavor (it does)

He will ask if you want mayo, you will say no, then he will say "It will really be much better with mayo...perhaps just a little ?"

Or if you want ranch on a sandwich that wouldn't normally have ranch, he'll try to talk you out of it, as to not disrupt the marriage of flavors on the sandwich

Some people get frustrated but we think its funny...sometimes we get order fucked up subs (like honey mustard on a meatball) just to hear him try to talk us out of it

5/28/2009 2:08:45 PM

haha, that is pretty funny. When i used to work at jersey mikes i would suggest things that i thought were delicious. but never try to talk someone out of their order.

5/28/2009 2:10:50 PM

I find it funny that when the owner of the Subway in the shops of Kildaire makes my turkey sub I get 5 pieces of meat, but any other employee puts on the standard six.

5/28/2009 2:15:28 PM

It's called being nickeled and dimed my son. Get used to it with sub sandwich restaurant owners son.

5/28/2009 2:16:29 PM

no kidding. if the customer says the word extra, thats 30 cents. even if its extra salt

5/28/2009 2:18:05 PM

i never get anything on my subway subs other than cheese

ham and cheese w/ mustard or a meatball with just cheese

5/28/2009 2:18:28 PM

I THOUGHT YOU LIKED TO PUT PENII (PEEN-EYE) IN YOUR SUBS DNL SON.

5/28/2009 2:19:02 PM

I thought the meat was already portioned out into servings?

William Perry's brother owns the subway right by my work and he hooks you up with the meat and cheese

He doesn't make the sandwich, but sometimes he'll man the register

and if you're a big guy (I'm not, but a frequent customer) or look really hungry, he'll tell the sandwich artist to "load that rascal up" and you end up with some 1.5 pound Carnegie Deli style roast beef monstrosity for 5 dollars

Pretty cool

I went a long time between visits to Subway. From back when it was just white or wheat bread to a few years ago. Many years.

I'm man enough to admit that I looked at the menu for a pretty long time before I figured out all the new shiz, because I didn't want to get the old standby (roast beef on white, lettuce, tomato, mayo, salt pepper oregano) with all these new options to work with.

5/28/2009 2:32:24 PM

well trying to decide what you want and ordering completely out of order and with no regard to procedure are two very different things

Not really.

this is my standby, exactly (minus the mayo)

5/28/2009 2:38:46 PM

i never got pissed at people who didnt know what they wanted. i got pissed at the people giving me toppings when i was slicing the meat.... son

people on their cell phones are the worst.

5/28/2009 2:40:20 PM

I BET YOU HAVEN'T HAD TO DEAL WITH A BLUETOOTH EQUIPPED CUSTOMER YET SON.

5/28/2009 2:41:57 PM

i graduated and had a real job before bluetooth was popular. I think i caught a few though

5/28/2009 2:46:25 PM

NICE SON.

WELL, I'M SURE THEY'RE A REAL NIGHTMARE SON, BECAUSE I CAN NEVER TELL WHEN ONE IS TALKING TO ME OR TALKING TO THE BLUETOOTH.

5/28/2009 2:47:47 PM

it would be the worst if they were getting someone else's order from bluetooth and repeating it back to them.

confusing as shit
