    WHY does Subway attract stupid, indecisive people? - LANGUAGE alert!

    So today I clocked out for my 30 minute lunch at 309pm. My son works 5 minutes away, so I figured I'd be nice and drop him at work. On my way back, I made the unfortunate mistake of stopping at Subway to get a sandwich to go.

    I arrive and the line is 5 deep just waiting to order, and about 3 deep between the assembly line and the cashier. There are two people working.

    Now, one would assume that because the line is fairly long, this would be a good time to peruse the menu and mentally make your choices, right?

    If that were the case, I wouldn't be reporting this. *sigh*

    After waiting a good ten minutes or so just to get to the 'pick your bread and your meat' part, the woman in front of me decides to 'hmmm' and 'no, wait...THAT one' her way through JUST THE FUCKING BREAD CHOICE.

    God, this is going to be BAD.

    She hems and haws, then decides she wants a 'BMT, no...wait...a ummmm, what is it called again? Ummmm, a SUB CLUB! No, wait! Is that on the 6 grams of fat list?'

    Jesus. Just pick the meat. What the fuck have you been doing for the past 10 minutes?

    Then comes the cheese choice. 'How many grams of fat does THAT one have? Well WHY don't you know?'

    I died a little inside as we get to the vegetable part.

    'I want 4 tomatoes, a little bit of lettuce. No!!! That's too much!!! Light onions....MORE than that! Geez!'

    It just went on and on. I felt so sorry for the girl making the food.

    Seriously, I know this board has Subway emps on it. HOW in the hell do you put up with it? I don't have a poker face, so I know I'd totally get fired.

    Oh, and I clocked back in at 3:52pm. Thank God my boss is cool and we're slow, and he appreciated the chuckle when I was describing this fuck-wit.

    Because people have no regard for other people, employees, customers, abject strangers, etc.

    Subway attracts EWs because of the whole 'make your own' spiel... so they feel, well, entitled to take as long as they want, demanding a sub as perfect as possible.
    I like things that go *bang!*

      Wingates Hellsing pretty much summed it up.

      I seriously believe the whole idea behind Subway was to make as many EWs as possible. It's just as bad at the one I work at. The people who really grind my gears are the ones who want mundane things like the cheese or the sauce on a certain side. Seriously people, when you close the sandwich it's all going in the same spot!

        I feel for you guys. It seems like every time I'm in Subway there's at least *one* indecisive half-wit holding up the line. Although admittedly, this one was the worst I've seen in awhile and me wanting to get back to clock in from lunch made it worse I'm sure.

        Sadly for you, it seems to be quite commonplace.

        I bet you're a hell of a poker player though.

          No, but I'm a hell of an UNO player. :P

            demanding a sub as perfect as possible.

            Footlong, almost any of the breads, steak and cheese, extra onion, extra capsicum*, most of the rest of the salads (normal amounts), no pickles or olives, light mayo or ranch dressing, light salt and pepper.


            What? That's perfect for me. It's easy!

              That'll work.

              Or anything tht requires you to be able to hide your true feelings via your facial expressions.

                Actually I have pretty expressive body language in general even when I try to hide it. I'm not going to lie, I can be a pretty big smart ass to customers in return *when they deserve it* and I do have a bit of a reputation, but people either love me or hate me there.

                  I'm a huge fan of the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. Nothing custom about that.

                    Everything's custom at Subway.

                    One of my pet peeves. As much as it's kinda cool, I also many times just want to point to the thing on the menu board and say "make me that". I don't want to choose my meat - what meat does that come with? Looks good. I don't want to choose cheese. I see cheese sticking out the side of it in that photo, just use that type of cheese. I don't even want to choose the freaking salads - just put "what it comes with" in there and if I don't like it I can pick it out.

                    Seriously. I'd like to order "I'd like an xyz please" and get it, and pay. No other interaction.

                      Oh goodness....this is why I made my own Subway customer rant thread a while back. The stupidest people gather to eat at Subway. Then we poor few and far between intelligent beings always end up trapped at the end of the line, at least having an idea of what we want and what we want to put on it...

                      The only time I never have a problem at Subway is on weekday mornings. I'm the only one there

                        Oh yes, I get all sorts of these SCs at Subway all the time....they also love to change their mind and make us waste money remaking the sandwich. Because guess what?


                        They say "I'll have some Chipotle Southwest" and then say "NONONOWAIT I MEANT RANCH!". Riiiiight after we just put the chipotle on as well.
