Would you like some Suck with that Sandwich?

[ExArtShopSlave]

So, tonight, after the hubs and I got home from work, I decided that I had a major Subway craving.

When we entered the store, I did notice a woman and daughter standing by the register. Nobody else was at the counter, so the Sandwich Artist took our orders. At this point, the mother and daughter were behind us and nobody else was behind them. Hubs and I paid for our subs, found a table and started eating.

Cast:
SM=Sucky Man
SW=Sucky Woman
F=Sucky Man's friend

SM: S'cuse me mam, but the line starts here! (Note, according to the Hubs, SM was standing in the little hallway leading to the mens room, no where near the counter, I didn't even know he was there!)

SW: No it doesn't! We were here first!
SM: Miss, you were talking to your daughter! A line is for taking orders, not chatting!
SW: Excuse me?!?!? THIS is where the line starts and we were here first!
SM: Lady, you don't know anything! I was here first! You were talkin' to your daughter! I am on my F@$KING lunch break! MOVE!
SW: Don't swear in front of my daughter!
SM: Don't cut the line then!
SW: F@%K YOU!
SM: Now who is f#$king swearing in front of her own daughter, huh?
SW: F@%K OFF!

F: (note: the friend was sitting behind me) Whatcha going to do, lady? Call the cops?

SM: 'Storms up to friend' C'mon Bob! We're leaving. 'To woman' Yeah, nice parenting there, Mom!
SW: F@$K YOU!!!!!

See, its wierd. I don't think she cut the line. His buddy was seated when we got there and we took our orders before the SM did, then the two ladies got in behind us and there was absolutely no line when we arrived. Plus, I don't know how he thinks the line starts in that little hallway, as the counter is hardly near it.



Sorry for the long post.

As sucky as the guy was, I have to agree that it's a complete waste of time to stand in line to order food and hold up other people that are ready to order because somebody is chatting away and not paying attention (or just plain not giving a shit).

Was the Sandwich Artist waiting to take their order when they were chatting? Because I chat all the time in line; I just stop when it's my turn to order (ex., person ahead of me just finished or the employee is prepping before taking my order, whatever).

If the guy wanted to be in line, he should have been in line. That escalated pretty fast o_O

If they were there before you, and he reckons he was ahead of them, why didn't he shout at you guys?

Perhaps he learned the hard way not to shout at men, or at anyone with a man.

on a side note... this reminds me of the times i stand in a line and the person ahead of me decides to chat and turn to the side.

it doesn't always happen but sometimes someone will come up and somehow ONLY manage to see the person who is turned and thus starts to queue up directly behind that person thus turning a straight line | into a Y. like wtf, there's a line already. take your fucking offshoot to the back.

Thats a good question. When we went in, the only people in the store that I saw at the time was the two women and the man's seated friend. When you walk into the store, you can kinda see down the hall to the mens room and when we went in, there was absolutely nobody there. Methinks he was in the bathroom.

I usually go to Subway super early (to keep in the fridge for later), when there aren't many people, but on the weekends or random days off, I might stop by during lunch time for one to eat right away when I get home.

My biggest peeve are the people on their phones who wander away while ordering, or the people who can't stand still and keep looking around and wandering away.

For goodness sake, pay attention and quit wandering around so the whole process doesn't get so messed up!
