    Time for some more Subway Rants spinoff!

    Here comes your fellow Subway slave in a student centre...with all sorts of unique things...

    People who FORGET their orders
    We don't write on the sub wrappers what they had. If our lunch rush didn't have at least a hundred sandwiches per hour we'd be able to do it. Except idiot SCs hold the line up ALL. THE. TIME just trying to order and these types of people are perhaps the worst.

    Me: "What kind of sandwich did you have today?"
    SC: "*garbled mass of words*"
    Me: "What was that?"
    SC: "Uh...."
    Me: "What was that? I couldnt' hear."
    SC: "...."
    Me: "What kind of sandwich is this?"
    SC: "I don't know..."
    Me: "What kind of meat was on it?"
    SC: "Uh....I don't know."
    Me: "...what was in the sandwich?"
    SC: "Italian."
    Me: "BMT or Spicy?"
    SC: "Uh....I forgot."
    Coworker: "He had Tuna."

    How on earth do you FORGET what you ordered?!?


    Learn my Language! I hate English!

    Yes I know English can be a hard language to learn. If I spoke Cantonese or Mandarin, I would speak them to you, except for that I have said "I'm sorry I don't speak that" at least FOUR times. This has happened several times last week...

    SC: *orders in chinese*
    Me: I'm sorry, I don't understand chinese.
    SC: *continues to speak chinese*
    Me: I don't speak that.
    SC: *continues to speak chinese*
    Me: *waits for them to finish*
    SC: (VERY heavy accent) ...you don't know to speak?! Everyone should speak chinese out here! I hate English! (It was once pronounced "eng-Lishe")
    Me: I don't know how to speak Chinese, I'm sorry.


    It just makes me want to become the Sub Nazi sometimes with how rude SCs can be. Because I can't count how many times I've wanted to say, "NO SUB FOR YOU!" to someone.


    I need to stock up on food...let's go to Subway!

    Seriously? SERIOUSLY? You're buying multiple sandwiches in case you get stuck in your house tomorrow? GO TO A SUPERMARKET! NOT SUBWAY!!! We all have homes to get to as well!


    Pointers

    This should be in just about everyone's list of pet peeves. You know why?
    a) It's rude to point. don't ask about a coworker and point at them.
    b) WE CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE SEEING!!! Don't just say "This stuff" and point to things, because guess what? we have different perspectives, and we can't see what your finger is pointing at. It's quicker to just say what KIND of veggies or sauces you want because then we have to ask "Onions? Peppers? This? This? THIS?" every time you point!!! UGH!!!


    The cheese Bread

    It's not so much the customer's fault, but a part of the job that just bugs everyone. No matter how much cheese bread we have, we STILL run out. I swear we can make literally nothing BUT cheese and wheat and still run out! We've literally just taken cheese bread out of hte oven only for the next 20 customers to ask for Cheese Bread.


    Contrary to popular belief, Bread is NOT at its best when it gets out of the oven!

    When we tell you we have herb and cheese but it's not ready, we MEAN it when we say it's not ready!!! You do NOT want that bread that came out of the oven. It's extremely hot, it's easily squished, and it's just a pain in the arse to get it out.


    Absolutely retarded complaints

    Don't complain that we don't speak chinese and write the complaint in Chinese.
    Don't ask for a refund because your toasted sub was too hot. Who ordered it toasted?
    Don't ask for a refund on sandwiches you already ate.
    Kangaroo Squee!

    But the next bite might be better.... Or the next bite after that.... Or maybe the last bite? How do you expect them to know if they need the whole refund until they've eaten the whole sandwich? :-P

      Your Subway better be in Beijing or else I'd be seriously tempted to tell him to go back to China if he wants people to speak any Chinese dialect to him.
      How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?

        Right! Let me just pull that knowledge right out of the ether!
        SCs and unreasonable requests. Argh.

          ...Or perhaps Hong Kong or a major metro area's "Chinatown" area...those are pretty much the only places I can think of where (a) English would be the de facto language spoken, and (b) it would be reasonable to expect people to speak at least pidgin Chinese...

            The only language I can understand people in my country clinging to is Spanish after all they got here first.

              It's rude to point.
              Oh, oh, oh, OH, OH, OH, I HATED that . . .

              When I was working a cash register, I hated the pointers even more than I hated the people who talked on their cell phones while I was ringing them up. And believe me, that is really saying something.

              I was once ringing up a purchase for a woman, and at one point, she noticed a small promotional picture (for our store's discount card) on my nametag (which we wore on cloth strings around our necks).

              She immediately pointed right at it, her arm fully outstretched over the counter, and said in a demanding voice, "10% Off? What's that? How do I get that?"

              In the process, she was basically pointing her finger right at my chest, which I found intrusive, discomforting, and frankly, rude. I began explaining the discount card to her, but even as I was talking, she just kept pointing, her finger never wavering.

              I shifted back and forth along the counter a couple of times, hoping she'd get the hint and stop pointing, but she didn't. She just moved her arm to keep her finger pointing at my nametag, as if she thought it would disappear if she took her eyes (or her finger) off it for a second.

              Just rude, rude, rude.

              Yeah, I remember one time . . .

              I was waiting in line at one of the small restaurant counters of a Mall Food Court.

              Now, there was a small sign at the edge of the counter listing the different brands of soda that they carried. The sign was visible to the customers, but well out of the sight of the cashier on the other side of the counter.

              The customer ahead of me placed her order, and when the cashier asked her what she'd like to drink, she simply looked at the sign, pointed to one of the sodas, and said, "This one."

              Completely ignoring the obvious fact that there was no way for the cashier to see which soda she was pointing to.

              The cashier tried to peer over the counter, and said, "Ma'am, I can't see-"

              To help things along, I told the cashier which soda the customer was pointing to (Mountain Dew), trying my best not to roll my eyes as I did so.

              I don't think that she really counted as a sucky customer, just a little odd.


              I definitely feel your pain on this, Digitalpotato.

              “Ma’am, this is a thrift shop. The tag on the bracelet says $1.50. It comes with a matching mood ring. What do you think?”
              “I don’t know.”
              “Yes, it’s real.”

                Contrary to popular belief, Bread is NOT at its best when it gets out of the oven!
                I have to disagree with you on this one. There is pretty much nothing I'd rather eat than a slice of bread fresh out of the oven covered in butter. Of course, I'd never want to use bread that fresh in a sammich.

                  Except that bread is HOT. And the pan it's stuck to is even HOTTER!

                    Arctic -- I think the latter issue (unsuitability for use in a sammich) is what DP was referring to ^_^

                    I looooooooooove me some fresh French bread hot out of the oven...but I'm gonna let it sit a little while before I try to MAKE anything with it
