  • They're NOT all $5, dumbasses!

    I hate, hate, HATE how some people have got it in their heads that EVERY SANDWICH we sell, regardless of how much meat and cheese that goes on it, should be $5.

    We have a menu, the prices are clearly marked and it's rather obvious which sandwiches are and AREN'T $5 and if you don't know, why not ask BEFORE you order instead of going through the whole thing and then bitching at me when we get to the register?

    This is a daily, oftentimes more than daily occurrence. *sigh*

    It's enough to make a person crazy, I agree! The guys at my regular Way of Sub have taken to telling people at the beginning whether it's a $5 sandwich or not, they had to deal with this so much. "Hi! Can I have a *insert sandwich here* on *bread* please?" "You know that is not one of our $5 subs, ma'am?" *cue sadface as I realize what they must deal with every day* *tip at least $1 per employee I see*

    My heart goes out to you.

      I was in Goodcents the other day and someone ordered: "I'd like a $5 footlong ham and cheese, with double meat, and double cheese." Then couldn't figure out why they had to pay for double.

        I feel for you. Back when I worked at the pizza place, we often had special offers on pizzas. These special offers were very exact; for example, the buy one get one free was on collection only. The amount of times I had an SC shriek, "But I want it delivered!" -.- The annoying thing was, the offer was very clearly marked, it wasn't small print. But then, for some people, it could be in foot high neon pink letters, and they still wouldn't see it.

          I hate that, when someone thinks they get to decide the terms of YOUR offer/sale/promotion/etc, or that if it doesn't conform to what they want they just decide to modify it. No, dumbass, it doens't work that way.

            The old manager at the Subway I frequent used to tell people if what they are ordering was part of the promotion. I went in one day.

            Me: I'd like <Sub I know wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being a $5 footlong>
            Him: Just to let you know, this isn't one of our $5 footlongs.
            Me: I'm aware. I saw the sign you have posted.
            Him: You'd be surprised how few people see it.

                  Not related to the topic, but does it take you by surprise when customers keep asking questions about the spinich? No one ever expects a spinich inquisition.

                          I've mistakenly ordered the coldcut combo instead of the $5 club like I intended and I got surprised at the register. However, I realized it was my own error, kept my mouth shut, and paid up. I wish more people would be too embarrassed to bitch about a few dollars.
