This is a long one so bear with me.
Here I go to fix my craving for a Subway sub. I go into a new Subway that I have not been in before. I go up to the employee and he asks for my order. "I would like a Turkey Breast & Ham on Wheat." The guy goes to the bread warmer a grabs a bun and I notice something odd about it, it had stuff on it. Looking at the the lovely picture Subway provides on the class I identified this bread as Honey Oat.
Me (with a chuckle): "That's Honey Oat, I said Wheat"
Clerk: "Oh sorry sir"
At this time I determined that I was dealing with a rookie, but I didn't mind. I will just put on my patient hat and move on.
Rookie: "What sub sir?"
Me (with funny look): "Turkey Breast & Ham"
Rookie (to Dummy #1): "How much meat would I put on if they order double meat?"
Dummy #1: "What did he order?"
Rookie: "Turkey & Ham"
Dummy #1: "You would put four turkey & four ham"
I'm thinking, does this guy understand when he said? Why doesn't he just come and check on him? No one's in front of me. Anyway the rookie proceeds to put the meat on the sub. And more meat, and more meat,......AND MORE MEAT!!!! Man he packed it in tight (I know ewwww).
Rookie: "Would you like it toasted?"
Me: "Yes"
Rookie (looking at the sub): "What cheese would you like?"
Me: "American"
He puts the cheese on and then asks, "Do you want this toasted?".
Me: "Um....Yes"
He puts it in, pushes as series of buttons, and hit start. A lot of minutes later he takes the sub out and struggles to get it back to the counter. I notice that there are burn marks on the bread.
Me: "That a little too dark, eh?"
Rookie: "No"
Me: "Yes it is"
Rookie: "I put it on the right time"
Me: "Whatever"
He proceeds to put on my veggies and place on mounds of onions. I told him that it was too much. He takes it off and starts to wrap my sub up. Part of the sub is showing and his coworkers were laughing with him. He finally get the sub wrapped up and in a bag and he hands it off to Dummy #2.
Dummy #2: "What sub did he have"
Rookie: "Turkey & Ham, Double Meat"
Me: "I didn't order double meat"
Dummy #1: "You sure?"
Me: "Yes"
Dummy #2 takes my card and swipes it then get an error.
Me: "Does it not work?"
Dummy #2: "This computer has been acting up all day. Where is the manual card swipe"
Dummy #1 (Pointing down): "There"
Dummy #2: "It's not there"
Dummy #1: "Oh there it is"
He then has trouble working the device and I said, "You know what, forget it. Dump the Sub." And I left.
Time at place: About 30 minutes
That was horrible. I did get my sub, just at a different location. I wil never go back to that Subway again.
Wow..you should have just smacked the shit out of them...yeah..a good old fashioned bitch slap would have done well. Sorry for falling apart @ your casa last night.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it. It does say a lot though that you came to us and we could play a part in help you make it better.
ReplyDeleteI can officially call you my sista. For reals.
Hey, you know what else that Subway thing reminded me of...remember that one time @ the movies on Tuesday nights when you were all like...No ice...but he put some in anyway and you go NO ICE!!! And then he jumped so high that it took a gigantic spatula and PAM spray to get him off the ceiling???
