Pranks and Work: Get back here!

Get back here!

By matte - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, whilst working at Subway, I took an order for 6 footlongs. The entire process took 15 minutes due to the customer's hesitant and glacial pace. When it came to paying, he pulled out his wallet, looked inside, looked at me, and walked quickly out of the store. FML

Today, I waited in line at Subway. There were two people in front of me. The first lady had seven sandwiches and the second lady had four. So after patiently waiting, I ordered my sandwich, only to have my credit card declined. FML

Today, while working at Subway, I was called a "terrorist" and other names by a customer 'behind my back'. I made him the best sandwich I'd ever made, in order to leave a good impression. Then I had to say the wonderful words, "Your total is $9.11." FML

Today, while working at Subway, I was about to take a guy's order. He quickly held up a hand and asked for someone else to make his sub, because he doesn't like "ugly people" touching his food. FML

Today, I was doing takeout orders at the restaurant I work at. I spent a long while putting together this guy's $135.00 order. When he finally got there to pick it up, I told him to fill out the credit card slip. I looked at it after he left. He gave me a 40 cent tip. FML

Today, while working at Subway, a man ordered a sub with avocado. When I told him it was no longer available, he screamed, spit in my face and ran out, pushing over an innocent bystander in the process. FML

Today, a woman came in to order lunch. She ordered a sandwich then asked for me to configure it precisely to her complicated desires. This took a whole 5 minutes, during the lunch rush. When I told her the cost, she decided it was too expensive and cancelled her order. FML

Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML

Today, I got flustered by the gorgeous sandwich artist at Subway and ordered a “meat-long foot-ball.” On Rye of course. FML

Today, the guy at Subway asked if I wanted to make my sandwich a footlong. I'm not sure what came over me, but before I realized what I was saying, I'd told him that I couldn't handle 12 inches. FML

Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML

#3, the OP was at work, and usually if someone walks out on their food or for whatever reason the food has to be thrown away, it usually falls on the person that was dealing with the customer. So, if you want to say that it's not bad that they had to work, that's not why they are complaining... they had to deal with all of the wasted sandwiches and probably explain to their manager why the store was short a ridiculous amount of missing ingredients. OP that sucks for you.

this is hilarious because if anyone has been in the food business this would be a huge pain and waste of time. If it was you it was suck but if i worked with you i would be laughing my ass off.

#3 is an idiot. OP, you got every right to be in a FML mood. But at least you're not #3.

#11, in food service, instances like this happen all the time. People call in an order and then don't show up. Or somebody writes the order down wrong and then the food gets made wrong. Or people just decide to be bitches and decide, for no real reason, that they no longer want what they ordered. Mistakes, in most places, then are either thrown out or get to be eaten by the employees. Honestly this wasn't the employee's fault so I doubt they would have gotten in trouble for doing their job. This isn't a FML. Go work at a real restaurant and in some instances you'll have to spend 15 minutes on just one order of food. Meat takes a long time to cook, after all.

Haha, we had that on a Dutch television show called 'de Pulp Show', which features a guy who walks into a bakery and orders hundreds of sammiches and just walks away in the end, maybe you'll see yourself on a tv show anytime soon? :D

#4 She can't use those footlongs, because at subway the customers watches you make the sandwich and they pick what they want. Subway loses a small profit because of this guy (they used bread and products they could have saved for other customers)

I used to work at Subway... If I had discovered this site while I still worked there, I would have had a lot of FMLs to post. Compared to some of the things that happened to me, this is not that bad.
