Pranks and Work: Get back here!

Get back here!

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

SOOOO, to clarify, i'm a senior at subway, i had to usage ajust the 6 breads, which tells the computer that our bread order was 6 breads short, i could not eat them because it is against my stores policy, i was also by myself in the store, and there were 2 people waiting behind him. i had dishes, preps and the retarder to do after an extremely busy football rush, so these 15 minutes were theoretically added onto the end of my shift. oh and the main thing i forgot to mention, was that it wasn't just 6 subs with tomato on one, tomato and cucumber on another and so on... he ordered the works,on all of them, which not only takes longer but makes it extremely difficult to close the sub at the end.FML !!!

ah, yes, i have had this happen before. i loved working at Subway, dont get me wrong, but the crap that some customers gave the employees was messed up. i had a woman throw her phone at me, yelling "here! you deal with them!" when the people on the line that she was getting subs for couldnt decide what they wanted... yeah, i hung up the phone and told her to get to the end of the line, handed her a pen and paper and made her try again. she did go to the back of the line, and came back with a list, compete and legible. :) hang in there, its a good job, but people suck.

something tells me the glazed look was of fear... maybe it was an initiation of sorts while him and his gang buddies were high? idk.. waste of food, time, and effort for you.... waste of food, time and effort again...having to explain it to your manager. not such a waste if you got it on tape..because "if you got it on tape, you could get it in cashhH!!!" /quote AFV...

I agree with #54 and whoever else it was that said service industry jobs should be mandatory. You do get some real assholes at times. But seriously...the guy had to be embarassed the he didn't have the money. **** His Life.
