10 Problems That Subway Workers Experience

Subway has its ups, downs, and funnies.

10 Problems That Subway Workers Experience

If you work at Subway, then you know about all or most of these problems we have. It's infuriating and some are even hilarious.

1. People who get everything on their sandwiches.

I've literally had someone get a meatball on flatbread and get everything on it, then complain to me when the bread is soggy or it's messy. Like there's no way to fix that. Or, they usually just at me as I try to close any of the sandwiches.

2. Say yes to multiple options.

Me: What kind of cheese would you like?

Customer: Yes.

Me: We have American, provolone, swiss, pepper jack or shredded.

Customer: Yes.

3. Customers who order while on the phone.

This is the most annoying thing ever. Like can you not hang up a phone call for at least 3 minutes or at least let the person behind you go first.

4. Customers that come in and tell you everything they want in 10 seconds.

Customers will literally stand in the meat section tell you what kind of sandwich and veggies they want before even telling you the bread or if there's cheese or if it's toasted. Like how am I suppose to make a sandwich without knowing the bread.

5. Chipotle.

I hear so many different ways to say this word. It's Chi-pot-ley. Not chippotle or "that spicy mayo"


6. Meatball on flatbread with double meat and all the veggies.

Literally what I said above on #1.

7. Hi, How are you?

Me: Hi, welcome to Subway, how are you?

Customer: Yeah, I want a Turkey on white bread.

Me:

8. Coupons.

I don't think customers understand that coupons have codes on them to let our store know if we can take them or not and it's also OPTIONAL. I've had customers cuss me out and threaten me over a coupon I couldn't take before. Stop with your childish act and just pay for your food. You're only getting like a dollar off anyway.

9. Stupid questions.

I literally had a person come through the drive thru one time that was like "Which sandwiches come with the meat and cheese?" or like we have a deal on all the footlongs being 6 dollars and yes on the board it has any in big letters but I still get the question, "Is it any footlong?"

10. Drive Thru.

Don't even get me started on this. This is the most annoying thing a subway could have. Mine is literally right next to a train track and it's hard to hear customers when it's going by. Not only that, but people are even more ridiculous in the drive thru. If you've never been inside come inside first because we do it the same way as coming inside.


Rant over.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
