11 Struggles Of Working At Subway, As Told By Abby Lee Miller
Isaac Trujillo

We’ve all had our fair share of crappy first jobs, whether it be working long hours in retail, running around waiting on tables, or being a slave to the fast food industry. They all have their upsides and their downsides, but if you’ve ever been an employee at Subway, you know just what it’s like to live the #SandwichSlave lifestyle.

Bawling your eyes out while doing onions.

No, it's not a boy problem.


When you count the cash drawer at the end of the night and you're short $200.

Lol, whoops.


It’s the day crew vs. the night crew, and it will always be that way.

If the day crew left the place somewhat messy, the night crew uses it as their excuse for being behind. The night crew didn’t do all of their prep? The next morning’s employees are screwed.


The switch from the old system to the new POS.

The first day they installed the new POS system and you were immediately expected to know how to use it.

“Can I have a six inch?” *begins cutting footlong in half* “I said I only wanted a six inch.”

WE. HAVE. TO. CUT. THEM. FIRST.


That feeling when you are forced to close early because you've completely run out of bread:

"Welcome to Subway, we have one six-inch wheat left."


“Would you like a six inch or footlong?” Customer: “What’s the difference?”

I can't.


Not being able to do anything with your friends after work because you totally reek of bread...

"I gotta go home and shower first."


The person who orders seven large meatball subs with every veggie and three sauces...

Can you not?


The amount of willpower it takes to not eat every cookie that you bake.

White chocolate chip macadamia nut....'nuff said.


And finally, that overly friendly "What can I get for you?" voice and smile that you repeat 100x a shift:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
