Subway Screwups

As you probably know, the Subway sandwich line is usually setup with 3 people. This first person takes your order and starts the sub. The second person puts on the toppings. The last person takes your cash and does the actual order.

Today every single person failed me.

The first lady totally ignored my order the first time. She just looked at me a few seconds later like nothing had happened and I had the awkward moment of having to say my order again. After that she asked if I wanted it toasted and I said yes. And that’s all that happened. She didn’t toast it. I had to ask for it to be toasted again.

I told the second lady exactly what I wanted on my sub 4 items at a time. Lettuce, tomato, pickles and cucumbers first. She put on lettuce, pickles, tomato then reached for green peppers. I had to interject otherwise I would’ve had some nasty crunchy peppers on my sub. Then I asked for mayo, honey mustard and salt and pepper. And after honey mustard I almost got some green sauce.

And the last lady… This really isn’t her fault but when I was giving her a $20 I kind of lazily reached over and she didn’t quite grab it. I was confused for a second but then I realized she was only 5′ tall and actually couldn’t reach and farther. I had to keep moving my hand forward slowly pretending that I was going to do it all along. That one was kinda my fault.

Apart from this I had never really had bad service at a Subway this won’t stop me from going there again. I just find it very unfortunate how many times I was failed in one attempt.
