NO EXCUSES.
I DEMAND PERFECTION AT SUBWAY.

ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECTION AT SUBWAY IS AN AFFRONT TO MY AUTHORITY AS A CONSUMER!

Haha. Also, haha @ OP's apparent megalomaniacally egotistical notion that the guy behind the counter has an empty, one-track mind and exists for the sole purpose of serving him and his every whim perfectly every time. You know, because it's not like we're all human and retain the capacity for mistakes and failure or anything.

Maybe dude behind the counter had his identity stolen and is stressed about trying to put his life back together. Maybe he unexpectedly got served with divorce papers that morning. Maybe his day started with a flat tire that lead to an accident that wasn't his fault but now he has no transportation until insurance comes through and has real life issues that require the use of a vehicle that public transportation cannot fulfill.

There's a shitload of reasons that someone's mind could be preoccupied with stuff that matters enough to make a mistake on stuff that doesn't matter.

Dude, it's mayo. On a sammich. For lunch. ONE DAY out of your entire life. And you get pissed off? Holy shit, man. :laugh:

For high school drop outs and other idiots, then yes it is a very difficult job.

Its all relative.

Relative, indeed. I work at Intel in a lab with product engineers who have degrees and are some of the smartest people I've ever met. I frequently answer their questions and I know for a fact that many of them couldn't keep their head screwed on straight in a fast-paced physical environment with half a dozen things going at once, multitasking like a motherfucker.

Can I write up a bios from scratch? Hell no. Can I out-class any of these guys away from a keyboard? You bet your ass. Does that make me dumb? No, I have an IQ or 146. Does that make them dumb? No, they're pioneering the bleeding edge of the technology industry.

Relative my ass, it's about experience in the job and practice.

e-peen++

can I have your babies now please?

You suck as worse than the guy making his order. He ordered a roast beef.

Or the guy taking your order may be new and can't find a magical button on the ridiculously complicated register for your whiny special order and would rather make fun of you quietly for ordering fast food and having the balls to ask for a custom order. Jesus christ, if you want something specific go make it yourself. If you want something fast and cheap made by someone who isn't paid enough to give a shit about your fucking faux-health-concerns or your frivilously picky taste, expect mistakes.

Have you ever worked in fast food? Do you have any idea how fast paced and stressful it can be?

Fuck you, asshole.

Wow you god damn retard, it was at a Subway where the person taking the order is also making my food. The girl has been there at least a year, which is moot because it doesn't take a genius to understand what "NOTHING ELSE BUT THESE TWO ITEMS" means.

Not to mention no one else is in the store, it's well before the lunch rush hour, so it's not stressful in the slightest.

Go die you pathetic loser.

The moment I saw the bolded text I grabbed popcorn. no0b flamer is no0b.

FYI "you god damn retard", there's a difference between veggies and condiments. You say, "nothing else but veggie 1 and 2" and it's perfectly reasonable to assume you haven't given any special instructions regarding condiments. They're in two different classes.

I'm not sure to be impressed or disappointed at your lack of "disassembling the troll" in this thread, nik. I feel like the popcorn may go to waste. 🙁 At least I didn't bother to get a lawn chair.

:lips:

Any and every Subway I've ever been in will ask "what would you like for dressing / condiments". Only a moron would hear "Olives and lettuce only" and think "Welp, time to slather on some mayo!" Beyond that, even if no "special instructions regarding condiments" are given, what about that states "add condiments"?

However, if they asked you if want to put anything on it[veggies], it's also perfectly reasonable to assume they would ask you if you want to put any condiments on it which she didn't and proceeded to put mayo on it without asking.

Cry more.

They didn't ask. He didn't specify. Maybe mayo is part of what makes the specialty sammich a specialty. Would you order a BLT and get pissed when they put tomatos on it? No, because that's what the sammich comes with. Don't assume anything. If you KNOW you're going to be one of those pain in the ass customers who has to custom order everything, say something before the dude gets too far into making your order?

You should be disappointed. I'm slipping in my old age 🙁 I just don't have the touch anymore 😛

Let's face it, fast food jobs are so mind-numbingly horrible, that even if you put Einstein behind the counter you'll still get mixed up orders.

LOL

See? I put a period there but the key didn't register. I'm having to retype some things a couple times to get it right. There's a couple dozen spare keyboards on a rack about 60 feet from me but I'm too lazy to go get a replacement. 😛

Just curious, what kind of lab do you work in? Testing out chips and stuff?

Are you an engineer as well?

This is why unless the store makes it in front of you just take it the way they make it.
