When you work on a sandwich making assembly line

And someone orders "Cheese."

And you look down at your five kinds of cheese and ask "Which kind? Feta, provolone, cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack?"

And they say "Uh, the white cheese."

And you ask "Feta, provolone, mozzarella, or pepper jack?"

And they say "The, uh, shredded."

And you ask "Mozzarella or pepper jack?"

And they point at the glass and say "That one."

...Why!? Is it really that hard to say the names of what you're asking for? I don't understand. XD

 

Evidently.

 

I come to find people just find cheese as cheese. Being able to say the name of it means that they actually gave more thought than they believe necessary.

 

Yeah, but it's still really annoying to the people who have to try and play guessing games to figure out what kind of cheese to put on a sandwich because someone can't be bothered to listen to the word you say when you point at the kind of cheese they want and repeat it back to you. XD For homelife, let cheese be cheese. When you're ordering a sandwich and you can clearly see more than one kind of cheese, put in at least a little effort. XD

It's also annoying when you have shredded iceburg lettuce, leafed romaine lettuce, and baby spinach, and you ask "Would you like any lettuce or spinach?" And the customer says "Yes." And you sit there for a second, and then say "Lettuce or spinach?" And they say "Lettuce." And you say "Iceburg or romaine?" And they say "The regular kind." And yes, four times out of five, they mean iceburg when they say 'regular,' but there's always that fifth time when they're talking about romaine. Both lettuces can count as regular, depending on who's ordering! So then when you point at the lettuce you think they mean, and say "Shredded?" They look at you like an idiot and nod like "Duh..."

And then you move on to vegetable and ask "Do you want any vegetables?" And they say "Yes," And don't tell you what vegetables they want.

Bottom line, I'm feeling complain-y about sandwich lines. XD

 

Real talk: everything at subway tastes like cardboard. It's a mockery of quality sandwiches.

 

Real talk: You assume I'm talking about Subway because they're the most popular sandwich line company. ;D

Actually, I don't care for Subway much at all anymore because in the tiny town I lived in for the past twelve years, the only two chain restaurants in town were Subway and McDonalds. However, I did try to get a job there once. The interview went well, I was told that I'd probably get a call, the town was so small that the manager knew my usual order and noted that I wouldn't need much training because I already knew how everything worked, and my last name was synonymous with reliable, trustworthy hard workers because again, small town... And then they never called me back, and they gave the job to someone else who quit like a month later after I already had a different job, and I was able to feel smug about it because that happened at every place that didn't call me back, and each one of them should have hired me instead. XD

But yeah, Subway is pretty lame. I'd still eat there if it was a choice between that or McDonalds, but I'd eat just about anywhere else first. XD

 

How are we friends?

 

lol, um, because we can put aside differences like sandwich provider preferences and enjoy each other's company anyway?

Also, don't take it too personally, part of the reason I don't like Subway is I don't like sandwiches in general. I'd prefer Potbelly's or Jimmy Johns over Subway, but I don't frequent any of them. XD

 

Nah it just reminded me how much I don't like it. I mean if it was a choice between subway and some fast food place and I wanted to eat "heathy" I guess I'd choose it.

 

Fair enough. lol, Real Talk: I make too many assumptions myself. XD

 

I guess that should have been directed at Luxord instead of you, but you work as well. I completely oversaw his reply.

 

Oh! It's also annoying when someone orders cheese, and you list the kinds you have (i.e., feta, provolone, cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack,) and they order "Parmesan." And you're like "Oh, no, I'm sorry, we don't have that." And they're like "Oh, what kind of cheese do you have then?" And you list them all again, and then they're like "Hey, do you have mozzarella?" And you're like "NO, I just said I did twice so I could trick you!" Except of course you can't really say that. XD

Or when they stare at the cheese going "Hmm... Um... Oh gosh, I'm so sorry... Let's see... Parmesan!" And you're like "Sorry, again, we don't have that, and now you're holding up the line!" And they're like "Ohmygosh, that's me, miss indecisive! Let's see... Um... Man, I really wanted Parmesan. It stinks that you don't have it. Um... Huh... Well, I guess I'll go with feta then. I really wanted Parmesan. I might not wanna come back here, if you don't have parmesan, haha." And I'm like "GOOD DON'T COME BACK, WHO NEEDS YA!?" Except, again, you can't say that. XD

 

Cheba Hut and Quiznos destroy Subway and I want a Cheba Hut sandwich right now.

 

Hahahaha, this made me laugh so hard. I don't know why, but it's so true. TV shows make fun of people like that all the time, but when you see it in real life, you realize the truth. The horrible, god-awful truth that there are those kinds of people out there, and you had the unexpected luck of running into one of them.

So, how much time passed in this instance? And please tell me they had a blank stare in their eyes the whole time

Another question, why are you working at this type of place in the first place? Food jobs suuuuuuuuck

 

Teriyaki chicken only great sub

 

This thread breaks my heart just as much as the homemade vs jarred sauce debate.

 

serving the public in general is a mind numbing experience.

 

Just be glad you haven't met one of those annoying people who ask stupid questions like "do you have any lactose free cheese?" Or the "What are your vegan options?"
That annoys me too much these days.

 

God forbid people are lactose intolerant or are vegan. Fk those guys rite?
