    Parmesan ... in a sandwich ? What was the rest of the stuffing, pasta bologna ? xD
    Granted, I like putting Comté in mines, but I don' t remember ever seeing it as an option anywhere. ^^

    My youngest sis is shameless for that kind of thing. The last time we went to the restaurant she said she' d order her desert once she' d be done with the rest of the meal. The waitress told her three times she absolutely had to order it right know, but my sis kept ranting about how she couldn' t know now what she' d want to eat in half an hour. I literally facepalmed.

    I went to a Subway for the first time recently. I didn' t find them that dreadful, though they don' t really compete with regular bakery sandwiches. And the price was outright theft. They might be slightly tastier here though, I know for a fact Mc Do burgers vary between countries. I saw one with pork in Andorra. Not sure how it is with Subway, but the one I went to didn' t have lettuce types, just lettuce.

    Actually, this isn't one particular instance, it happens all the time. Sometimes there is indeed a blank stare. And sometimes they look at you like you're the idiot for not reading their mind to figure out the cheese they like. XD

    As for why I was working there, it's simple: I had absolutely no drive and didn't care about my future in the slightest until I was twenty-one, so I sat around my parents house and didn't do anything at all. Therefore, when I was twenty-one and finally went to get my GED, I had never had a job. It took me months to find one, because nobody wanted to hire someone who'd never worked before, and so I finally got the worst job in the world in a greasy spoon in a waterpark, with numerous health code violations (I was the only cook who wore gloves) and coworkers who lied and took off in the middle of their shifts and cussed out each other, me, and the customers, and at least one of them had sticky fingers in the till, though we never learned who. But! I worked there until I moved, and then I got the job I'm currently talking about, because I knew the assistant manager and he knew I pulled my weight and they really needed help over the holidays. That and I really didn't want to go through the whole process of working extra hard to find a terrible job because all the good ones don't want to hire people who screwed their lives up by not getting a job until they were twenty-one. XD

    Now that I look at it, it's not all that simple, but it's why I was working there. XD But now I moved again, to a place where I don't know anybody, but hopefully it will be easier now that I've had two jobs and I've proven myself at both.

    Actually, lactose free, gluten free, and dairy free customers don't bug me, because the place I worked at catered to the health crowd.

    But there was one customer who really got on my nerves. She paid for a garden salad, which was you just go down the line and choose what veggies you want on it, and then we got down to the sauces, which are the last step, and she declared that we didn't have any vegan options so she wanted a refund. So I pointed to the list of sauces we had up, which, as a store that caters to the health crowd, listed which sauces were vegan, dairy free, gluten free, and all three. And we had like, six or seven vegan sauces. I explained how to see which ones were vegan, and she didn't even look at the list, just said again: "No, you guys don't have anything vegan for me, give me my money back."

    And then my manager who was behind me stepped up, and he hadn't heard me, and he was like "Ah, see, we have a list for you on the glass right there, it lists our vegan sauces-" And she was like "You don't have anything for me, I'm a vegan, I can't eat your food. Give me my money back." And he was like "...Yeah, okay, but you gotta wait in line again at the register." Because he wasn't gonna let her cut in front of the other customers. XD

    So yeah, she was the only vegan customer who caused problems. XD

    Okay, I'll just out with it: I worked at Pita Pit, and it was a great job. So we made pita sandwiches, and so we had feta as an option for gyros and falafel and stuff like that. Actually, my store didn't have mozzarella, but we did have grated parmesan for those who asked for it. But we didn't really count it as a cheese, so I really was just like "We have feta, provolone, cheddar, and pepperjack." And the mozzarella extension, I made up to add an extra shredded white and make it more frustrating. XD YOU CAUGHT ME, I'M A LIAR! XD But the rest of it was true. They want cheese, the white kind, the shredded kind. Pepperjack. They just couldn't say pepperjack. XD

    Again, this makes me laugh. I personally would have been like "Nope, you already started on your order, so you must now finish it and pay for it". I know technically you can't do that, though if you could, or at least a manager did at some point, I would pay them just to have seen it happen. There are so many things that you wish you could do in your job but can't.
