Subway guy was on phone while making my sub
 

Just wanna get everyone's take on this. So yesterday I went subway to grab a bite to eat. This was later in the evening so it wasn't all that busy. Maybe 5 customers in total (mostly eating at the tables)
I walk in and there's this guy who works there who takes my order but he's on the phone talking to someone. I got my sub and everything but I just found it odd that he'd be allowed to be on the phone on shift.. Is that even allowed?

who cares..

thanks for the thread btw, now i want subway.

was the sub up to par?

if yes, whats the problem?

Hm... well i'm sure with most jobs especially when you're dealing some sort of service or hospitality you wouldn't likely be allowed to even have your cell phone on you...

Did his use of his phone cause him to ignore you in any way?

In the evening they never work under supervision. There is only a manager per store, not even an assistant manager. Other than a few spot checks, there isn't a lot of checking on the off-shifts.

Basically, shit happens. If there is a complaint, it will usually be followed up on, but its up to the manager to give a shit. Given that they don't make a lot themselves, they may, or may not care.

When I managed a store years ago(Southwest Marine and Cambie-holla!) if they kept the place somewhat clean, didn't steal and showed up on time and tried to get through some prep, I was basically happy. Other managers acted like the gestapo with their staff, but at the pay rate I couldn't justify not being at least appreciative that people showed up on a daily basis.

It is Subway afterall, not McDonalds.

you are lucky he got your order right. the lady that works at the subway in waterfront center downtown just puts whatever veggies in your sub regardless of what your preference is.

^^ i remember 10 years ago i went to that subway at like 3am,and a guy from quebec had just moved here, for 2 weeks, and was already working there. poor guy, dealing with the bums at 3am that come in and just wanna cause shit.

wtf? which subway were you at? i saw this guy at subway once. it was hilarious!

i saw him eating 4 foot longs... shit i told him it only works if you eat one

haha reveal yourself!

That was tasteless.

was he using a hands free headset at least?

who cares if he was on the phone as long as he made your sub right then you should be happy.

what if while he talks, spit comes flying out of his mouth and onto ur sub??

if he was making my sub all wrong i'd probably walk away.
otherwise i wouldnt care. its not like it was a server at a restaurant or anything, just a fast food joint.

As long as he wasn't picking his nose and/or scratching his butt in the meantime...

^ yea pretty much, if he was screwing up then ya its a problem

but if he was making it the same way somone not talking on the phone was and handled everything fine i wouldnt care

i wouldn't like it. how often do people wash their phones? he would have to bring the phone up to his greasy face and then again when he's done. i don't want someone's disgusting face grease on my sub

Maybe he was the owner and was taking an important call?

Handling cash and touching your food is even worse.

you sound like a baby


you could always be a bitch and complain on the subway website, complaints get forwarded to the owner of the store your bitching about

maybe he was on the phone with the manager about inventory and shit

hhaa there is no reason why he should be on the phone, even if it is with the manager lol

Expect minimum wage effort for a minimum wage job.


Theres a middle aged asian guy who works (maybe hes gone now) at the Subway on Granville next to Holt-Renfrew who used to make subs and no matter what you told him to put he'd always put the same shit and whatever he wanted to put on the sub. The very last time I came into that restaurant I got into an argument with him because I didn't want lettuce on my sub. He started yelling at me that he "Needed to put lettuce on the sub". I couldn't believe that.

I let him make the whole sub, wrap it up, and I walked out.


Hell, he didn't even have the excuse of 'talking on the phone' for not listening to me.

SUBWAY IS OVERPRICED.

/thread

:wgaf:

hey OP i would be kinda offended too cuz i mean wtf i m trying to order
kinda rude i think

anyway i dont mean to steer this away from the topic but sorry im going to have to cuz i also want to rant
and too lazy to start a new thread

anyway so we're at transcontinental near waterfrontt and lets call these ppl person A and B

so A and B was ordering a pitcher of beer and the waitress asked them both whos tab would the beer be under..and person A was like we'll figure that out later

so as time progresses our waitress was cleaning up our table... and had one plate in her hand.. the plate was nudged by another waiter by accident b/c he didnt see
and the plate fell right on Person A's shoulder and it hurt like anal rape

so the manager came and was like we're so sorry ur bill is covered (person A only ordered soup cuz he wasnt hungry at that time, lol)

so as the bill came the soup was covered but we assumed the beer would also be taken care of but nope it wasnt..
so person A was like i thought the beer was taken care of (while aching in pain rubbing his shoulders) and the waitress was like nope it wasnt under your tab
and the manager was like i only took care of the soup

so in short , they were reluctant to take care of the beer but eventually they did
i'm just wondering what you guys think of that?
holy fuck its a long read haha
