| 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?

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 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

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.

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
