Bizarre Rules That Subway Employees Are Forced To Follow

[@MashedFood]

Have you had any personal experience encountering these rules in action?

[@tekkaikenmega509]

Some of these are wrong it depends on the franchise tho

[@Waterhead]

Anyone who says "The customer is always right." has never worked in retail.

[@Carlosmillereats]

Exactly! I get upset everytime I hear that statement

[@MrMojo23100]

So very true, the customer is rarely, if ever, right.

[@stevenrogers9263]

So true!!!🙏🙏 People need to fucking check themselves at the door before being seated at a god damn fucking restaurant table!! Be kind to your server (especially during busy lunch/dinner hours, and even MORE SO if they are the only server on the floor!!)

This is so true. I used to work at Subway. If you want more Olives don’t come during lunch rush hours with the Manager being there.

[@vexbo7]

i work at subway and the olive rule is bs. ive never been told how many olives im allowed to put on a sandwitch

[@SarahRenz59]

These are the rules set down by Subway corporate, but most Subways are owned by franchisees, and they do whatever the heck they want. Some are great about following the rules, others not so much. I've gotten ripped off twice by ordering online, only to go to the store and find it closed -- somehow, I don't think "if it's slow, call it a day and go home early" is in the rulebook!

[@thegrays3303]

I go to Jersey Mikes they are so much better than Subway.

[@Ferindel]

my subway always assembles veggies randomly, especially olives. I used to have a black olive addiction and I would always ask for them, and they would just randomly throw them on. It was always more than 6 from what I remember. I love my subway.

[@christophermichaelfuller5448]

I haven't heard anything from Jared lately. Did he break some kind of rule?

[@bamafencer12]

When I worked at Subway it was 3 rings for the green peppers and 2 tomatoes for a 6-inch sub.

@@jersaidlopez5221 they always are considering cookies are something that goes by fast they’re made usually everyday sometimes you skip a day

[@Mr_Oggie]

I didn't think any of these were actually "bizarre" The cookies on a sandwich might be strange, but it is a customer requesting it and not a normal menu offering... otherwise they have formulas they follow for building sandwiches which is to make sure there is consistency in the menu and then as is part of their whole "have it your way" system you can customize the sandwich. Asking for ingredients or condiments "on the side" is something you can do at most fast food restaurants and the idea of "arrive early and stay late" is more for employees who think "My shift starts at 2PM" and so they arrive at 2PM and go in the back and get changed, put their stuff away, etc and end up not actually walking on the floor until 15 minutes later - inconsiderate for somebody whose shift ends at 2PM and wants to go home but has to wait around until the arrival is ready or else run the risk of leaving the restaurant short handed while somebody is dillydallying in the back getting ready.

[@MrMojo23100]

Walking out with a bag of lettuce because it won't fit on the sandwich sounds "bizarre" to me.

The six olives is BS, worked at a subway and never heard of this and all the subways I've been to never limited the veggies

[@dylansoar684]

It’s not b.s you’ve just never heard of it. It’s a rule at every subway, it’s just franchise owners choosing not to enforce it

[@hellhound1389]

@@j.d.contreras392 if you're counting veggies you've got bigger issues than too many olives. Sounds to me a way to cut corners so you can keep a mismanaged restaurant from going under. Here's a radical idea... if you make your customers happy they come back and then your store won't be in dire straits

[@robertyoung6727]

Thank you for the point on cooking cold cuts

[@kai.lex.and.]

It’s not true. Half of this video is whack.

[@blockberryc]

It’s just for chickens, steak, and bacon the normally cold meats arnt heated

[@USNVA11]

Suggestion, skip corporate trash food like Subway and go to your local mom & pop establishments. Guaranteed you’re going to get better food because they’re going to want you to come back to THEIR establishment.

[@iketyson718]

I have no idea what happened to Blimpie they were better than Subway. I passed by a Blimpie the other day prices were insane! I didn't feel the vibe so I kept it moving.

Yo, sorry for being late to the party, but you brought up Blimpie. Remember the Blimpie Best sub? FIRE. Ain't been there in YEARS.

[@tamara7859]

I almost never comment but I LMAO with this. I mean, in Puerto Rico you are never greeted when arriving. If you ask for extra veggies, they will throw in 1 extra tomato or 4 pieces of onion. Never seen the employes happy either. The whole heating the meat thing is if they remember.... I once asked for a chicken teriyaki sub toasted on italian herb and cheese and it was cold, in fact just pulled from the fridge. Also had to repeat my order 4 times once! First when I pulled up to the drive threw, again after she had asked me what veggies I wanted, then again when I pulled up to the drive through window and again, when I was waiting to be pay. I just got tired and drove off since it still wasn't ready tbh. The girls that worked near my college were gone soon after.... new people were hired. Oh well.

[@GarudaLegends]

i just ask them to give me as many pickles to almost be fired.

[@jpablo700]

And according to reddit you must jump on your right foot twice and twist your two fingers on the left hand to enjoy a subway sandwich. This of course according to subway employees who post on reddit.

[@TrueAnakinSkywalker]

I wish the people at the Subways I go to knew how to make their own subs. Anytime there is a new sub I’ll ask for them to make it exactly how it comes and they look at me like I have a second head. They will usually say “it comes however you like” and I spend 5 minutes pointing to the picture and telling them to make it like it looks in the picture.

[@TrickyNano]

You expect them to memorize the recommended veggies on every sandwich? This is so stuck up.

[@TrueAnakinSkywalker]

@@TrickyNano yea, I think subway expects them to so they aren’t wasting product…idiot. I used to work at Starbucks, I can’t imagine someone asking for a caramel macchiato and me standing in front of the cup asking them “so what do you want in it”? Places expect their employees to know these things so their products are being served to expectation and that they aren’t wasting products by giving away too much or too little.

[@jamie7664]

@@TrickyNano LOL they should keep the ingredients listed somewhere to use as a visual reminder or something. Asking a customer to tell them each and every ingredient is extremely rude and beyond poor customer service, even for fast food.

[@blockberryc]

We are not trained anything to do with the picture they put those there but that’s not how subway works, plus no we won’t be able to remember every detail of 5 new subs every time they switch the specials

[@blockberryc]

@@jamie7664 that’s how subway works though that’s the whole point of them being made in front of you, you say what you want lol, and that’s not subway workers fault, cooperate gets us to put those pics there but we are never trained like that we are trained to ask the customer what they want

[@recoveringsoul755]

So if I pay for a service, and don't receive it, am I not entitled to a refund? That's happened to me, also getting gas once the pump wasn't calibrated correctly and they charged me for more gas than my tank can even hold. Refused to refund the extra 5 gallons I never got, told me that my owner's manual was wrong. I should have called the police to report theft. I can only imagine how many people got ripped off that day

[@zachwhite595]

@@recoveringsoul755 not talking about gas. That’s different from the food industry. It’s more of a small mistake that happens an easy fix or what ever it is, I will make it right unless you come in super mad and yelling you can then F off. When I started working at McDonald’s I closed the cash register before getting the change out. Told the guy sorry and I get my manager to open it real quick to give the rest of the change he went crazy and even started being racist to my manager. She should just gave him the change and told him to F off
