The average sanwich order that I always get from every Subway normally with a smile was a great challenge for the girl making my sandwich on 8/25/10 at 4:42 p.m., . A 6 inch tuna with swiss on white/ toasted w/ tomatoes lettuce and mayo. She drug herself into the assembly line and rudely asked me what was it I was getting again "you was just gettin a...

Subway Think twice you rude customers

okay, all you people that have the most unnecessary complaints about subway, how bout you look at it from the other side of the spectrum. I work at a subway and have some advice for you brainless people.
1)we cannot put four handfuls of onions or a whole container of pickles on your sandwich. Everything has guidelines just like every other store. Stop complaining how you don't get enough vegetables and learn that unless you want to start being charged for vegetables, let us follow OUR OWN RULES.
2)everyone says that we have a bad attitude. first of all get off your cellphone while being in the store, stop yelling at your kids or talking to friends. we have a job to do and we would rather not want to wait for you to get your act together. We ask the same questions for every sandwich, so help us out by just telling us what you want. We don't need our "robotic or monotone" voices if you would juss tell us answers to questions before we ask them.
3)if you tip your waitress/waitor at a restraunt for just serving your food, then why dont you tip or even thank the people that make AND serve your food. Its so hard to even hear a thanks from customers anymore.
4)We DO NOTTTTT want to hear lame jokes, like when we ask what can i get for you? then do not use the following responses: a million dollars, the winning lottery ticket, a sandwich, or WORST OF ALL-- I DONT KNOW. you know you are obviously coming to subway. you have thoughts about subway. how do you not know what you want? and if you are ordering for someone and we ask, for instance, what vegetables you want- dont say whatever you usually put on or i dont know. WE DO NOT HAVE A USUAL THAT WE PUT ON! every customer is different and has what they like and by saying i dont know, WE HAVE NO BETTER IDEA!
5)at my subway, we dont do mini sandwiches anymore. stop complaining and just get a six inch. if you get a kids meal, you HAVE to get APPLES, not chips, and WHITE/CHOCOLATE MILK OR JUICE BOX, not pop. we don't have any control over this. we cant jus put make your own kids meal on our computer. also we do ham, turkey, roast beef or veggie for minis. as you can read this does not include veggie, bologna or chicken. also, you know what your kdis are going to get PLEASEEEE DO NOT LET THEM ORDER, we cannot hear them and they are slow. im sorry, juss bein strait up.
6)LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT: DONT SAY I NEED OR I WANT OR GIVE ME. USE YOU FCKN MANNERS AND SAY CAN I PLESAE HAVE. ITS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDE WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE A IMMATURE CHILD. 4 OUT OF 5 CUSTOMERS DO THIS. DONT BE ONE OF THEMMMMMM!

td577: get your facts strait. there is no longer a "works" subway has gotten rid of it for about a year now. thanks though for tryin to bash me, even though it didn't work. and i am nice to customers, they are just rude and such. obviously you seem like a person who sits behind a desk dealing with nothing but computer issues. ha. whatevs.

Shannon35: there are parents that let their three year old order. not only are they not above counter height. but their voice doesn't carry to your ear and they don't even know what subway is. I can handle a 9 yr old. duh. you are stupid.

I totally agree with some of the complaining points! But, like many have posted, this person sounds unglued! There is nothing more annoying than trying to wait on someone who has a phone PLUGGED INTO THEIR EAR! It's beyond rude. Perhaps a good response would be, take your time, I will wait on the next customer, let them stand with their phone glued to their ear wondering why they aren't being waited on!

Too many times I've been in a Grocery check out with the person in front of me having a PHONE PLUGGED INTO THEIR HEAD, and the poor cashier is trying to get their attention. At this point, I would love to see the customers groceries put aside, and tell her there is a long line, and when she is ready, she can go to the end of the line!

But, unfortunately there are too many obnoxious rude customers who never learned common courtesy, but at the same time, the job requires much patience, and if your one who lacks patience, working @ a SUBWAY is not the place for you. I find many Subways are owned by Foreigners who's English leaves much to be desired, along with their communication skills, which can be frustrating. Technology has created some serious problems, but guidelines have to be enacted for everyone.

I went there [protected]. I gave the cashier $27 dollars for a $16 order. I waited to see what the cashier would do. She just gave me the cent change and the receipt. I told her she gave me the wrong change. She asked to see my receipt and kept it. Just gave me $5 back. Now I have no receipt to prove she scammed me. This is poor business. Bad people. I told her I would report her and she proceeded to call the police to defend her scam. I just walked out of the restaurant. Subway Store number #72.

Subway very unsatisfied, poor service

I was very unhappy with my sandwich from suubway. Unfortunately I opened it when I got home so was not away with any issues with the final product.

I ordered a veggie and had to fight to basically get any veggies on it. I asked for black olives and she put 5 on it, there were 4 thin strips of onion, and 3 tomatoe slices. They were out of cucumbers. I was about 2 inches in before I found any veggies on the sandwich, which I threw anyways because I asked for a little salt and pepper and she loaded it with just pepper!

I will definately not go back to the subway at the Holyoke Mall in Massachuetts!

Subway overpriced for what you get

Food is way overpriced and not even that good. I ordered a 6" sub with a coke and a bag of chips and they charged me $8.50... Ridiculous! I can eat a full coarse meal at a much nicer restraunt for that price. Fast food is a rip off!

THE SUBWAY RIPOFF - Funny how Subway advertised the $5 footlong sandwich which included ANY sub on the menu, but once allegations were made regarding the actual size of their footlongs measuring only 11 inches they modified their advertising to exclude this language, promised their subs would in fact measure 12 inches AND more importantly they increased the price of ALL their sandwiches! The bottom line here, the executives clearly knew making their sandwiches 1 inch short would save them an average of .40 cents per sandwich and when they were called on that fact is when they increased the sandwich to the 12 inches as promised but raised the price to ensure they didn't lose that .40 cents. In fact, they are actually making out better this way because they have given people that extra inch but is also charging them more than twice as much for it.

Another note here is the fact that Subway measures all the meats on their sandwiches. They claim this is to ensure sandwiches are made consistently but the reality is, based on reports from internal sources, they would become obsessed with the fact that they could save a penny here or a penny there by giving customers the absolute minimum - and that all adds up to money in their pocket and less food in your belly.

I absolutely LOVE the commercial from a competitor that shows their sandwich next to a subway sandwich where they use a vacuum cleaning to take off all the lettuce and other toppings, leaving just a few pieces of meat on the bun because it's absolutely true. After carefully analyzing the amount and type of meats they put on, you're actually paying for the bun and toppings -- because on average THEIR costs for the meat they put on each sandwich is about 35 cents ---- on a nearly $9 sandwich, so tell me that's not a rip off?

Subway pickles

I am an avid Subway customer and probably visit the chain 2 to 3 times a week, which is why I was frustrated when I had to fight with the employee over some extra pickles.

I went into the store and got my regular sub. I only get five of the numerous vegetables on my sub. I asked for lots of pickles and the girl proceeded to give me three. I asked for more and she gave me two more. She asked what else I would like on my sub and I asked for more pickles and sub sauce.

She proceeded to begin a two minute long rant about why she could not give me any more pickles. She actually refused to give me more pickles on my sub.

It was ridiculous, what is the world coming to that you can't get a couple mislay pickles on your sub. I will definitely NOT be visiting that subway again, I'll go to Mr. Sub.

I know this is an old post but LMAO. Is this for real? I mean seriously, a complaint because you couldn't get more pickles on your sub! First of all how many damn pickles do you need on your sub? disgusting. Secondly, the employee was merely doing her job. If she was advised by her manager/supervisor that she can only give a customer X amount of pickles, then you just need to accept that and move on. I get the impression that you like to complain about a lot of things that are minor or insignificant, and that you are completely self-absorbed. If you choose to go to Mr. Sub then that's your loss. Subway is much better than Mr. Sub. I just think its hilarious you choose to boycott a place because of pickles. Get a life.

Very rude manager at Brannon Crossing Subway in Nicholasville, KY. She kept insulting one of her employees last time I was in, calling her stupid. This lady is very rude and mean. I've seen many employees come and go because of her attitude. Please look into this lady. I knew who she was from her last job at a Shell in Lexington where she was let go while an investigation ensued about her stealing.

So why not write a letter to corporate headquarters? The one thing that is consistent on this site is people making it obvious that they are too stupid to handle issues with a company. Maybe posting here makes you feel better, but it does nothing to address the issue.

Subway mistreated

I was misteated when it was my turn to be served, the food was served terribly and the woman refused to serve me again, and the woman who served me refused to give me her name but I took track of the time and date, and here it is 06-24-10 9:25pm. When I returned so that she could serve me again better this time, she told me they were closed and refused to serve me.

Subway sandwich not made proper to eat

i went there so many times and even enjoyed my sandwich but once the owner changed the subway manager named Mr. Ajay...He is not a good manager as first, he dont know how to talk to the customer...he was very rude...insulted me...for telling him that he has not closed the sandwich properly and i was unable to eat the sandwich which he did not bothered to even close the sandwich, so i asked him to do so and he replied me...that he knows very well how to make the sandwich and i dont need to teach him...this was his reply and then he said if you want to make any complain he will give me the owner's number...he was a very bad guy with no sense how to talk to customers and instead he would make the business bad if der is a manger like him instead of doing goood or increasing the business...Worst Manager! I even recommend other people to avoid going to this subway ...

Subway not as healthy as you think

"at subway ® sandwich shops, we take pride in serving you a variety of products from manufacturers of the highest quality." this is the statement on the above website. but take a look at the ingredients. here are examples: 9-grain wheat bread has high fructose corn syrup in it. sourdough bread has high fructose corn syrup in it.in the cold cut combo, the turkey bologna has "mechanically separated turkey. whereas on most organic foods you will recognize most (if not all) of the ingredients, check out these that are in subway items:

Propylene glycol (egg-omelet-patty)

Sodium erythorbate (turkey-ham)

Sodium diacetate (black forest ham)

Sodium tripolyphosphate (seafood sensation)

Artificial color (cheddar cheese)

Yellow #5 (banana peppers)

Red #40 and blue #1 (red wine viniagrette)

Does this really sound healthy?

I love the way Subway brags about the low-fat chicken teriyaki. Sure it is low fat but it FULL of sugar(actually high fructose corn syrup) which is just as bad. When I worked at subway I didn't volunteer that information but when someone would ask me if the chicken teriyaki is healthy I would say no. And, no, I wasn't fired or even reprimanded for it.

Subway don't play employees for time worked.

My daughters first job was at the Trenton Subway. She was a very dedicated employee. She was not old enough to drive at the time so I would take her and pick her up . I would watch all of the teens punch out on the time clock at 9pm as they were told to and then they had to START cleaning the place up. They were required to work until 11 pm, under the supervision of the owner and managers. I asked my daughter about this but she told me not to question them because she was afraid and scared of the owner and what he might do. He has fired a few employees for questioning it. I did call the state of wisconsin workers rights dept. but without more than one or two complaints there is nothing they could do about it. All of the kids are to afraid to file a complaint. My daughter did quit there, and has found a much better job.
What kind of experience is this for our children to have when they are at their very first job.
Stay away from that subway, and maybe he will finally be put out of business.

Two of my daughters work at this Subway now. While they are now getting paid for the hours to clean up, they are consistently being paid late. Yesterday was payday, when the checks never showed up someone called him and he claimed that it wasn't payday week. Well, it IS payday week. Once he realized it was, or decided to stop playing dumb... he said the checks would be in by 10am Saturday. At noon, still no checks! At 12:15 someone called to say they were in. And this is a GOOD week. Some weeks they don't get paid until the next work week. I've just filed a complaint with the state labor board, and my daughter has contacted Subway corporate. I'm not going to give up or sit around and let this happen. Next stop, the local news stations!

I worked at Iron Mountain, Mi Mi subway and I have the same problems, they tell us to "hurry up" all the time, and we have to be out no later than 10:30 pm when we close up at 10 pm and 9pm on Sunday so that gives us a 1/2 hour to close the store ect.. If it was busy we don't get out of there on time and they ask us why it took so long to close when the production/sales wasn't busy. We have a list of stuff to do and extra cleaning list sometimes deck scrubbing, or the monthy cleaning ect.. I have talked to managers about not getting everything done on time they tell us to leave a note for opener ect..then the next time you work you get a wright up for not getting it done, I was even told by a manager that she works off the clock after 10:30 to get stuff done, I WILL NOT WORK OFF THE CLOCK FOR FREE!

I have worked there for a while .You clock out and finish or they cut your hours. The close list is Insanely long. The only times Ive gotten done on time I had zero costomers.Have you ever gone into a Subway after 9 and been treated coldly . Well your money to Subway means I might be there another 1/2 hour off the clock. Produtivity means if the shift before me hasnt sold enough Im working alone .Wether I sell 7 or 70 sandwichs Ihave to clock out by 10:30. Twice Ive been there till 3 am. To get a 40 hour check I actually work 60.If you say anything its your fault your not fast enough .I heard my boss talk to his GM about it .He said other stores get it done .No other stores are doing the same thing to there workers. Jobs are hard to come by right now and they know it not enought people are willing to risk their jobs to change anything.

The same thing is happening to my son at a Subway restaurant in Knoxville TN: He's been working there one week and has worked "closing" three times. Each time he's worked until 11:30 or midnight, but the manager has told him to clock out at 10:30. That can't be legal, and it has definitely tarnished the Subway brand in my view.

pfft I wouldn't give up after one phone call. You definitely need to file a written complaint with your state's labor board. Some day, another employee might get fed up and report them but find themselves in the same situation (not enough complaints to investigate).

I would also call Subway's corporate office as well and let them know what you are doing. Even though your daughter worked for an independent owner, they might be willing to intervene in order to prevent any negative backlash against their brand name's image that might come if legal action is taken.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The manager sells and uses cocaine. As an ex-employee i was promised a raise and never recieved one. i was also treated as a nuisance for asking why it wasn't recieved. I find it very unprofessional for a manager to snort amphetamines something must be done.
