Or I guess anyone can bitch about the food/service and generally ask me anything.

All muffins come with cheese, plus muffins get round eggs (real eggs) instead of folded. That's probably why.

I have no problem with fast food threads (they are better than chicken breast and ramen threads at least). But a thread about working at a minimum wage job with 12 year old's and ex-crack addicts (yeah, the job market really isn't that bad), has basically nothing to do with food, as far as I can see, and is therefore off topic and should be deleted.

Try Subway you pussies. You get the pickiest goddamn lot of customers and you have to prepare everything in the most time-consuming way possible (one at a fucking time). Now try doing it on a busy interstate exit when there are only ever a maximum of 3 people on the clock. When it gets busy there, everything fucking stops. Nothing gets prepped or stocked or cleaned or baked until that line is gone and sometimes you'll be on that line for hours, but you can't just be on the line because there's always someone out in the lobby complaining that we're out of lids or tea or the bathroom needs to be cleaned or their goddamn shit-faced child has spilled a fucking 41 oz. cup of strawberry Fanta all over the floor. And you guys hate it when people make special requests? Well here, everything is fucking special request and we have to give them whatever stupid shit they want. They want the entire fucking bottle of sweet onion sauce on their sammich? You gotta fucking do it. They want you to put mayonnaise on the bread and spread it with a knife like you're their goddamn mommy when there's a line to the door? Yes, sir! And almost every other person will try to dispute the price of their food. I hand them the receipt and they sit there like a chimp staring back and forth between it and the menu, mouth agape like they can't believe Subway is fucking expensive. Yes that sub is $5, the meal is $2.50 added, THAT'S $8.03 AFTER TAX BITCH NOW PAY UP OR MOVE YOUR STUPID ASS THERE ARE 15 GODDAMN PEOPLE BEHIND YOU.

they're right, we're arguing over the wrong shit. our coworkers are idiots, but it's the customers that are the real issue. if I had a nickel for every inbred Mexican that was short money and could barely speak English, is be rich.

Well, not really.

I went to subway once and it was pretty busy. The lady behind me kept complaining that people were taking too long because they wanted vegetables on their sandwich.
"oh look, he gettin all that on his sandwich,uh uh uh uh...She getting ALL OF THAT!? Oh, uh uh...I know he ain't getting all that" I get the sandwich dressed the same way every time; swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper, olives, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. The lady behind me was completely incredulous, "oooooh she gettin' a WHOLE garden salad on her sandwich". I was so sick of her fucking mouth that I forwent the toasting, I wanted to say something but my husband shot me a death stare and I deferred to his wishes. I don't think that what I ordered was overly taxing on the subway staff, and I have no idea why that woman was so pissed off. The line was moving fast.
