Does subway exclusively hire retards to make their sandwiches?

Seriously the last dozen or so times I have been to subway the sandwich makers seem to make a total clusterfuck out of my sandwich. How fucking hard is it to cut a loaf of bread? This one guy I got a few times I swear he counts the number of lettuce shreds he puts on the sandwich and it takes 10 min to get my sandwich. Fucking insanity.

A fool is someone who does the same task repeatedly expecting different results.

Completely sympathize and know what youre talking about. It's crazy when your sammich makes it to the end of that assembly line and it looks like it needs to be eaten with a fork and they wrap it up like theres no problem. Makes me want to microwave my eyes

I say fuck change, I don't chase dimes
 
BollingerI can't complain about Subway in Canada, maybe I have lower standards for my crappy $5 sandwiches...

OOOOOOOH CAAAAANADAAAAAAA!

Get it!
 

Where do you live heister?

I get my sandwiches in NY/NJ in less than 5 mins, however if I go to a subway down south on my way to Florida, it could take anywhere from 10 mins to several days.

 

unless there is nothing else within walking distance/easy to get to, you should not be going to subway, their food sucks! they cut their bread really awkward, the meat is terrible, it just tastes horrible, go to a convenience store on a corner and get a sandwich, the majority actually use boars head and the price is about the same.

Maybe I'm just spoiled but I work up the street from a Subway that's actually competent. They keep the line moving, they have smiles on their faces and they never screw up my order. In fact, they're so competent that most of the time I leave a buck or two in their tip jar and I really don't do that many other places. It's a fast food joint that's actually worthy of a tip! Pretty amazing when you think about it

 

If you can do better go ahead and apply. Hell, they may even make you a manager.

Now, I'll give you that they shouldn't TOTALLY ruin your sandwich and be semi-competent at their job, but you have to realize that subway isn't rivaling BB Ibanks in their talent recruitment. There's a reason those people are making $7/hour.

There is making a sloppy sandwich and then there is cutting pretty much the entire back out of it so that it all falls onto the table when I try to eat it.

Only go to places with foreigners. They will make great food and good prices and serve you. Americans are lazy pieces of shit.

sad but true. a few exceptions in yankee states and the midwest.

 

See, they fail out of high school, do a shitty job and will only work when they get a good one. Basically the entire process backwards.

Fast food needs to automate or replace workers with foreigners.

Hahaha, the entire process backwards! That's so on point.

 

There's a Subway in my neighborhood here in Paris, and I don't know how they stay open. I can't imagine why anyone would go pay 6€ for a cold cut sandwich when the bakery on every corner of Paris sells sandwiches on baguettes stuffed with real rotisserie chicken for 3.70€.

To each his own, I guess.

That's ridiculous, I can see the appeal of Subway in America for broke people because of the $5 foot long, but 6€ is ridiculous for a shitty sandwich. Plus I end up not getting a deal at Subway because I like to customize things too much, to the point where a $5 foot long ends up being a $12 foot long. If you want my business, don't Jew me on cheese variations.

It is a derogatory way of saying cheap. The people at Subway were being cheap or "Jewish" in their allotment of cheese or other toppings.
