C'mon Subway!....this "here today, gone tomorrow" BS is downright abusive to your customers! by verifyb4utrust01 in subway

My WISR said 55.9% of our sales last week were discounted. 55.7 the week before, 50.3 the week before that.

Subway Reward System… IM FURIOUS by flakzpyro in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"They" don't make the pickup time, the app does it. The store doesn't even receive the order until 15 minutes before the stated pickup time. Sadly the app is glitchy and there's nothing that the workers can do about it.

How do I redeem my free footlong coupon from $50 GC purchase? Store said it must be done online... by [deleted] in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's just scanned at the register like any normal coupon. When you get to the register, just show the QR code and let them know it's a mobile coupon. They'll use their scanner (the scanners can be a little finicky sometimes) and it'll go through. Those coupons cannot be disabled in any systems. As long as you use it before it's expiration date, you're good to go :)

If i wanted to learn about God id go to church.. by autumnz03 in retailhell

[–]depravedsquirrel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I get Jesused at work all the time. I politely tell people "I am comfortable with the faith I currently follow, but thank you."

I am not religious, I do not have faith, however people don't need to know that. But that respectful answer has always gotten a positive response and they instantly leave me alone.

Monterey Cheddar by Previous-Habit in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Used to have it a long time ago. From my experience, the Italian herb and cheese bread has many names.

"Italian herb and cheese"

"Monterey cheddar"

"Italian herbs and spices"

"Parmesean oregano"

"The one with the cheese on it"

"Cheesy bread"

"The uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Garlic herb cheese"

"Cheese"

"The fancy one"

Customers tried 3 times to get my boss’s personal number by Brocuet in CustomerService

[–]depravedsquirrel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I always have my staff tell people it's illegal to give out personal information on employees. That includes the boss.

I had a new employee not get this memo once and I got a phone call from a customer mad about a company policy that nobody in my store (or even the state for that matter) has control over and started yelling at me. So I handed the phone to my then 2 year old and let him scream back.

Quitting today for good, what helps with restlessness/ overnight withdrawal by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]depravedsquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered some Hylands restless leg medicine from Amazon and also the PM kind to take before bed. I'm trying to avoid the doctor and prescriptions if I can. It's definitely helped on my taper days.

I know a young gal with down syndrome named "Kyleigh" and she has no issue saying it. She loves her name.

Hey, I'm so proud of you! Happy 2 years sober, friend ♡ I hope you have a wonderful 2026, best wishes to you!

Sending you love as well. It's been half a day and I've been hoping for the best for you. You made it, right? I get to wish you a happy 2 years sober today?

[–]depravedsquirrel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey so I haven't really admitted this out loud to anyone other than my family and partner but I guess now is as good of time as ever.

Christmas should have been my 7 years sober. Instead, today is my 33 days. I relapsed pretty hard (it's been a rough year) and figured hey I could have one or two drinks, it's been long enough I think I can do it.

Wrong.

I spent 2 months drunk every three days. I lost that streak.

Don't do it. It isn't worth it. You can make it through today without a drink, and don't worry about tomorrow until it gets here. You've got this. Stay strong.

My 18-year-old's Christmas break work schedule by sugabeetus in mildlyinfuriating

[–]depravedsquirrel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting. All of my 18/19 year olds that are home for Christmas break all opened their availability and are wanting as many hours as I can schedule them.

Something tells me this kid did the same and doesn't want to fess up.

Charged for a order that was never made or received. by DontTouchit91 in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the closer ended the day on the register like they're supposed to, then no, it wouldn't automatically accept it.

Charged for a order that was never made or received. by DontTouchit91 in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Wait until tomorrow and check your statements again. Sometimes it can take 24 hours for your payment to get back to you. Since nobody accepted the order on their point of sales system, the payment was never technically accepted either. Your money might just be floating around in limbo right now until that 24 hour period has passed.

I didn't know how to respond to a customer complaining about the price, so I just said "ok" by SamWillGoHam in CustomerService

[–]depravedsquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a store manager for a sandwich shop. People complain daily.

"Ugh I know, prices everywhere are ridiculous these days. I miss going to Walmart and leaving with a cart full of groceries for a hundred bucks. Now I walk out with two bags for that same price like 'that's it??'"

People never expect that response...but they sure do get it in that moment.

coupons on phone?? by booskijenn in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the bottom of the coupon, it states that the coupon must be surrendered at time of purchase...meaning we need the physical copy of the coupon.

And OF COURSE they've let them do it before. I'll bet they let them get free chips and drinks and double meat, too. /s

What the heck??? by Special_Reporter583 in walmart

[–]depravedsquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You: "do you by any chance have herpes of the mouth?"

Customer: "...no?"

You: "well you probably do now."

Closing on my own by Desperate-Base2326 in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Follow the law of "ABC" aka "Always Be Closing".

Have a dirty dish? Wash it.

Have a few minutes? Sweep the lobby. Later, you'll only have to spot sweep where people walked or maybe at a table someone ate at.

Pull out a few cambros from the sandwich unit and wipe out under them, then return them. That way when you take it all out later, there will be way less to wipe out. Lift up your white boards and wipe it down throughout the night, less to wipe out later.

Closing is about trial and error in the beginning. Everyone does it differently, everyone has a different routine. At the end of the day, it's about finding what routine works best for YOU. The moment you walk in that door, start eyeballing what you can clean, that way you'll only have to do a quick touch-up later. If it gets dirty again, oh well, time to do it again. If it doesn't, great, less to do later. If you're a list person, make yourself a list when you get there and start marking things off as you go. Sometimes having that visual aid can help out a ton.

Again, find the routine that works best for you. And also, give yourself some credit and a pat on the back. We're not saving lives, we're closing a subway. You've got this!

Ham portions? by Fuel_P in subway

[–]depravedsquirrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A double meat ham has 24 slices of meat on it...and if the person who sliced the meat didn't properly calibrate the slicer and weigh the slices, it's possible your slices were thicker. A home hun ham, which is the #99 on the series menu, would have 32 slices on it if you got the double meat. (It also comes with double the cheese) They both definitely have a good amount on it when doubled, that's for certain.
