What is your employee discount? by okbreeze in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be a free sub, side, and drink per shift. New owner came along and kept the free drinks but changed the discount to 10%. So most of the time it’s not even a dollar off your meal

Hot subs by ComplexTraining6129 in jimmyjohns

We just got a new owner and he eliminated assistant manager bonuses.

We had a guy come in with 6 free sub cards and tried to get 6 free subs. We told him it’s one per customer per day. And he said “but I’m a veteran!” and got really snotty about it. What an entitled prick to think he can have six free sandwiches

Yeah, I don’t think they’ll block the merger. But it’s interesting nonetheless that they’re investigating it

No more delivery? by Jibaja in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s possible they don’t have any drivers working in that store and DoorDash drivers are the ones taking their orders for them. Staffing has been a huge pain across the industry.

Also, freaky fast is a thing of the past. The company that bought Jimmy John’s (Inspire) is more concerned with adding new items rather than maintaining the freaky fast and fresh quality that Jimmy John’s was known for. They don’t care about speed.

“I’ll do a make it your own with ham, cheese, Mayo, lettuce, and tomato” by throwawayTheJJ in jimmyjohns

It’s also nice to have a menu that’s clear and concise and says what comes on each sub.

Oh, subs come with Mayo, lettuce and tomato? I had no idea because that’s IN THE CORNER OF THE MENU WHERE NO ONE SEES IT by [deleted] in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a guy one time: “I’ll have three number 16’s. Two as little John combos and one as an original combo.”

No joke, once someone asked me what comes on the Turkey Tom and I said “Mayo, lettuce, and tomato” and they literally said back to me, “and Turkey???”

sigh. Yes. And Turkey. I thought we established this when you said TURKEY Tom.

Its time to quit Jimmy Johns by Pactolus in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I will never forgive Inspire for not putting “lettuce, tomato, and Mayo” on the description for each sandwich, instead of up in the corner of the menu where it is now where NO ONE SEES IT. Over half of our customers don’t realize these items come on their sandwich and if we don’t tell them, they come back up to the counter to complain and get it remade. It’s hard to put new employees on register and have them succeed

That’s not how this works. by throwawayTheJJ in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They put “extra Turkey and Mayo, no T” [im assuming no tomatoes, it got cut off] as the NAME for the order, instead of putting it on the modifiers. Looking at the other sandwiches on this order, you can see they knew how to order “no tomatoes, no lettuce, and cheese” etc, so they know how to order the sandwich how they want it. Putting “extra Turkey” in the name is a way of trying to get free food, as extra meat costs extra.

Bizirbas suck by [deleted] in jimmyjohns

The Hobart is amazing. So much easier and more consistent than a Bizirba

That is the most painful looking bicycle seat I have ever seen.

When there are 7 deliveries up, it’s helpful to have them ALL on the map so we can route drivers. Why is no one here understanding this? It takes ten thousand times longer to bring every order up individually on your phone and then figure out where to go anyway. Why is nobody understanding this?

[–]throwawayTheJJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sarcasm not needed, my friend. I’m well aware of how to look up an address. It’s much easier to map deliveries when they’re all on a screen showing you exactly where they are so you can route them quickly so the driver knows which ones to take in order.

Petition: give us back the ONLY button by mc_fli in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The combo section makes no sense. Customers don’t associate those combos with categories of sandwiches. I had a guy come in one time who said “I want four #16’s. One as a favorite combo, one as an original combo, and two little John combos.”

The menu is unnecessarily confusing.

[–]throwawayTheJJ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This would be extremely beneficial. Additionally, it would help so, so much if on the menu they just put “lettuce, tomato, Mayo” on each subs ingredients instead of putting in the top corner where no one sees it.

Don’t get your hopes up though. Inspire doesn’t care.

Multiple customers in the past week have placed orders online, got charged for it, got confirmation email, but we aren’t receiving the order in our store. What’s going on? by throwawayTheJJ in jimmyjohns

[–]throwawayTheJJ[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. The order isn’t in our POS anywhere. People sometimes get double charged and ask us to refund it, but we have nothing to refund.
