You work in the fast-food industry.... you don't need to be a rocket scientist

[Doppelgänger]

Let me present a situation and you pretend you are behing the counter of a SubWay.

You take my order, a 12" chicken brest on honey wheat and a 6" chicken teriyaki on wheat. You make the sandwiches and get ready to ring it up. But before you do I had you one coupon for "Free 6" sub with purchase of medium drink and chips" and one "buy one 6" sub and get another free".

What do you do?

In my case lastnight, the girl stands there like I just stuck a gun to her face. She couldn't comprehend what to do. First thing she said was "you cannot use both coupons". Ok, so now I'll make you do more work by making two seperate purchases....how's that for you? Really? You would rather have me stand here and hold up the line to make two transactions rather than just using both coupons at once? OK, whatever. So now she goes and calls the manager to ask what to do. Oh Jesus [facepalm]. So she takes another 5 minutes to figure out how to ring up a coupon for "get a sub with drink and chips". There are like 4 people in line by this point and only 2 people running the place at 7pm in the evening...one of them is stuck pushing buttons at a register. Not smart planning.

So anyway. She eventually figures it out. Now for the fun part. She rings up the 12" sub as a 12" sub. I present my other coupon for "buy one 6" get one 6" free" and she refuses to take it saying that I ordered a 12" sub. DUH... 6" + 6" = 12"!!!!!! O M F G {more facepalming}. So I tell her to unwrap the sandwich, cut it in hald and wrap each 6"...and bingo! you'll have two 6" subs to use with the coupon. Nope.. she couldn't grasp that concept either....to her, I still ordered a 12" sub and can't use the coupon. By this point I'm not kidding when I say I've been stand at the register for 8-10 minutes. So I ask her "well how do I use this coupon?" and she simply cannot answer me....and calls the manager...again...comes back and says "I'll do it this time, but we normall don't do this". DONT DO WHAT?!!?!?! USE COUPONS?!?! My God girl, given how lost you are, if I had ordered two 6" chicken breast subs with the same toppings you would have probably thought I was a retard for ordering it like that... was it not any easier to order a damn 12" sub??!?!?!?!?!?!? So she rings me up, the customers are looking at their prepared food sitting on the counter and the total comes to $4.55. So I start thinking "well, a 6" chicken breast is $3.75...how is there $.75 tax on $3.75?" So I get the receipt and see she charged me $4.25. Oh great... here we go. So I tell her sternly "a 6" chicken breast is $3.75...not $4.25" and she says "you got a chicken teryiaki". Holy shit... in the 10minutes we've been going over this you forgot what I ordered, assumed another thing and just charged me rather than asking? So she starts to say something but by this point I don't care to deal with it anymore and just tell them "to forget about it and leave me alone" and go sit down and eat. Of course this takes so long that now my sandwich is no longer hot.

Idiots.

No, I got what I ordered, paid MORE for it and got shitty service and a cold sandwich that was supposed to be hot.

Well as my stepdad used to tell me "Do your homework or you'll end up working at a fast food joint!" Someone obviously didn't do their homework.

[On_Her_Face]

Do you want fries with that?

[AdriSciontC]

I want a sub now....

[Doppelgänger]

Do you want fries with that?

I'm surprised she didn't ask that that.....

[keevo54]

So why wouldnt you just order two 6 inch sandwhichs like the coupon calls for. Congragulations on making it complicated and being an asshole. Btw almost every coupon says one coupon per patron cannot be combined with any other offer. But I guess ur cheap ass can't read?

[87 Turbo II]

Are you Jewish? Who fights over $3.75 vs. $4.25? Jesus, it's just $.75. Also, yeah, you ordered it logically as 2 6 inch subs, but the coupon SAYS 2 6 inch subs, not a 12 inch sub. You should have asked before you got to the counter if you can do that. Yeah your situation should have been resolved better, but you did make it a little difficult by not follwoing the coupon literally. And if she said you can't use both, then the coupon probably reads "cannot be combined with other coupons" in fine print on the bottom. In which case you don't just "do two transactions" they can refuse to use the 2nd one at all that day because they know you're still the same customer, under limit 1 per customer. You really did make it more difficult by being cheap as hell trying to get $12 of food for $6 with a combination of coupons that aren't meant to be used together, and by just going against the grain and ringing it up weird. Sometimes a 12 inch sub uses more meat per inch, or different proportioning, it might not exactly be two 6 inch subs, and it probably costs a little less than two 6 inch subs at dollar per ounce too. Next time read the coupon and take it as literally as you can, I work at Chick-fil-a and it is annoying as hell when people come in and they're like "this is for a salad but I want a milkshake". Yeah, I have to take it, but damn, you're already getting free shit, why the fuck do you have to be so picky? Ugh, us fast fooders aren't any worse than the average customer, you'd be surprised some of the shit you try and do to us and how dumb YOU can sound, it goes both ways.

My favorite "the other Chick-fil-A let me substitute my kids meal fries for coleslaw, why won't you?" Well, they're independently owned, and a coleslaw can be substituted for a medium fry at no additional charge in any adult meal, so why the fuck would it be just as equal as a swap for a small fry in a kids meal? If the other Chick-fil-A lets you do it, go there, I already told you we don't, am I supposed to be like "Oh, oh my THEY let you? I'm sorry, I have to honor their store rules then and do it too." No you're fucking retarded, if I say no, don't argue, I am doing my job and I guarantee you I know how the menu and rules of my store work better than you do.

lol he said $.75 above, I just rewrote it without thinking.

"well, a 6" chicken breast is $3.75...how is there $.75 tax on $3.75?" So I get the receipt and see she charged me $4.25.

I reread the sentence he used it in and realized he was right, it just threw me off. I concentrated more on my rant than doing 4th grade math.

[AirMax95]

The plot thickens....

[oneSLOWex]

LOL I bet the coupons dont allow you to use more than one at a time. All that over .75 cents. Im not sure who looked more retarded.

[man]

I would have only let you use one coupon. Was this a thread about education of fast-food workers or customers who need hooked on phonics? Pretty sure all subway coupons say one per customer per visit...

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

You're the retard in this case.

Most coupons limit one per customer and I bet that's why she told you, you can't use both at the same time.

Also the coupon was for a 6 inch sub, not a foot long. Even though you are great at comprehending 6 + 6 = 12 = 1 foot, you still are the retard that can't comprehend, buy ONE 6 inch sub, get a SECOND 6 inch sub, free.

[Ran]

1. 12" Sub /= 2x 6" Subs. Order two seperate six inch subs and use said coupon. This prevents you from looking like an @sshat after your 12" sub has been rung up as such.

2. "Coupon not valid with any other offers" means that you can't use it on the same purchase with another coupon. Confirm BEFOREHAND that you want to make two seperate purchases to ensure that things go smoothly instead of f*cking everything up at the end.

Sorry bro, but it really seems like you made the transaction more complicated than it needed to be. Next time read the coupons, follow them LITERALLY (don't expect them to figure out your little plan), and help things go smoothly.

[aguynamedpat]

Wow, big man. You were rude and talked down to someone because you are retarded. I now envy you.

If I were her, next time I saw you coming, you'd get a nice green loogie topped with fresh vagina hairs mixed in with your sandwich.

Thanks for the laughs guys. Rather than throwing insults, let me point out that I never asked for the difference back. It's the concept that she could have asked what kinda of sandwich it was before just assuming. In all the times that I have used coupons at SubWay, no one has ever given a flyingfuck if I had more than one coupon or if I ordered a 12" sub on a buy one get one free deal.

Let me ask you this, if I go in and say 'I would like to order 2 6" subs on wheat'..you know what they're going to do? They are going to pull out a 12" piece of wheat and cut it in half. You know what is going to happen if I order a 12" sub? That's right, they cut it in half. Thin about that one?

BTW coupon did not say 'one per visit' or 'cannot be combined', it did say 'one percustomer' and I solved that by having my GF buy the 6" sub/chips/drink and I purchased the 12"....or wait... two 6" subs

Was it really worth what little you saved to go through all that?

[Doppelgänger]

Oh and guess what... I just went to lunch and grabbe another buy one get one 6" coupon and ordered a 12" and handed over the coupon and the guy behind the counter just rang it up with no problem.... like what has happened dozens of times that I've used such coupons

[Doppelgänger]

Was it really worth what little you saved to go through all that?

if i had known that it would turn into a big ordeal...no. but in the countless times that i have ordered a 12" and used that coupon , not once has anyone been confused nor have i been questioned.


i've worked in FF, i know what its like..nor did i ever give a shit if someone used multiple coupons.


btw, i love how everyone is assuming that said coupons said "one per customer, per visit, cannont be combined" when in fact they only said "one per customer".

[Ran]

Gotta keep your eye out for that one person that actually does what's instructed.

Let me ask you this, if I go in and say 'I would like to order 2 6" subs on wheat'..you know what they're going to do? They are going to pull out a 12" piece of wheat and cut it in half. You know what is going to happen if I order a 12" sub? That's right, they cut it in half. Thin about that one?

The point is the literal order. If you just clarify beforehand, it'll probably be taken care of as requested. To just assume as such was a fault of yours.

BTW coupon did not say 'one per visit' or 'cannot be combined', it did say 'one percustomer' and I solved that by having my GF buy the 6" sub/chips/drink and I purchased the 12"....or wait... two 6" subs

"One Per Customer" sums it up pretty well. Having your girlfriend ring up the other one was a good way of getting around the technicality.

Basically, if you have coupons and intend to try and work the system to your benefit, just tell them before hand. I'm not gonna flame you on the deal, but I think you kinda brought this one upon yourself despite the clerks inability to remember what you ordered. lol

Well, let me ask you Nate...if you went to the fruit stand and bananas were "buy one get one free" and you saw two perfect bananas that were still attached...would you put each one in a seperate bag or are you going to toss them in one bag before heading to the cashier?

When cigs are buy one get one free at the gas station, do they hand you two individual packs or do they hand you two packs that have been bound together creating one neat little package?

Did you get vinegar? I like it when they add a bit of it to my sammiches.

You're missing the point man. Subway has two different ways to order a sandwich. 6" and 12". If you order a 12", don't automatically expect the person there to automatically split it up for your coupon. A person with a bit of reasoning may do so, but if you simply let them know before they start your order, anyone will be able to piece things together for you.

"Hi, I'd like to get a 12" sub but can I get that totalled up as two 6" subs so that I can use my coupon?"

It's that simple.

I do when I get a veggie..which isn't very much. Remember when they first started the $5 footlongs and the sweet onion chicken teryiaki was only $5? That was the best deal....and they they jacked the price up to $6.xx o nit. So now I order the chicken breast, which is a larger piece of chicken rather than the diced chicken and when they put toppings on it I request the sween onion sauce... and it comes out almost exactly like the SOCT.

This is true, but when it's never been an issue in year before..such thought process isn't deemed as needed and thus a routeine develops.


I should have just grabbed a plastic knife, cut the sandwich in half myself and said "here. There are my two 6" subs and here is my coupong for buy one 6" get one 6" for free".
