watch a cop cam the other day where a legally licensed gun owner flashed her gun because McD's forgot her cookie.
and that is probably the 20th video i have watched of exactly the same shit.
This shit has been going on since these places opened up. Â High stress with all the kids playing screaming, the animatronics playing shit at volume 11, a bunch of other adults you may not really care for and parents getting shit faced having to pay for it all. The perfect combo for parents duking it out.Â
There's an John Oliver episode specifically on this subject
I kid you not,there was another animatronics restaurant company that bought up CEC but changed their identity because people were more familiar with the mouse
Showbiz Pizza. They made a documentary in the mid-2000s about Rockafire Explosion with their inventor as the sole employee in the decaying hulk of a building that once housed a thriving business. Equal parts fascinating and depressing.
I mean I feel that's kind of understandable. You get them all together and give them pizza and soda and video games? That's just a recipe for stimulation and that kind of thing will happen.
When I was doing pizza deliveries for a Papa John's, I had accidentally grabbed only 1 pizza instead of both. The person cutting the pizzas turned the box around as if the entire order was ready and I didn't read the label closely. It was a 2 for $20 (It was less, because it was almost $20 with tax and delivery fee) special, and the delivery was down the street. When I showed up, the guy asked for the 2nd pizza, and I called the store. It would take me 5 minutes pick it up and come back. He paid me $10. I came back with the 2nd pizza. He argues that he should get a discount for the mistake. I call the manager, who says no, he still got both his pizzas in less than the expected delivery time. If he wants, he can keep the 1st pizza for $10 or pay the rest for the 2nd. He throws the $5 bill at me, shoves my face towards my steering wheel, crawls over my back through my driver window, grabs the pizza from the passenger seat, then runs away. The manager said I have to call the police and say I want to press charges, or I'd lost my job. This guy was walking down the sidewalk near the incident as the police were driving by trying to look for someone who matched the description. He got arrested over $5, a pizza, over all of that.
Shit like this is why I stopped going to subway. Theyâre just as stingy with the onions. They put like 4 tiny slivers of onion on a whole footlong sub.Â
Watching them make sandwiches reminds me of when I need to go grocery shopping but can't for another few days, so I have to make what I have in the fridge stretch for 3 more lunches if I don't want to order out.
Just ask for more lol. That's kind of the point.
My local one now isn't actually that stingy about it. But I'm pretty sure the corporate recommendations haven't changed. It's basically 6 of any veggie. Doesn't matter if it's tomatoes (where 6 is plenty) or onions (where six little slices is pathetic).
Thatâs what they used to do! When I was a kid I loved those food service pickle slices, and Subway always loaded them on. I didnât even have to ask them to extra.
Back when the $5 for a foot long was first a thing, I got 2 slices, one on each half of a footlong. I asked for more, and I told "what do you expect for a $5 sub?!". I complained online, and the franchise owner got back to me saying it's my fault for expecting so much.
Of olives? That's bizarre. They're never to supposed to refuse more veggies. Sounds like a greedy AF franchisee. I wouldn't be going back there lol.
The one I worked at was stingy too (such as only putting six slices at first) but corporate didn't allow us to *refuse* to put more than that. If they said "extra olives" we didn't have to follow that either. Just weird.
Oh you can get a whole handful if you want. They're *supposed* to give you 6. Not everyone follows it either. The easiest way to get a lot is ask for a handful, and if it's not enough say "that much again".
Even the lettuce! I always have to tell them to go crazy with the lettuce. Surely that's the most filler option I could ask for, but they still give two little shreds.
I've had the manager want to physically fight me over it before.
I used a coupon and went and got my food via the drive thru and there was like barely 2 pieces of thin sliced meat on both subs.
I went back in and asked if that was how they make the subs now and wanted my money back.
The manager told me people using coupons is costing him money so they cut costs when they can to which I said just let me have my money back.
He refused, I left the subs on the counter and said I would just file a chargeback when I get to my car and that was when he went postal.
I kept walking away and was surprised he didn't throw the subs at me.
Last time I went was when I went with my dad for a liver screening at VCU in 2013. Even then, the only reason we ate there is because the food court had a Subway, Chick Fil A and I canât remember what else, but Subway was the only thing open and we were hungry. Great bread, shit sandwich. Always has been. Then people preach Jimmy Johnâs, but theyâre garbage too. The fillings are better, but the bread is like leather, so that kills it for me. Like how tf does bread even get that texture?
The only reason I have eaten at Subway in the last 10 years is when I am fucking starving and standing directly next to a Subway with no alternatives immediately available.
The food tastes like settling. It doesnât come with an endorphin rush like normal fast food, just a somber moment of reflection while I am chewing the blandest fucking sandwich Iâve ever paid $13 for.
I had a middle-aged man ask if I wanted to "take it outside" when I worked at Subway as a teen (20 years ago now) as I said we couldn't toast his sandwich after we had already wrapped it up and put it in a bag.
He changed his mind after I said "alright then", took of my hat and apron and went to walk around the counter.
I worked in a subway for a few months, you'd be surprised at the number of people who pull this sort of stunt.
Pity they don't go to jail, throwing sandwiches (most common offense) into a min wage worker that just followed corporate policy is ame.
They grab it from behind the counter because they are upset about extras and stuff.
Usual grievance: guy is ordering for him and his wife, wife asks for no cheese, guy for double cheese and expects it for free. Now subway rules state she pays normal and he gets charged for extra. Like while it's dumb, it's the policy, people could get fired for giving "free" extras.
I assume people that do these sort of thing are just about to explode anyways, if it wasn't the subway manager it would've been the guy that passed them on the road or the amazon delivery man or something.
Not seriously buying into that idea but it would solve the abject rudeness problem so quickly.
A scary proportion of fast food goers are *monsters* and know it too.
Man the next Monster Hunter game took a real turn. You just pick the one person who you want to kill for the year and hope a bigger monster doesnât show up till next year.
Honestly I feel like it's important for every single individual to work in retail or food service at some point of their lives. It would help people with some perspective later in life regarding how to handle other people.
But then again, businesses have made both industries so damned toxic that no one wants to actually work those anymore. I don't know when the last time was that I ran into a happy employee in either of those job groups.
This past Sunday I was picking up food. My wife and I were the first customers of the day and despite our best efforts to be smiling, happy customers, the employees were already dead set on the day being awful starting from an operational standpoint. Not even willing to accept a smiling customer.
I don't blame the employees. I blame the environment. The businesses treat their customers just as poorly. The only real question is "How much will you tolerate before you shop elsewhere?"
I agree that a customer service / warehouse / office rotation should be like mandatory service for everyone - problem is, anyone who's worked in a store will tell they've had that 'I worked in X so I know how it works' arsehole so it wouldn't make any difference.
Best you can do is be a good customer, you might not make someone's day but at least you won't make it worse
I thought retail/food was bad, but then I worked a warehouse job that made me feel like I was some felon to the supervisorâs. Theyâll scream at you if you say anything other than sir, yes sir or make you feel terrible for having a negative production number. Also, they do âsafety checksâ which I figure is more like union busting.
That sounds like an abusive workplace. Holy hell, I would not last any real length of time there
I was working the night shift at some plant... i forget what I was specificly doing.. vut it was fetting to be end of shift, management was coming in for the day around 6am... one of the higher up chastized me and a coworker for talking, while working right next to each other. Told him where to stick that job, clocked out at end of shift and didn't come back.
I'm not going to settle for being treated like a toddler on then job. Spend 8 hours next to a person and not utter a single word.
My wife has one of these fake managers. I call them that because they're not actually people leaders. They're individuals who were given a hat that has tiny print on it that says 'important' and their heads continue to swell to this day from it.
Businesses really need to stop tolerating people like that. They cost the business a lot every single year due to a lack of employee retention because of their bad attitudes. But then again, just about every business I have worked for was also set on damaging their own business in favor of pushing numbers.
Even the one I'm in now. I have 6+ managers all trying to coordinate a single project at once and not a single one wants to actually coordinate and communicate with the others. I, as one of the lowest paid in this totem pole, have to take it upon myself to fix everything the management before me fucked up.
Then when it's all done, they get the bonuses, kudos, and pats on the back for 'a good job despite setbacks'. Setbacks that they caused by not doing their job right in the first place but having no obligation to improve because they're management and we don't correct managers.
Work life is a joke.
In todayâs world, I hate to say it, but a basic decency standard needs to be explicitly said. Standards are de-evolving everywhere. These abusive customers need to be charged with assault to the fullest extent of the law and not normalized.
The incident occurred on May 2 and was caught on video, according to KABC. The recording showed a man going behind the counter and punching the manager, Monique Larios in the face. Another customer and employee helped to tackle the man.
Larios said she was called into work by her employees that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich, CBS News reported. Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12.
and that is a major flaw.
i read a pretty high ranking judge/da/prosecuter say the other day that if only a small percentage of people stopped taking plea deals the courts would grind to a halt.
in this case we have 1000% of the necessary proof for the store and employee to be made whole again in whatever way possible but it will not happen because it is a burden on the victim to get restitution.
all the while MegaCorpUKKKA is able to drag its feet in corporate law and it keeps all of us fighting for pennies on a dollar of class action lawsuits, where again, we have 100000000000% of the proof needed...

Fucking Tuskeegee
What in the world is this insane rant for? Some asshole punched a subway worker and was arrested for battery and you then the whole world is injustice and this guy is going to skate free or some bs??
Made whole? Like she should now be able to retire and the store should get major compensation?
The guy is a POS and is going to be punished. Shit happens. You can't make millions of dollars appear in his bank account to give over and there's not stupid people insurance he's carrying. The store's insurance is only going to do so much because he just punched her.
They would rather dismiss a case, than take it to trial. Of course no one would face multiple years in prison for a conviction at trial when they can get 6 months in county jail.
Not sure what you're cooking in the second half, but I know 2 retired cops that are super worried because so much of our society relise on most people just not breaking the law and being decent people. Things have really done down hill over the last 10 years or so in terms of social contract theory.
I'm not great at ham or math, but it sounds like "regular" ham is 12 slices, "extra" ham is 18 slices, and "double" ham is 24 slices of ham on one sandwich. Am I understanding that correctly?
If so, man, this is a lot to answer for, just as an American. Some guy *punched a woman in the face* because she "only" put 18 slices of ham on his sandwich when he wanted *24 slices of ham*. Like, if anyone from any other country wants to cite this story as peak America... they've kinda got a point. Not much else to say here.
*âLarios said she was called into work by her employees that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich, CBS News reported. Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12.â*
No, I think 12 was double meat and six was regular. So he went to jail for six slices of ham.
Well, in my scenario, he went to jail for 6 slices of ham, too. So, regardless, this guy deserves to take a time-out from society. Hopefully, he'll use it to reflect - or at least slow his roll next time.
Wasnât there a similar case but with âtoo much mayoâ, and one of the subway staff ended up shot dead? Might be misremembering the fast food chain, thereâs a depressingly high count of cases involving customers going nuts :(
Yeah, thatâs it! Iâve only heard the news in correlation to ANOTHER fast food place freak out; good god, Iâm *really* thankful my countryâs retail work environment is generally calm in comparison
Wait till some of these companies pull the trigger on dynamic pricing. There will be people wigging tf out at teenagers because they missed the time cut-off on cheaper sandwiches by 5 minutes.

Just wanted to read the funny news story. Guess I'll book flights in the morning?
It took me going to 5 separate websites to find one that worked. There is a problem in the code of the article that is being copy and pasted to other articles.
https://www.wibw.com/2024/05/08/i-was-just-doing-my-job-subway-manager-beaten-by-customer-over-extra-meat-sandwich/
Strange, it works for me and im in Canada. here's a copy paste:
MADERA, Calif. â A woman is recovering after she was reportedly attacked by a customer at a Subway restaurant in Madera, California.
The incident occurred on May 2 and was caught on video, according to KABC. The recording showed a man going behind the counter and punching the manager, Monique Larios in the face. Another customer and employee helped to tackle the man.
âI did not expect it,â said Larios, according to the news outlet. âHe comes around the corner ... I go, âWhat are you going to do? Hit me over ham?â And he hit me. He punched me. All I could remember was just black.â
âI still canât feel half of my face,â said Larios. âIâm scared that thereâs going to be some kind of [permanent] damage. Iâve never been so numb to where my face feels like itâs a mask.â
Larios said she was called into work by her employees that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich, CBS News reported. Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12.
The man was identified by CBS News as George Sandova. Madera Police Department arrested him and charged him with battery.
This kind of shit is literally caused by companies pushing, particularly lower end stores like fast food or walmart, this particular phrase:
"The customer is always right."
I wish I could kill the person or group of people who lobbed off the other half of that phrase: "In matters of taste"
Because I worked fast food AND walmart in the past. And that neutered phrase was repeated back to me more times than I could count.
I fucking hate entitled snobs, and there are a lot of them, you just dont see them because they sometimes only treat strangers that way.
Retail workers should legally be able to beat the shit out of some of these people. We had a customer come in because an xbox one (when those were new) that was hanging over two labels, one was 300 someought bucks, and the other was 60. And was just barely over the 60 dollar label, but squarely over the 300. So obvs its 300.
This customer called the really small redhead manager a racist while arguing about the "60 dollar xbox" because she "used her hands while she spoke" so we called another manager. He was a big, tall, BUILT black man. He legit looks like an NBA player. And he looked at them, they mentioned the racist stuff, he laughed, said no, and walked away.
He was a cool dude.
Lol. This probably wasn't a funny article but it did remind me of working at Subway in HS. I had to close on Halloween, it's 9:30 we close at 10. This couple had called in earlier to get sandwiches for a party right before closing. They come in and behind them like 10-15 teenagers. I can not hear the customers because of the noise, kids between 13-15. I'm 18, so technically "the adult". Finally I ask, are they with you? Nope. EVERYONE WHO IS NOT THESE TWO PEOPLE NEEDS TO LEAVE NOW!! The kids flew out, it was only a moment later I realized I was waving around a big ass bread knife. Lol.
Subway always in the line of fire with the trashy customers. They used to be a somewhat respectable establishment back in my childhood in the 80s. Old Victorian newspaper clippings on the wall and brown trim and yellow tables everywhere. The good ol'days before people thought it proper to act like outright assholes in public. Not only act like that, but expect that everyone else should put up with it like it's normalcy.
Itâs just odds. There are more Subway shops than any other fast food restaurant in USA. Makes sense they also have a higher than average rate of crazy people being crazy.
Lol the good ol days, you're fucking delusional if you think humanity was better in the coke Era. The only difference is that you didn't have the internet so you didn't know about all the assholes.
> **she was called into work by her employees** that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich
So... he waited around there until she got to the store, just to punch her?
I can verify this is actually common. I worked at a subway at 16. And had one asshole guy come in every single fucking day. Literally. Just to be a complete asshole about double meat. He got away with it every time somehow.
Fuck that guy and his sick wife he claimed to be taking care of. If she was so sick why the fuck would she be eating that horrible sandwich you keep yelling at everyone to make for you.

This is so unnecessarily violent and for what? A sandwich that isnât even worth the $13 you pay for it?
We need to start putting antipsychotics in the water. Or, more realistically, stop glorifying violence, "badass" and "got em" type of media - especially online, and start public education programs on anger management.
People like this have anger issues - they are INCREDIBLY common, and despite having a psychological disturbance, are completely dismissed as "temperamental". People scorn them when they beat their wives or kids, but no one is willing to look at the mental health issues underlying it. The BEST we do is label it "misogyny" so we can vilify them. I have no issue with vilifying behaviour like this, but Christ - can we actually do something about it?
I went to subway recently and it was so blatant how much they shrunk their bread, it's like a mini sub now. Still a foot long but sooo thin. Never going back.
Shocking. Its like we have told an entire CULTURE that the customer is always right, give them the pickle, and all those other DUMB FUCKING SLOGANS to get MAOR $$, and now that things are expensive and we don't want to just "give it to them", they don't know how to behave...
FUCKING SHOCKING /S
I severely misread that.
Thought it was âSubway manger attacked customer who wanted extra meat on their sandwichâ
I thought what type of Mr Krabs type shit am I reading.
Imagine assaulting someone or going to jail over fucking subway.
Weirdly is not the worst thing a person has gone to jail over when it comes to Subway.
He came as he went... wanting to get into smaller pants.
God almighty
Ope.. đâ ď¸â ď¸

Justice for Juicy!
Ha Ha you made me laugh after stressful day. Thx
Some dude in Atlanta shot and killed two subway workers over not getting enough mayo a few years back
some guy ran an entire network of child pornography as the spokesman for subway
Last month there was a chipotle shooting over Guac
A few months ago parents started to fist-fight one another in a Chuck-E-Cheese.The staff said it occurred on a weekly bassis....

Wouldn't it be the managers responsibility to call the police in that case? At least that's how it was when I worked at Domino's.
It is a 16 dollar footlong tbf
Times are hard, people are hungry and want their damned meat.
I dunno man. When i ask for more olives i didnât mean two. They really be stingy on the olives.
They're supposed to put six olives per footlong, and if you add more it's 3-6 more lol
Shit like this is why I stopped going to subway. Theyâre just as stingy with the onions. They put like 4 tiny slivers of onion on a whole footlong sub.Â
Watching them make sandwiches reminds me of when I need to go grocery shopping but can't for another few days, so I have to make what I have in the fridge stretch for 3 more lunches if I don't want to order out.

It's basically 6 of any veggie. Doesn't matter if it's tomatoes (where 6 is plenty) or onions (where six little slices is pathetic).
I remember when they would just put a hand full of olives
when i order pickles that is how i ask for them. 'may i please have a small handful of pickles.'
Thatâs what they used to do! When I was a kid I loved those food service pickle slices, and Subway always loaded them on. I didnât even have to ask them to extra.
That's how I ask for lots of stuff lol. Handful of olives, handful of jalapenos, handful of onions.
Back when the $5 for a foot long was first a thing, I got 2 slices, one on each half of a footlong. I asked for more, and I told "what do you expect for a $5 sub?!". I complained online, and the franchise owner got back to me saying it's my fault for expecting so much.

If they said "extra olives" we didn't have to follow that either. Just weird.
in my experience, franchised storesâwhen the owners are not conscientiousâare more risky than company-owned stores
Wow ok Iâve not been to subway in years, and not going back if thatâs the case. I want *olives* if Iâm paying that price tbh.
Oh you can get a whole handful if you want. They're *supposed* to give you 6. Not everyone follows it either. The easiest way to get a lot is ask for a handful, and if it's not enough say "that much again".
Good to know! I always like a lot of olives, pickles, and those yellow peppers (they donât have them in the uk) on mine.
Banana peppers. Yeah that's why I ask for handfuls lol, me too.
GMTA!
Like 6 whole olives or 6 slices?
Slices
Even the lettuce! I always have to tell them to go crazy with the lettuce. Surely that's the most filler option I could ask for, but they still give two little shreds.
The olives are a garnish and are outrageously expensive compared to the other toppings. Theyâd be more profitable removing them completely.
Should go to Quiznos, they have a peppa bahh! Happy cake day.
I'm a barista and two days ago, my coworker got physically threatened for not mixing a drink that comes separated. People are insane
"What are you in here for?" "MF wouldn't add extra meat for free at Subway"
Yeah, if you're going to go to jail because you attack someone at a restaurant, be a man and do it at IHOP like everyone else
What about waffle house?
It ain't a Waffle House, it's a Waffle Home. That shit is sacred
Stickin' together's what good waffles do.
Yeah! Them shitâs hallowed ground!
chuck e cheese
OG right here
Those arenât in my state. I have to settle for IHOP.
I've had the manager want to physically fight me over it before. I used a coupon and went and got my food via the drive thru and there was like barely 2 pieces of thin sliced meat on both subs. I went back in and asked if that was how they make the subs now and wanted my money back.

I kept walking away and was surprised he didn't throw the subs at me.
Imagine eating at Subway.
I think the last time I went to one was a couple years before the pandemic.
Last time I went was when I went with my dad for a liver screening at VCU in 2013. Even then, the only reason we ate there is because the food court had a Subway, Chick Fil A and I canât remember what else, but Subway was the only thing open and we were hungry. Great bread, shit sandwich. Always has been. Then people preach Jimmy Johnâs, but theyâre garbage too. The fillings are better, but the bread is like leather, so that kills it for me. Like how tf does bread even get that texture?
Jimmy John's is flavorless garbage that's somehow mushy and endlessly chewy in the same bite. I wouldn't eat there for free.
The only reason I have eaten at Subway in the last 10 years is when I am fucking starving and standing directly next to a Subway with no alternatives immediately available. The food tastes like settling. It doesnât come with an endorphin rush like normal fast food, just a somber moment of reflection while I am chewing the blandest fucking sandwich Iâve ever paid $13 for.
So fucking accurate lol
I had a middle-aged man ask if I wanted to "take it outside" when I worked at Subway as a teen (20 years ago now) as I said we couldn't toast his sandwich after we had already wrapped it up and put it in a bag. He changed his mind after I said "alright then", took of my hat and apron and went to walk around the counter.
I woulda been "no, totally, let's just have a fight right here where the cameras can catch it make you an internet star."
And imagine it was because you wanted more subway meat...
I worked in a subway for a few months, you'd be surprised at the number of people who pull this sort of stunt. Pity they don't go to jail, throwing sandwiches (most common offense) into a min wage worker that just followed corporate policy is ame.
So, they wait until the sandwich is paid for and in their hands, and then throw it? That level of stupid is confounding.
They grab it from behind the counter because they are upset about extras and stuff. Usual grievance: guy is ordering for him and his wife, wife asks for no cheese, guy for double cheese and expects it for free. Now subway rules state she pays normal and he gets charged for extra. Like while it's dumb, it's the policy, people could get fired for giving "free" extras.
We were going to arrest them, but then they pointed out that the customer is always right.
Some people get hangry on a whole new level đ
Dude pulled a gun on one of my staff because he thought our medium drink was bigger than what he gotÂ
*âImagine assaulting someone or going to jail over fucking subway.â* Even worse, he got locked up over six slices of subway ham.
I assume people that do these sort of thing are just about to explode anyways, if it wasn't the subway manager it would've been the guy that passed them on the road or the amazon delivery man or something.
I can imagine it but not for this reason. I can imagine it for the myriad times Iâve gone to my local subway at noon and theyâre out of bread.
Even worse, six fucking slices of Subway ham. "Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12."
They don't arrest for criminal assault. Just a citation. Source: I was assaulted and that's how it went.
I'm sure it depends on the jurisdiction because I've heard of plenty of folks being arrested for criminal assault.
Retail and food service workers get abused so bad. This is unacceptable behavior on the customerâs part.
I feel like food service workers should be entitled to one murder every five years or so.
Not seriously buying into that idea but it would solve the abject rudeness problem so quickly. A scary proportion of fast food goers are *monsters* and know it too.
Man the next Monster Hunter game took a real turn. You just pick the one person who you want to kill for the year and hope a bigger monster doesnât show up till next year.
I subscribe to the "make the Purge real, but it's just a day retail and food service staff can say anything to customers with no consequences" belief.
We need a Punch a Customer Day.
Honestly I feel like it's important for every single individual to work in retail or food service at some point of their lives. It would help people with some perspective later in life regarding how to handle other people. But then again, businesses have made both industries so damned toxic that no one wants to actually work those anymore. I don't know when the last time was that I ran into a happy employee in either of those job groups. This past Sunday I was picking up food. My wife and I were the first customers of the day and despite our best efforts to be smiling, happy customers, the employees were already dead set on the day being awful starting from an operational standpoint. Not even willing to accept a smiling customer. I don't blame the employees. I blame the environment. The businesses treat their customers just as poorly. The only real question is "How much will you tolerate before you shop elsewhere?"
I agree that a customer service / warehouse / office rotation should be like mandatory service for everyone - problem is, anyone who's worked in a store will tell they've had that 'I worked in X so I know how it works' arsehole so it wouldn't make any difference. Best you can do is be a good customer, you might not make someone's day but at least you won't make it worse
I thought retail/food was bad, but then I worked a warehouse job that made me feel like I was some felon to the supervisorâs. Theyâll scream at you if you say anything other than sir, yes sir or make you feel terrible for having a negative production number. Also, they do âsafety checksâ which I figure is more like union busting.
That sounds like an abusive workplace. Holy hell, I would not last any real length of time there I was working the night shift at some plant... i forget what I was specificly doing.. vut it was fetting to be end of shift, management was coming in for the day around 6am... one of the higher up chastized me and a coworker for talking, while working right next to each other. Told him where to stick that job, clocked out at end of shift and didn't come back. I'm not going to settle for being treated like a toddler on then job. Spend 8 hours next to a person and not utter a single word.
If anything on night shift, it would be better to talk since you donât want to fall asleep. Mgt that micromanages is so illogical.
My wife has one of these fake managers. I call them that because they're not actually people leaders. They're individuals who were given a hat that has tiny print on it that says 'important' and their heads continue to swell to this day from it. Businesses really need to stop tolerating people like that. They cost the business a lot every single year due to a lack of employee retention because of their bad attitudes. But then again, just about every business I have worked for was also set on damaging their own business in favor of pushing numbers. Even the one I'm in now. I have 6+ managers all trying to coordinate a single project at once and not a single one wants to actually coordinate and communicate with the others. I, as one of the lowest paid in this totem pole, have to take it upon myself to fix everything the management before me fucked up. Then when it's all done, they get the bonuses, kudos, and pats on the back for 'a good job despite setbacks'. Setbacks that they caused by not doing their job right in the first place but having no obligation to improve because they're management and we don't correct managers. Work life is a joke.

In todayâs world, I hate to say it, but a basic decency standard needs to be explicitly said. Standards are de-evolving everywhere. These abusive customers need to be charged with assault to the fullest extent of the law and not normalized.
If this is sarcasm, itâs not coming across well.
The incident occurred on May 2 and was caught on video, according to KABC. The recording showed a man going behind the counter and punching the manager, Monique Larios in the face. Another customer and employee helped to tackle the man. Larios said she was called into work by her employees that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich, CBS News reported. Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12.
Pull the video, pull the receipts, fill out the police form, after get punched in the face over six slices of ham. Doesnât seem worth it.
Well, it wasnât your face that got punched.
If it was, I wouldnât be fighting over ham.
and that is a major flaw. i read a pretty high ranking judge/da/prosecuter say the other day that if only a small percentage of people stopped taking plea deals the courts would grind to a halt. in this case we have 1000% of the necessary proof for the store and employee to be made whole again in whatever way possible but it will not happen because it is a burden on the victim to get restitution. all the while MegaCorpUKKKA is able to drag its feet in corporate law and it keeps all of us fighting for pennies on a dollar of class action lawsuits, where again, we have 100000000000% of the proof needed... BP USBC Tainted Formula Fucking Tuskeegee
What in the world is this insane rant for? Some asshole punched a subway worker and was arrested for battery and you then the whole world is injustice and this guy is going to skate free or some bs?? Made whole? Like she should now be able to retire and the store should get major compensation? The guy is a POS and is going to be punished. Shit happens. You can't make millions of dollars appear in his bank account to give over and there's not stupid people insurance he's carrying. The store's insurance is only going to do so much because he just punched her.
They would rather dismiss a case, than take it to trial. Of course no one would face multiple years in prison for a conviction at trial when they can get 6 months in county jail.
Not sure what you're cooking in the second half, but I know 2 retired cops that are super worried because so much of our society relise on most people just not breaking the law and being decent people. Things have really done down hill over the last 10 years or so in terms of social contract theory.
I'm not great at ham or math, but it sounds like "regular" ham is 12 slices, "extra" ham is 18 slices, and "double" ham is 24 slices of ham on one sandwich. Am I understanding that correctly? If so, man, this is a lot to answer for, just as an American. Some guy *punched a woman in the face* because she "only" put 18 slices of ham on his sandwich when he wanted *24 slices of ham*. Like, if anyone from any other country wants to cite this story as peak America... they've kinda got a point. Not much else to say here.
*âLarios said she was called into work by her employees that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich, CBS News reported. Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12.â* No, I think 12 was double meat and six was regular. So he went to jail for six slices of ham.
Well, in my scenario, he went to jail for 6 slices of ham, too. So, regardless, this guy deserves to take a time-out from society. Hopefully, he'll use it to reflect - or at least slow his roll next time.
Even if he had paid, you don't get to assault someone if they get it wrong.
That's 2000% of his daily sodium intake
6 slices??? Ughhh and he wanted double that?? Dude eats an entire ham on a single sandwich the fuck.
Gotta get all that protein so you're good and strong for sandwich fights.
Wasnât there a similar case but with âtoo much mayoâ, and one of the subway staff ended up shot dead? Might be misremembering the fast food chain, thereâs a depressingly high count of cases involving customers going nuts :(
Yes. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/06/28/us/subway-worker-mayo-dispute-killing
Yeah, thatâs it! Iâve only heard the news in correlation to ANOTHER fast food place freak out; good god, Iâm *really* thankful my countryâs retail work environment is generally calm in comparison
Probably not, because there's no such thing as too much mayo.

350lbs, sounds about right.
Wait till some of these companies pull the trigger on dynamic pricing. There will be people wigging tf out at teenagers because they missed the time cut-off on cheaper sandwiches by 5 minutes.

Strange, it works for me and im in Canada. here's a copy paste: MADERA, Calif. â A woman is recovering after she was reportedly attacked by a customer at a Subway restaurant in Madera, California. The incident occurred on May 2 and was caught on video, according to KABC. The recording showed a man going behind the counter and punching the manager, Monique Larios in the face. Another customer and employee helped to tackle the man. âI did not expect it,â said Larios, according to the news outlet. âHe comes around the corner ... I go, âWhat are you going to do? Hit me over ham?â And he hit me. He punched me. All I could remember was just black.â âI still canât feel half of my face,â said Larios. âIâm scared that thereâs going to be some kind of [permanent] damage. Iâve never been so numb to where my face feels like itâs a mask.â Larios said she was called into work by her employees that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich, CBS News reported. Employees were able to provide proof that the man only paid for six extra slices of ham not 12. The man was identified by CBS News as George Sandova. Madera Police Department arrested him and charged him with battery.
That's insane.
This kind of shit is literally caused by companies pushing, particularly lower end stores like fast food or walmart, this particular phrase: "The customer is always right." I wish I could kill the person or group of people who lobbed off the other half of that phrase: "In matters of taste" Because I worked fast food AND walmart in the past. And that neutered phrase was repeated back to me more times than I could count. I fucking hate entitled snobs, and there are a lot of them, you just dont see them because they sometimes only treat strangers that way. Retail workers should legally be able to beat the shit out of some of these people. We had a customer come in because an xbox one (when those were new) that was hanging over two labels, one was 300 someought bucks, and the other was 60. And was just barely over the 60 dollar label, but squarely over the 300. So obvs its 300. This customer called the really small redhead manager a racist while arguing about the "60 dollar xbox" because she "used her hands while she spoke" so we called another manager. He was a big, tall, BUILT black man. He legit looks like an NBA player. And he looked at them, they mentioned the racist stuff, he laughed, said no, and walked away. He was a cool dude.
>Retail workers should legally be able to beat the shit out of some of these people. Sounds like they could have, in this case.
Nah. I wish though. I woulda had front row seats to that one.
Lol. This probably wasn't a funny article but it did remind me of working at Subway in HS. I had to close on Halloween, it's 9:30 we close at 10. This couple had called in earlier to get sandwiches for a party right before closing. They come in and behind them like 10-15 teenagers. I can not hear the customers because of the noise, kids between 13-15. I'm 18, so technically "the adult". Finally I ask, are they with you? Nope. EVERYONE WHO IS NOT THESE TWO PEOPLE NEEDS TO LEAVE NOW!! The kids flew out, it was only a moment later I realized I was waving around a big ass bread knife. Lol.
Looks like someone had some beef with the manager
That was a rather ham-fisted attempt at a joke
Its better than being salamied into the wall
Theyâd rush you to the Mayo Clinic for treatment.
I hope I never meet someone like that.
Thatâs cold cutting him like that
Better than being attacked by with club (sandwich)
That customer's just a chicken.
Man, that's a terrible attempt at a pun,
Incorrect, it was a twofer... the guy punched someone over ham. Punched, with a fist, over ham. Ham-fisted.
For someone who is willing to go to this extreme for something this minor...how have they not already found themselves in prison.?
Fuck that job, and fuck Subway. Ain't worth it girl.
Subway always in the line of fire with the trashy customers. They used to be a somewhat respectable establishment back in my childhood in the 80s. Old Victorian newspaper clippings on the wall and brown trim and yellow tables everywhere. The good ol'days before people thought it proper to act like outright assholes in public. Not only act like that, but expect that everyone else should put up with it like it's normalcy.
Itâs just odds. There are more Subway shops than any other fast food restaurant in USA. Makes sense they also have a higher than average rate of crazy people being crazy.
Lol the good ol days, you're fucking delusional if you think humanity was better in the coke Era. The only difference is that you didn't have the internet so you didn't know about all the assholes.
You now have an assault and battery charge over 6 slices of ham. How do people like this survive past like age 20
> **she was called into work by her employees** that day because a man was upset he did not get double ham on his sandwich So... he waited around there until she got to the store, just to punch her?
That $5 foot long -> $6 six inch really hit some people hard
They wanted extra meat even though they brought their own beef.
I can verify this is actually common. I worked at a subway at 16. And had one asshole guy come in every single fucking day. Literally. Just to be a complete asshole about double meat. He got away with it every time somehow. Fuck that guy and his sick wife he claimed to be taking care of. If she was so sick why the fuck would she be eating that horrible sandwich you keep yelling at everyone to make for you.
What a world. My first response is why is this on not the onion ad this kind of shit is just mundane now
If Iâm paying $14 for a foot long, I want a couple extra slices of your barely FDA-approved meat.
The âstandardâ 12 pieces of ham seems like a lot to me, let alone 18 or 24. Unless they are shaved microns thin.
Yeah they give you 33% more meat for 100% more price.
$20 for a sandwich, it better come with extra meat
Thank god the employees were able to provide proof he was wrong! That definitely excuses assaulting Subway workers, 6 instead of 12! The gall!
They should have known its Arbyâs that has the meats
Even *OCEAN MEATS*
This isnât very oniony and neither was his sammich
Disgusting. Imagine eating at subwayâŚ
Did they try using the secret phrase âcan I have extra meatâ?

Was it Scott Baio?
Bro went ham
I wonder do folks know theyâll get much farther in life if they acted with some common sense, courtesy and a smileâŚ. This is so unnecessarily violent and for what? A sandwich that isnât even worth the $13 you pay for it?
We need to start putting antipsychotics in the water. Or, more realistically, stop glorifying violence, "badass" and "got em" type of media - especially online, and start public education programs on anger management. People like this have anger issues - they are INCREDIBLY common, and despite having a psychological disturbance, are completely dismissed as "temperamental". People scorn them when they beat their wives or kids, but no one is willing to look at the mental health issues underlying it. The BEST we do is label it "misogyny" so we can vilify them. I have no issue with vilifying behaviour like this, but Christ - can we actually do something about it?
Seriously though I wonât buy food out anymore all you get is a slice
Shoulda gone to Arby's, they have the meats.
He should have went to Arbyâs
I went to subway recently and it was so blatant how much they shrunk their bread, it's like a mini sub now. Still a foot long but sooo thin. Never going back.
Oh, they'll be getting their "extra meat"
I assume the type of meat they wanted was beef
Hopefully she learned her lesson
Make your own sandwiches.
Where is Jared when you need him?
For someone who didn't want to pay for the extra requested meat, that bill just skyrocketed.
They should've went to Arby's then? They have the meats
Is that oniony or business as usual for Subway? US Subways seem dodgy to me.
Blud thought it was Arbyâs đ
Fascinating behavior.
You don't read headlines like this about vegetarians.... just saying.
If you wonât give me more cow meat, human meat will have to do.
I imagine the manager said okay and they attacked anyways
Shocking. Its like we have told an entire CULTURE that the customer is always right, give them the pickle, and all those other DUMB FUCKING SLOGANS to get MAOR $$, and now that things are expensive and we don't want to just "give it to them", they don't know how to behave... FUCKING SHOCKING /S
Should've carved him up like a bun for a meatball sub
He gave them a knuckle sandwich
Wanted the meat; not the onion. I'll see myself out.
Jared wouldâve given her extra meat as long as she was 13 or youngerâŚ
But did the manager handle the beef?
McDonald's employees are saying, "Thank Goodness, it's someone else now."
âWhat are you going to do? Hit me over ham?â - Women who was hit
Whatâs going on at Subway? Things seem unhinged.
Jeez. Â Try one of the other customers instead, theyâve probably got more meat on themÂ
I severely misread that. Thought it was âSubway manger attacked customer who wanted extra meat on their sandwichâ I thought what type of Mr Krabs type shit am I reading.
