Subway Sandwiches

One star.  That's it.  I have been to this Subway 4 or 5 times and I always hope for the best.  Actually, I hope for mediocre.  

It seems as if the staff is being punished for being at work.  The attitudes are horrendous.  It's almost like I am a complete nuisance to them.  

The produce is sad looking and tasting.  The meat and bread are ok.  At least the prepackaged chips and beverages are good!

The reason for this review is for the accounts of today's visit.
Icing.  On.  The.  Cake.

Well, I walk in and lo and behold!  My favorite employee is working.  Equipped with the scowl on her face and hatred in her eyes.  Ready to put clumps of pickles all over every sandwich that gets in her way.  It's as if the only way she knows how to apply vegetables to a sandwich is by the fistful.

Well, she's the least of my problems today.  I am ok with reassembling my sandwich when I get home.

The cashier is obviously having a bad day.  I'm not sure what her home life is like, but apparently, she brought it all to work and she's going to take it out on one customer at a time.
I'm sorry your children are little assholes and your husband doesn't love you, but all I want is for you to greet me with a smile and take my money correctly without argument.

Well, my wishes were not granted.  This is not a genie in a bottle.  Not a wishing well.  I was not able to throw loose change into a fountain.  This is a Subway with inherently unhappy employees.

I ordered the $5 footlong of the month - the Spicy Italian.
My total came to $7.16.  
My lovely cashier did not ask if I wanted anything else.  Didn't ask what kind of sub I ordered.  Just gave me a total.
I asked, "Isn't my sub $5?"
"Well, you got a combo." she replies.
"No, I didn't ask for a combo.  I just wanted the sub."
"Oh, well, that's the price for your sub.  The BMT is full price.  Just the Spicy Italian is $5."
"I ordered the Spicy Italian.  That's what I got."
"Well, I already rung you up."
"So, since you neglected to ask me first, what kind of sub I had, you just assumed, AND didn't ask me if I wanted a combo or anything else with my sub, you just decided to ring me up for whatever you felt like?"
"I guess so."

Since it's lunch time and I had a line of people behind me, I decided to stop the fight and grab my sub and receipt and exit.  With a little "Have a wonderful day.  You deserve it." on my way out.

I will drive to any other city from now on to enjoy Subway.
