What’s the matter? Do you find it displeasing when Subway counts the olives, lettuce pieces, and rotten frozen tomatoes? Why anyone would choose to eat at that filthy Subway store is beyond me. In Toronto, a cold cut sandwich now costs $13 before tip.
The one’s around me tried doing the counting thing for a bit. 2 of them are now closed, and the other one’s let you put whatever toppings you want now. We didn’t put up with that shit, and it changed.
Also, who tf tips at subway?
I use to, until this one night I was in a Subway store and went to pay and added a tip, and the girl behind the counter cancelled the transaction and told me to do it again without the tip, she said the owner keeps it all. I admit I still went to other subways, but never tipped again, then stopped going all together as price gouging got worse.
People who don’t know that a sandwich is just putting food stuff in between two pieces of bread. Subway as far as food chain is concerned is probably one of the easiest chains you can ignore because of how easy it is to just make it yourself. So it’s not a big huge brag that you didn’t put up with someone doing something so basic anyone below the working age learns to do to feed themselves. I mean who are these people who can’t even figure out to make a sandwich anyways? Are they not permitted to handle a knife?
At this point, that became true, because it’s no longer fresh. I mean the bread is, always was, but nothing else is fresh anymore.
Those of us who realize the workers tend to be those unable to get anything better, even if they are trying (see: ex-convicts) and understand that $9/hr ain’t a living wage
I hope you’re giving the employees cash, otherwise you’re probably just giving the store a couple of extra bucks that the employees likely never see.
My wife worked at one. Cash tips are definitely best as they aren’t officially taxed, but after taxes the employees do see every cent of digital taxes inside their paychecks. One biweekly paycheck was ~$50 more in tips alone for her. That was while her manager went on extended “medical” leave for an entire month and a half, leaving her, only one month into employment, fielding the lunch rush solo 3-4 days a week.
Not my job to subsidize their wage either. The more people are willing to tip, the less likely wages will be raised.
Sure.
Though tbf sandwiches are the easiest thing to make. Why people are getting something that costs under 4 dollars to make at home in under ten minutes and instead pay to have it made for 13$ and then complain about it but then keep going back is very bizarre to me. You’re paying a buck a minute for someone to slap separate, non cooked ingredients together for you. That’s 60 dollars a minute to just throw pieces of food into another form.
And you’re not even staying at subway to eat it. People get it to go and eat it anywhere else they could bring their home sandwiches to.
Gotta use the app, between bogo’s and 6.99 footlongs paying full price is ridiculous.
They can count all they want. It won’t fill anybody.
I can get sub at a supermarket for 6-8$ and it’s way more filling.
