    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.

      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.

      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.
