To the young guy working there.

"Hi, Can I get 6 inches please" followed by silence.

😐

To make it worse he was definitely trying not to laugh. I am never going in there again.

Well, on the plus side, you ordered the best sandwich. As long as you got it on Italian herb and cheese, with all of the salad and honey mustard sauce, that is. No cheese, untoasted. Thanks. 😏

I hate to break it to you but Subway have stopped doing Honey and Mustard sauce - very disappointing!

Dd and I still laugh about the time we stopped at a subway on a long journey and ordered our sandwiches only to be told they had no bread. At all.

He actually let us stand there and say our orders before he politely informed us there was no bread. Why he and a colleague were stood there behind the counter wearing plastic gloves as if ready to make sandwiches I will never understand. I mean, why not just close up shop? What is the point of subway exactly if they are unable to make sandwiches?🤣

That happened to us at Lancaster University Open Day. Long single file queue and we wondered why everyone was coming away with just crisps, drinks, etc. When we finally got to the counter, they said "no bread". It's baffling why they didn't have one of the staff telling people in the queue that they had no bread so we weren't all waiting to be told individually. I can understand them not wanting to close as they could sell other things, but at least tell people before they get to the counter. It's not as if the staff were busy, 2 of them were just stood there (one by the bread, one by the salad) looking bored as they had nothing to do. It was only the till guy who was taking money for the drinks and crisps!!

Well fuck a duck. Why!? It was the best sauce!

It's just a standard thing to ask for in Subway.I'm sure it's not the first time he's been asked that.

But that's all she said. Was he supposed to know what filling she wanted?

No but he would have asked surely.

I agree. Tragic news.

Two of the guys in the office came back with subway one lunchtime and their boss exclaimed about how large one of their rolls was (it was long time ago and he'd never been to subway) so they were explaining how you either get a 6" or 12" sub to which I added "I've never managed 12", 6 is plenty" and that is how my colleague choked on a meatball marinara.

I know!! My favourite! I couldn't believe it.

My (early twenties) son once asked a red haired lad working in Aldi if he had ginger nuts - and the lad replied “that’s a very personal question!”. My son was mortified and I was in stitches - I had to step in and tell him we were looking for the ginger snap biscuits. The assistant was laughing too so I was all good, but I still tease my son about it some years on.

vanillawaffle · 28/03/2024 17:12

That's not really funny. They should just say yes - which bread would you like. Then which filling. Then cheese and toasted? Then vegetables? Sauce? Eat in/takeaway? Anything else?

By saying - yes? And which bread would you like? Which filling?

It must be so tiresome working at subway if people keep trying to make jokes about penises.

Yes.I imagine the joke got tired very fast.

The guy was trying so hard not to laugh, and failed! He obviously found it funny!

I wanst trying to do anything. I was trying to order a sandwich and had an ADHD brain fart. (technical term)

It's only after the guy was furiously trying to hold back laughter did it click that it sounded weird the way I said it.

Yes yours was an innocent mistake but others on this thread think it's Sooooo hilarious. It's not. It's childish if done deliberately.

ABwithAnItch · 28/03/2024 17:21

Not quite as bad but was recently at Starbucks with DH, who ordered a ‘large grande’. He also said it in this super confident manner and didn’t understand the silence that followed.

viques · 28/03/2024 17:22

Was that six inches with a couple of meatballs?

I'm so glad I don't like coffee as those menus are gibberish to me 😂

I think OP should return tomorow and demand 12 inches with a completely straight face. Say something like the 6 inches were good but she needs something more satisfying that'll last a bit longer 🥖
