I’m a 17-year-old female, and I used to work at the local subway. It was usually quiet, with only one person working each shift.
This story happened when I was working alone during the night shift.
Small shops like ours typically have a sign out front that says the “Sandwich Artist” is on break and will be back soon.
There was a camera from the rest room that looked ahead, and I could see a couple with a child (parents around 40 years old, child around 8 years old) standing there looking at the signboard.
Find the hint, girl…
They continued to wait, which was unusual. Most people just go to the nearby McDonald’s.
Feeling sick, I decided to make a quick sandwich.
The woman asked for gluten free bread. I internally groaned because gluten-free bread is tricky, difficult to balance, takes longer to heat, and even more difficult to handle.
When I picked up the bread, she asked for recommendations. I suggested BMT but she asked for taco beef instead.
No problem. I made a sandwich and put it in the oven.
While the bread was heating up, the child started pulling on the glass and yelled, “Can I have a free drink?” Mommy said I could do it! ”
Man, this sounds like a restaurant employee’s nightmare.
When the bread came out, the cheese was falling off (as is often the case with gluten-free breads), so they asked for more cheese for free.
Then she asked, “Can you please add more meat?”
I was confused because the meat wasn’t falling off, but I still complied.
When I asked her what vegetables she wanted, she said “all”.
The gluten-free bread was difficult to close and shrunk.
When I added more lettuce, she complained, “Don’t you think there should be more?”
I explained, “Since you asked for all the vegetables, I’m trying to figure out how much is appropriate.”
She murmured something to her husband in a mocking manner.
This sandwich maker is incorrect.
After about 10 minutes, the sandwich was completed.
Then she asked, “Can I have this for half price?” Obviously not gluten free. ”
I was confused and asked, “What do you mean?”
She answered, “The bread touched the table.”
I explained that I had disinfected everything, changed gloves, and used a different knife, but she blurted out, “You don’t want to get your son sick, do you?”
At that point, I might have been rude. I said, “If your child’s health is so important to you, you should definitely double-check before ordering.” We will follow protocols unless instructed otherwise. ”
She looked stunned and ran off screaming, “I won’t buy that!”
However, her husband was kind, apologetic, and said he understood.
I gave a sandwich to the guy who was fixing the refrigerator.
Although the employees followed all the rules, the customers were not satisfied and neither were the children’s manners.
Reddit thinks this worker is a saint for dealing with a woman like this.
This person knows the motives of these women.
This person has been there before.
And this person doesn’t buy it.
When gluten-free sandwiches bring more drama than they’re worth, the bread may not be the only thing that’s tricky.
