Today, the guy at Subway asked if I wanted to make my sandwich a footlong. I'm not sure what came over me, but before I realized what I was saying, I'd told him that I couldn't handle 12 inches. FML

Today, while working the Sunday rush at the deli, I held up a piece of ham to a blind customer and asked him if it was thick enough. FML

Get back here!
Today, whilst working at Subway, I took an order for 6 footlongs. The entire process took 15 minutes due to the customer's hesitant and glacial pace. When it came to paying, he pulled out his wallet, looked inside, looked at me, and walked quickly out of the store. FML

Flustration
Today, I got flustered by the gorgeous sandwich artist at Subway and ordered a “meat-long foot-ball.” On Rye of course. FML

Customer service
Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML

Subbed
Today, my girlfriend and I were buying Subway. When it came to ring up the order the lady asked us together or separate? My girlfriend looked and said separate. Half-jokingly, I asked if it was some sort of hint. She looked at me and said yes. I got broken up over a 12-inch ham sub. FML

Today, a woman came in to order lunch. She ordered a sandwich then asked for me to configure it precisely to her complicated desires. This took a whole 5 minutes, during the lunch rush. When I told her the cost, she decided it was too expensive and cancelled her order. FML

Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML

I remember a subway guy saying someone ranted about the subs because they are not 6". Maybe the dude wanted the precise measurement.

Is that a serious question??? Lol. Unreal.

kinda like the question which one weighs more? a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
lfrider92 21
It's the bricks of course. Everybody knows that. *sarcasm*

You should have promtly retrieved a tape measure and given him a precise measurement, that's customer service at it's peak.

Something tells me you wouldn't measure up to the sub.

Among other things, that's probably a health code violation.

People are starting to lack common sense nowadays.

Tell him it's the same length as the bill he's about to pay with.

To be fair, Subway's footlongs were found to be about 11 inches long.

Fair question since they aren't always 6 inches

Considering the fact that the foot long subs at subway aren't actually twelve inches, this is a legitimate question. Alternatively he could be from a nation that uses metric.
