Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

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 work at subway as a side job and the same thing happens to me all the time! Also the "how big is a foot long?" Oh and my favorite, "what type of bread would you like?" And they respond by saying "I said turkey!" Well ok then, turkey bread it is...
Taylor22294 24
No my favorite is "hey how is your day going"? I'd like a footlong turkey. Well ok sir

Or the "would you like any veggis on that?" Response: "No." Then "HEY! You didn't put my pickles on there!" -.- it isn't that hard! Lol

Ignorance is everywhere.

It's probably 'cause s/he was asking you to show how long 6 inches actually is. However you prefer to do that of course ;)

I once had a customer ask me if they could get their iced tea cold.

That just means straight out of the refrigerator without ice. I like my cranberry juice and Arizona iced teas that way. Cold, "without ice added" to water it down. It's not that hard to understand what they want. If you don't keep your teas in the fridge then the answer is simply "no". Sorry but I don't think they're stupid for asking that question. Just think of a martini-- straight up. Shaken not stirred.

It could be a little longer than six inches or it could be like a baker dozen

What your saying all your sandwhiches are exactly 6" there is quite often a significant difference and trading standards allow like a certain percentage error

Did he specifically ask how big it is in inches? If not, he could be from a country that uses the metric system.
