What part of "don't cut it" is too difficult to comprehend?

I've had this happen at a number of places, but today it happened to be Subway. I had the jones for a Veggie Max sub and since it is cheaper to get a foot-long than two six-inch subs, I got the longer one. It gets down to the end and I ask for oil and vinegar and say, "don't cut it". I get home and the fucker was cut anyway. I didn't even see her do it. We like to lop off portions as we want them. Cutting it in half just screws it up a bit. How fucking difficult is it to pay attention to such a simple instruction? I've had that happen at Quiznos and several local sub shops as well. Is there a clearer way to phrase that other than pounding my chest and screaming, "DON'T CUT MY FUCKING SUB! I WANT IT WHOLE!"?

End of rant.

I'll stress NO PICKLES

what do I find when I get the sandwich - FRICKING PICKLES

Sure, I could just waste the pickle and throw it away but my whole sandwich will still taste like pickles (and I just wasted food too).

:grr:

I get three burgers with catsup and pickles on them. I call in every time to the number on the receipt. Means nothing.

Especially if there's cheese involved.

No matter WHAT you say or ask or demand (or tearfully, chokingly plead), if there's cheese... I'm gonna cut it.

Enjoy your meal. Have a nice day.

It's a Law of Physics, or Nature, or Something.
It's also immoral.
In some (most) states, it's also unlawful.

Mayo is the glue (emulsion) that holds the whole thing together.
Otherwise you got bacon and lettuce and tomato flyin' all over the place.
The tomato slicky stuff lubes on the slicky-slidey lettuce and you got stuff leakin' and slidin' out and just goin' EVERYWHERE.
It's a MESS.

What are you?
A commonist?
:eyes:

Someone once suggested using peanut butter instead of mayo but I never tried it. :-)

I like Ranch on my BLT ;)

try to do it differently: reflex kicks in

For years, I got my purchase in a bag after the following conversation with cashier: "I don't need a bag for that." "You don't want a bag?" "No, I'll just throw it away."

Or, "I don't need ketchup with my fries." "You don't want ketchup?" "Nope." (Clerk then puts handful of ketchup packs in bag with fries)

Nine times out of ten when I go down road A I immediately get off at exit B. Hardwired robot that I am, I'll regularly get off at exit B even if I'm not planning to

If you really want to fuck with Subway minds, ask em to cut your sammich in thirds: they'll always start by cuttin it in half

I had an even funnier experience with a pizza about ten years ago. I lived within walking distance of a Ledo's. They make rectangular pizzas with a simple flour and water crust - sort of like Papa John's thin crust, but better. One of my daughters wanted just black olives. Another wanted just mushrooms. The third wanted both. After about ten minutes on the phone, I thought I had gotten the idea through to the order taker. Two thirds on one side with mushrooms, two thirds on the other with black olives so that there will be one third black olives, one third both, and one third mushrooms. I offered to pay for two full pizza toppings.

What I got was a little over 1/2 mushroom, a little less than 1/4 black olive, and the rest plain cheese. I really didn't think it was all that complicated, but the concept of thirds just fucks with people.

Not the example you're giving (or needing) but a similar result. Make the bottom two quarters with mushrooms. Then make the left (or right) two quarters with olives. That way you should get one quarter of no toppings, one with olives, with with mushrooms and one with both :)

You'd probably do best drawing up a diagram for most of them. Make that a detailed diagram with concise instructions on how to assemble it, with color-coded labels on all areas affected :P (Consider that all too often, that's exactly how they are taught how to assemble sandwiches and pizzas, not by example from another employee.)

blaspheme.

At least that's what happened to me ages ago, when I must've forgot the customer's request for extra pickles.

I'll just mention it to him the next time I see him.

don't foreclose on my house. I said don't foreclose on my house. WTF? I've never missed a payment, so why did you foreclose?"

Happens all the time, too.

:blush:

Actually, that was rather funny.

a surprise to find out you are sooooo annoyed with a cut sandwich,not that I don't have my own searing pet peeves that get me twisted. Very humorous to read what sets others off.

:)

:mad:

I always get a 6" tuna on Parmesan Oregano bread.

"All I want on it is salt, pepper, and mayonnaise"

"What?"

"All I want on it is salt, pepper, and mayonnaise"

"Do you want lettuce and tomatoes?"

"All I want on it is salt, pepper, and mayonnaise"

"How about onions or peppers"

"All I want on it is salt, pepper, and mayonnaise"

"Would you like any other sauce?"

"SALT - - - PEPPER - - - AND MAYO - - -"

My dad always had a variation at McDonald's. He'd lay a dollar and six cents on the counter, and say "I'd like a McChicken Sandwich"

They would endlessly upsell, and he'd say - "sure, whatever that $1.06 will buy me, go right ahead"

Exactly how much of each item to place on the sub, a rote operation like an assembly line job. Cutting the sub is probably part of the routine, and that's what gets done, possibly without even thinking about it.

I like my subs saucy. So I tell them, extra sauce, please. They do one pass with the sauce. "No, I said extra sauce" so they'll do a little squirt. "A little more" squirt "A little more!" squirt "more than that!" squirt squirt "more..oh nevermind"

:P

"Would you like lettuce" as he starts to shake oil and vinegar on the bread...


WHAT PART OF NOTHING DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?



And continues to put the lettuce on. I walk out.


Have not been back to a Subway since. That's two years.

Would you like chips and a drink with that sub?

:hi:
