I'm a big fat guy so, like all big fat guys, I eat at Subway to get my fast-food fix without feeling bad about it.
The guy that works at Subway all-the-loving-time, whose name I do not even know, but who I see every time I go there typically has a sense of humor. I figure he knows me by now. I try to joke with him, but lately he's been pretty pissed off just every loving time I go there and today it got on my nerves.
I get this sandwhich combination every time.
Spicy Italian on Italian Bread and Provolone Cheese.
Lettuce, Green Peppers, Onions, and Banana Peppers. No sauce, nothing else.
Apparently, Subway Corporation has a mandate that states you may only put 6 of any vegetable slice on a sandwhich, unless the customer wishes to pay for more. This has never come up before. The employee always dumps a stuffton of banana peppers whenever I say "and a lot of banana peppers." Not this guy, not anymore. The last several times I'm gone there he has put just 6 on my sammich and I kind of joked with him, saying: "Man, you're getting stingy on the banana peppers." -- Kind of a jerk comment, but I tried to keep my tone as jocular as possible. I work in a restaurant, I know how annoying a belligerent customer is, I don't want to be like that.
His retort was:
"Subway protocol is six of each vegetable. Any more, we get written up, we get fired, and unless you want to come to my house and take care of my four year old, that isn't happening."
I didn't say anything, but he leaned over to the cashier and said something like:
"People come in here and complain about the vegetables, they can kiss my ass. Go work at Quiznos and you can give as many loving vegetables as you want."
This pissed me off. It's one thing to get antsy with someone, it's another thing to say stuff to the person right next to you in a hushed tone so that they don't hear you.
I was paying with a $20 bill. The sammich was $5. I put the twenty down, said "Here, take this. The sandwhich is on me. Go feed your loving four year old get a real job."
Then I walked out.
Then I went to the other subway.
I'm eating my Spicy Italian on Italian Bread (toasted), with Lettuce, Green Peppers, Onions, and a lot of Banana Peppers. Tastes good, man.
