Your Weird Food Combinations Have Nothing Against This Woman's Subway Order As Told By The Sandwich Artist Who Made It
“Dear reader, I ran out. And she says, "Do you have another bottle?"
Customer service employees see a lot of bizarre things. These stories are the kind of experiences that would be completely believable if you had seen them with your own eyes.
They probably witness how people's tastes can vary from subtle preferences to something a bit more extreme. Most experiences would be chalked up to a passing thought, not impactful enough to question.
To each their own, you know? But there are moments when a customer asks for something so borderline weird that it haunts the employee forever.
Although that’s a bit dramatic, an experience from an ex-Subway employee proved that humans can really throw you off guard. It started when the original poster (OP) was working there in her 20s.
At that time, she admitted that she had made questionable sandwiches, but nothing tops this. During one of her shifts, a group of high schoolers came in, and she served one of the girls there.
The girl wanted a footlong on white bread, starting off ordinarily. Then she requested cheese slices and moved on to no veggies and not having it toasted.
OP asked if she wanted sauce, and she said yes. The customer wanted ranch, and OP put on the regular serving of it, but the customer wanted more, and more, and more.
Here’s the full story that OP couldn’t help but remember
pb_and_garlicOP, along with her relatively young co-workers, was working the early dinnertime shift

OP knows that sometimes, people don’t like as much flavor in their sandwiches

But then, when she put on the ranch in the sandwich, the customer kept wanting more

It got to the point where all you could see was ranch rather than the sandwich

Wary of the amount of ranch, OP looked at the customer again, and she motioned for her to keep going

Her friends seemed to feel like this was nothing new

OP felt like the situation was getting a bit ridiculous

And just when there seemed to be a breath of relief, the customer wanted another bottle

The manager gave in to the customer’s request

Finally, FINALLY, the customer was satisfied with the amount and said no to seasoning

The customer sat down to eat it, and that’s how the worst sandwich OP ever made came about

If OP thought it was a joke, it wasn’t

The readers were very amused by OP’s story

They start off ordinary until it’s a whole Rachel’s Thanksgiving trifle recipe kind of situation

Tuna is a smell that can turn from stinky to downright unbearable

Not as extreme, but a lot of people have strong feelings about pizza toppings

It’s like cake but with a watered crust

They couldn’t say no, but they could kick him out, maybe

Well, they might not have known that, so you can still be part of their weird stories

OP thought she’d go to work that day like she normally does, maybe getting a few weird sandwich combinations here and there for orders. Then this customer came around, starting off ordinarily, and the situation escalated into one of OP’s worst-order nightmares. But at least she got a good story that entertained people out of it.
