In the mail the other week I received a sheet full of vouchers for my favorite lunch destination, Subway. On this sheet were all kinds of offers - free second 6 inches, "Free Upgrade", "Free breakfast"... that kind of thing. So yesterday for lunch I headed into my local favorite, and took with me a "Free Upgrade" voucher. The text on this one read: "Purchase a Subway 6-inch sub and a medium drink and we'll upgrade you to a Subway Foot Long sub free".

Cool I thought, cheaper than normal lunch. So I proceeded to order my normal footlong, complete with swiss and pineapple goodness, and eventually made it to the register, where I handed him my newly acquired voucher - "Can I use this?", I asked?

El geniouso carefully read over it once, twice, and then looked up and pointed to it, saying to me, "No, this is for a six-inch". Briefly I tried to explain what was going on, but he couldn't understand: No, you just give me the footlong and medium drink, and charge me for a 6-inch and medium drink.

This was still confusing to him, so I eventually gave up.

So my question is this: Despite the recession, is the sandwitch-selling business really seeing that much a lack of skilled labour that those employed cannot interpret store vouchers?

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL PART TWO

A+ Will read again.

No see you ordered wrong.

You should have ordered a six inch and drink and then at the counter presented the voucher. At this point they will throw the 6 inch in the bin and prepare you a 12 inch.

I suspect penis related gags to enter this thread.

For example: 'You love a 12 incher at lunch time.'

Can't wait for part 2.

Funny.

LOL

heh. I am not much of a voucher guy but when I do I always give them it first so the r-tards can figure out whether it is valid or not.

also subway is sh1t

was this engrish related or an actual idiocy?

At the supermarket they had an amazing special on beer (NZ supermarket, where you can buy beer in there). A 6 pack of Pilsner Urquel for $5. That's NZ dollars, so even less than that for us. So I decided to buy three boxes of the stuff (there was a full car so I couldn't get any more) and at the check out we had a bit of a delay, because the lady couldn't quite work out how many 6 packs it was, as it was sold by the 6 pack. 4 per box, three boxes = 12 six packs of beer. But she had to count them individually, to get to 12, twice, then got the manager person to check it was right. Hmmm.

I don't drink pilsner anymore. Totally over it.

couple years back i scored 50+ subway vouchers in the bins at the toowong post office. i guess most people chuck them out when they collect their mail. me and the guys at work used them up pretty quickly.

Speaking of the chicks at Subway. Twas just down at the Holland Park one and the chicky babe behind the counter was a complete honey bunny. I would hit her with the force of a thousand angry muslims.

i went a cafe the other day, not my normal one but one i do visit regularly.

i got some dinner and a coffee and it cost $16.20 or something.

So when I go up to pay I give the girl a $50 note and $1.20 in coinage. She types in $21.20 into the register so straight away I take notice.

The register says $4.00 as the change as you would expect so she gives me $4 in coin and a $20 note. I then look at her waiting and she asks "whats up?" and i said "I gave you a $50" and she agrees and just waits. Finally i say "you have short changed me $10" and she disagrees. So then I explain it through, 3 times before she gets it and gives me another $10.

My question is, if you are poor at maths, or having a bad math day, why not just put in the right amount into the register? Why even try to do simple arithmetic?

Probably so she can skim the extra $10 off unsuspecting customers.

pineapple... on subway?

are you f***ing high on methamphetamine?

i wish!

I have to agree with paveway. Pineapple and/or beetroot do not belong on sandwiches, burgers or any another bread encased snack.

It's just not on.

They are just poor sandwich artists trying to make a living.

a long time ago one of the subways at indro had this dude that would suggest awesome combinations. he was pro at sammich making. subway has never been quite the same since.

Pineapple on a sub would taste like complete ass. Actually, I can't stand having anything on bread that make it go soggy, like tomato and beetroot.

i have no issue with beetroot on certain sandwhiches, not subway

pineapple shouldn't be eaten with vegetables and/or meat, this includes pizza you hawaiian pizza freaks.

LOL! I got a good one... Over xmas i went down to Sydney to catch up with some mates. f*** they have some genius' there as well as stupid drinking laws. No shots and s***. So im at the bar, and im i order a beer, scotch and coke for this bird, and i say ill have a glass of glenlivett on ice.

Bartender bird: I cant serve you that.
Me: Why not?
Bartender: Its top shelf
Me: So?
Bartender: Its more expensive.
Me: (now very bewildered) Yes, I know, Im happy to pay more for it.
Bartender: But its top shelf.
Me: Yes, so?
Bartender: Its got more alchol.
Me: (Now getting grumpy and thirsty) I dont mean to tell you how to do your job, but theres a little number on the side of the bottle followed by a % symbol. Thats the alcholic content. You just gave me a cheaper house scotch and coke, why the f*** cant you give me that one, just less ice?
Bartender: You have 2 drinks, you cant get 3. NSWs law...


Well... she sure showed me!

Whoelse misses the Subway Ticket stickers ?
I get subs twice a week and there is a big difference in the quality sub Vs the Newb sub maker.
Newb sub maker will put way too much sauce, skimp on salad apart from way too much lettuce. Put more salt on ur sub than the dead sea has. Then incorrectly charge you.
I pretend to not know what i want till i see a true Subway Artist.
Subs are NOT sammys.

AS for incorrect change ... Ive noticed that the average shop attendant does not know basic maths and its best to just hand them Dollar notes and wait for change. Any deviation from this plan always ends up in long discussion.

I love Seafood subs with Sweet Chilli and seafood sauce and Pepper.
Brinh it home and pop it in the Freezer for 15 mins.

This is hilarious. The more I read the more I think you are a troll.

Might be a bit too soon for that insult I think. As would 'drown in a flood'.

beetroot is AWESOME on chicken/ham sandwiches and hamburgers.

Wasnt the Beetroot they used to have Cubed ?

Wish they had a meat pattie sub.

If the Victorian fires had destroyed nothing but Beetroot farms, we would be carrying those fire bugs on our shoulders through the main street.

As for pineapples, they belong in fruit salad or as part of a tropical juice drink. Anyone who eats hot pineapple or pineapple on a burger or pizza is one step away from a s*** muncher.

No offense to s*** munchers out there. Actually, on second thought, offense to you. Offense to all of you people who eat s***.

Protip: If you go to a subway that's pretty busy, and you notice each person only does a certain thing, like one for meat, one for salad, one on register, order double meat (or other extras) and odds are you won't get charged the extra. ;)

Beetroot Rules, end of story.

Pineapple on the other hand is a curly one. It shouldn't be on burgers and or anything hot really but in it's natural habitat of fruit salads etc it's all good.

Beetroot is most definetely on. Hard.

i both beat and root paveways mum

pineapple on burgers and pizza rules as do pineapple fritters

as does beetroot. Roast beets with lamb or beef is tops.

i preusme the incredible vegetable name is slang for incredible retard !

I was at a maccas recently and gave my order, waited around for like 20 minutes while she continued to serve other people, and then the same bulldog looking girl looks at us and goes 'are ya right?'. She had completely forgotten we even ordered anything! Probably f***ing ate it herself.

Beetroot rocks.
Tomato is okay on sandwiches but blergh in salads - as long as it is put between toppings and not against the bread.
Pineapple belongs on the dessert menu, not the dinner menu

i preusme the incredible vegetable name is slang for incredible retard !

Ouch! You hurt my feelings, internet.

there is a big difference in the quality sub Vs the Newb sub maker

damn straight, i always usually get extra southwest anyway because it's probably one of the best things invented ever. it does s*** me when there isn't enough salads though, or too many f***ing jalepenos i like them but f*** a fist full is a bit too much.

haha rofl incredible vegetable, great posts in this epic thread.

i totally agree with you. you c***s that have pineapple and beetroot on burgers and sandwiches are 2 headed freaks

u know whats also f***ing stupid? getting a chicken burger or a hamburger, and adding bacon

that s*** is f***ing dumb

u know whats also f***ing stupid? getting a chicken burger or a hamburger, and adding bacon

That's where your views in common with vegetable come to an abrupt end.

Any meal could use more bacon, imo.

Um bacon makes almost anything taste even more awesome...

Double bacon cheeseburger deluxe from HJ's...om nom nom. Haven't had one of those in about 6 months...

My question is, if you are poor at maths, or having a bad math day, why not just put in the right amount into the register? Why even try to do simple arithmetic?

wouldn't the change when paying for something that costs $16.20 with $21.20 be $5? More to the point, how did you miss this, when it was obviously the reason you gave her the extra $1.20?

On topic, subway rocks, but newb employees are the bane of my life. Rarely short changed, but the quality of the sub differs hugely depending on who makes it.

Also, I don't understand everyones obsession with bacon. Surely not EVERYONE is in love with it???

wouldn't the change when paying for something that costs $16.20 with $21.20 be $5? More to the point, how did you miss this, when it was obviously the reason you gave her the extra $1.20?

He gave her $51.20. The $21.20 was a mistake that she typed in.

Also, yes Sparrow, everyone is in love with bacon.

Sparrow's point is $21.20-$16.20 is $5 not $4. And yes bacon is overrated.

Its stupid complaining about stupid people

next time when you order get a sandwich not a sandwitch, those bitches f*** you up

Pineapple is f***ing awesome, especially on pizza and burgers. Beetroot too will always have a place on my burgers and sandwiches.

Very rarely have Subs over here because the price is usually quite high, and they aren't typically high quality. However, on my way back from the gym the other day I found a cache of vouchers sitting on a ledge outside a pub, and snatched at the opportunity.

I agree with the pineapple - doesn't belong on a savory meal in my opinion. What's worse is they want to shove sweet corn on your sub/pizza/everything in the UK - like really load the s*** out of your sandwich with it. If they could somehow get baked beans in there too I'm sure they would.

I dont know, bacon is nice on burgers ... not all of them but there are some that are good with it. Ie. dutch hamburgers that cost 10 euro's a pop. Bacon on chickenburgers doesnt work for me though.

pinapple + beetroot or anything remotely sweet off too

lol!

you all whinge a bit too much, when I pay $10 for a sub I make sure they get it right
you *CAN* tell the person to take some off, put more on, start again cause they f***ed it with 10x too much sauce etc

I really don't mind being -that guy- when customer service people are f***ing with my food

Yeha subways are expensive in europe, I never liked them in the first place so will never get them here. By the way a zinger menu is 6 euros or so and in sydney was 7 dollars when I left?

This thread really picked up today. Well done QGL. I got some good laughs from it.

And yes bacon is overrated.

they all have their place, if someone wants to come with me I'm prepared to picket the subway head office to bring back beetroot.

Pineapple and beetroot are awesome on subs. Pineapple is also great on pizza.

Also, if I grab a sub I don't grab lettuce. It's just better than way, too much risk of over-lettucing my sub.

haha guys, great thread

i went into subway with a work order the other day...

all innocent giving an order for 12 subs at peak lunch time.

i never knew the meaning of subway-queue-customer-rage... i figured im paying them for 12 subs, they should be happy. but me and my packet of 12 subs could not appease the angry unwashed masses now queing into the street.

lol

p.s what about KFC adding a HASH BROWN to a burger? SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING AT KFC FOOD LABS! woot

so did you pay for a 6" or foot long

f***in stupid young dick face c***s have been pissing me off so much lately. HOW f***IN HARD IS IT TO PUT PINEAPPLE AND BACON ON A BURGER FFS!!!

i had to get this burger re-made 5 times at kfc the other day, the ppl behind the counter where looking at me with their dumb expressions trying to work out how to put a piece of pineapple and a piece of bacon on a zinger burger...

firstly it was an original with no pineapple/ bacon,
2nd: zinger, no pineapple/bacon,
3rd: orig, no pine/bacon
4th: zinger, bacon, no pineapple
5th: zinger, pineapple and bacon FINALLY!!!!

It's just better than way, too much risk of over-lettucing my sub.

Over-lettucing for the lose. I always instruct the reduced lettuce on subs and kebabs (not that I've had a kebab in yonks).

You need a bit, but not a whole damn lettuce.

This thread is awesome. It's basically "my opinion is better than yours".

GG you lunatics.

pineapple needs to be on every burger.. i dont c why mcdonalds dont have a burger with pineapple on it, they are losing a huge market of pineapple burger eaters

5th: zinger, pineapple and bacon FINALLY!!!!

And a special helping of man-sauce!

well i hope so. but i mean seriously what a f***ing dumb cook/ burger maker person

have scanner and printer..


will get free McDonalds and Merlo Cofee vouchers for lyfe.

the original scooby agrees with the name stealing one, pineapple is awesome on everything

Bacon+Egg

This I don't get. Wtf do I want to eat breakfast all over again on a f***ing buger?

I'll gladly take the bacon, keep your festy runny eggs from the hot box at Wacol for the inmates. Adding egg instantly turns any burger into a trailer park feed.

lol scoobs, thats nearly all possible combinations of trying to make that burger

K, so that needs to go here: http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/

Also, pineapple is awesome on pizza's and in sandwiches, goes down well with tuna sandwiches. Beetroot is ok but don't miss it if it's not there.

Macon loves bacon if I'm not mistaken.

Subway here does $5 footlongs, now on any sandwich. I love this recession.

Pity US Subway tastes like s***. Not having BBQ sauce, for example.


I see that Quiznos failed in Australia...that's a shame. :(

I see that Quiznos failed in Australia...that's a shame. :(

I never even knew they'd tried to enter the market. Maybe they should've advertised?

They were there, at least in Melbourne - but when I visited a few weeks ago it was gone.


(and replaced by a Subway no less)

yeah there was a Quiznos in the valley trainstation foodcourt for a bit. I figured it didn't take off there because the guy working there looked like a sex offender.

one in myer center next to kfc and mcdonalds and oporto

had no chance

I see that Quiznos failed in Australia...that's a shame. :(

The head company pulled out - the two I know of in the Valley station and at Metroplex are still going but have been rebranded as Sub Boys, offering similar menu.

Can't live without my occasional Mesquite Chicken + Bacon Quiznos. I'd sure miss them if I had to go back to .au

speaking of bacon

What would you have them do if not work in KFC? Air-traffic controllers? Seems kind of risky...

I went into subway one night and ordered 2 footlongs and drinks got to the counter and oh noes the register isn't working *panic* after flailing around for a while looking for a calculator the guy just said meh don't worry about it and out I walked with free subway!

had kfc last night, them new burgers with the hash brown in them are fkn awesome!

ive been craving a tower burger since i seen the ads

I see that Quiznos failed in Australia...that's a shame. :(

I wondered what ever happened to them, assumed they went arse up. Never had one though.

Are they the joint that was saying that they toast them (before subway did this)? So then Subway brought in it's own toasting machines to compete?

And who was the genius at KFC that though adding a hashbrown to an already fat laden burger was a good idea? But I guess I do sometimes stuff chips in the Spacca's burger.

last edited by mission at 09:54:09 23/Feb/09

The same genius that invented that bowl last August? You know, with mash, gravy, popcorn chicken, corn and cheese?

ive been craving a tower burger since i seen the ads

Me too and I haven't succumbed to my urges yet (just the tower burger urge). Looking forward to catching up with my best mate on the weekend just because I know we'll be having KFC for dinner.. excellent.

mash, gravy, popcorn chicken, corn and cheese

That sounds f***ing hideous

I tried that popcorn chicken when it first came out and it tasted like complete ass. Haven't eaten KFC for a few years now. Most times when I ordered a chicken burger it had grisly bits in it so I'll never eat them again. KFC chips would be the only thing I'd buy if I ever went back.

The tower burger looks great, but the reality is nasty.

That KFC bowl thing I'd think twice before giving it to my dog.

Staright up nasty.

heh rev, the burgers are much nicer than the chicken;

i never eat kfc chicken (after seeing the state of some of it when its prepared)

the fillets (zingers in particular) are usually pretty safe;

Who the hell puts potato of any kind, let alone a hash brown, on a burger? To potato on break, Australia says no.

Also, I love that KFC is constantly trying new things. But I miss that chicken they used to have with the salt'n'vinegar flavoring - that was the best! Also, despite being against potato on bread, I think anything with a hash brown sounds awesome...

Went to Dominoes once and got some pizzas and it came to $17. Gave them $20.

The fat pimply voice-braking-every-2-words kid pulled out this massive calculator. Spent 20 seconds on it. then gave me 30c.

I asked him to try again, another 20 seconds, and i finally got my $3.

Also had one where it came to 5.35, gave her $10 and then 5 seconds later tried to give her 40c so i would get a $5 note and a 5c coin instead of a heap of coins. Spent at least 3 minutes with her trying to explain how the extra 40c meant i could have a note. Ended up giving up and getting a bunch of coins back.

I came back through Sydney International Airport this morning and had to go through the LAME Qantas domestic transfer thing. Basically you come out through customs (with all your bags) then have to lug your s*** to a different check-in desk to throw your bags in.

I got there about 45 mins before my flight and was a bit worried I wouldn't make it, but the girl at the door looked at my boarding pass and goes "oh just go this way to the express queue"... I thought "sweet I can skip the line", then walked around the way she indicated (which, incidentally, was the single longest route to the front counter, probably by a factor of 2), and got into line behind a couple people.

There was some problem with the ticket machine, but rather than move the people waiting in the EXPRESS QUEUE, who were there because their FLIGHTS WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE, the chick there spent ages f***ing around fixing the machine.. occasionally she'd look at the queue and ask someone what flight they were on and then tell them they'd missed it. While we were all standing around staring f***ing incredulously at this bitch, ALL the other queues were churning through their checkins - it would have been faster for all of us just to have lined up in the regular queue. At least 5 people in front of me missed their flights when I think they should have been able to make it if they'd actually used the Express queue the way it should have been.

I just made my flight but I would have been f***ing livid had I missed it. I have massive problems with s***tily managed queues in general but in this case it was such an embarrassing clusterf***. I normally <3 Qantas people but this chick had a serious attitude problem and was being completely unhelpful and almost rude to passengers (bearing in mind these people had just found out they were going to miss a flight, which is, IMO, a big f***ing deal).

I don't want to cast aspersions on her intelligence, but it was pretty clear that the 'express' queue was anything but and it should have been instantly corrected by moving these people into a queue that was actually getting processed.

You can join the far queue for that trog.

I can see how that was *vaguely* related to this topic, but it didn't really belong in a thread about useless subway servers?

Did anybody else read Trog's post and instantly think "Buzz Killington"?

it would have pissed me off; then again I'm the guy that has no problems telling her how to do her job

I avoid KFC and fast food chicken in general. Heard too many stories about dodgy chicken (for example, an abscess inside a chicken when someone went to bite it... f***ing hideous).

I'm with troggles, I arrived from Seoul into Sydney and had to do the f***ing piece of s*** transfer to the domestic terminal with all my s*** and I got shoved into a queue which wasn't even related to what I wanted. Somehow when I said "Hey I have to do a transfer to a domestic flight to Brisbane" meant "Oh this guy wants to transfer to another international flight".

After getting to the counter and told I was in the wrong area I had to hightail it over to the transfer area which somehow was broken so had to go back to some buses and I ended up at the domestic terminal where my flight was delayed over an hour and then another 45minutes when I got on board.

From then on if I flew into Sydney I made sure I get a connecting international flight from Syd to Brisbane so I can do the customs dance when I'm leaving airports for good instead of half way through.
