The Last 20 Days
August 8

My first day off in a week and a half.

Since I will have 3 days off (including today) before I leave, I will put one topic for each. Today I think will be random tips.

Random Tips for Subway/food customers:

-Don’t piss off the employee. They can do things to your food while you aren’t looking.

-Honestly, staring at the person making your food while they are finishing cutting it in half and moving it onto the wrapping paper is ridiculous. Do you expect them to fuck it up somehow? Stop watching and go to the damn cash register.

-Pointing/tapping on the glass to what you want on your food does the person making the food no good. You could be pointing to at least 3 different things for all we know. Use your words.

-If you happen to be in a large line-up of people, it would be nice if you knew what you wanted to order BEFORE you got into line, or at least decided before it was your turn to order.

-Not everyone knows how much each individual thing is with tax, especially not if you ask for multiple things and ask how much the total cost will be. Really. Would you walk into Wal-Mart and pick up five different items and say to someone on the floor, “Quick. How much is all of this, tax included?” No, it doesn’t work like that.

-If the person making your food burns themselves making your food, it would be nice if you gave them a moment to run their burned body part (usually hands) under cold water before returning to the food. Just saying. It’d be nice.

-Remember that it is your own fault if you say you want something, and then change your mind. Don’t blame the employee if you say you want one thing, then decide on another after the fact.
