Weirdest Orders Sandwich Store Employees Got


The customer is always right unfortunately, so from time to time, Subway employees have to make horrible sandwiches. Honestly, it's not the employee's job to eat it so it's no skin off most people's backs. That said, people's sandwich decisions can be memorable. For a different kind of memorable sandwich encounter, here's a Subway employee who had to tell a customer that mayo isn't vegan.

While working there I had a very polite customer, who was pregnant at the time, come in every other week or so and order the same footlong ham sandwich. What made this sandwich so strange was that she would ask for a tonne of black olives. Like MULTIPLE, whole handfuls of black olives. So much, that it was hard to close up and wrap the sandwich without some olives spilling o

Text - Some time had passed where I didn't see her come in anymore. Until one day, I see her walk in with a stroller and her brand new baby daughter. She brought her in so I could meet the "olive baby". She thanked me for all the times I made her olive sandwich just the way she liked it and then proceeded to order a ham sandwich. Only this time, she asked for just a few olives. I quit a short time after but I still think about that sandwich and the olive baby from time to time.

I explained there's no such thing, then she pulled a Karen and asked for the manager. The manager explained what we all already know. The lady got louder and pointed at a pic on her phone she took last time she ordered it. The picture was of Pico de Gallo. That, ladies and gents, was her "Avocado free guacamole." I took

There was a couple that would come in semi-regularly and she wanted just a double helping of American cheese on white bread. No veggies, no condiments. Just cheese. I never charged her for the extra cheese since I figured the veggies she wasn't getting offset it. Eventually she started asking for more and more cheese until it was easily 10x what came on it. She must have been bummed when I quit

Text - AssociationJumpy 26.2k points · 15 hours ago a 3 24 e2 & 6 More We had frozen egg disks that we were supposed to heat in the oven. I say egg, but really it was more of a frozen circle of egg whites with a yellow piece in the middle (that may or may not be missing depending on luck of the draw). This one guy would come in every shift I had and order just the egg circle, but didn't want us to heat it up. We handed him hard, frozen, disgusting looking, disks that sounded like rocks when bang

The girl ahead of us gets a breakfast sandwich with extra mayo and then says: "Ilike a serious amount of mayo, more than you think is comfortable". The guy does a solid 4 servings and she shakes her head in disgust/shame and is like "No.. I'm actually messed up, I need more mayo". Took everything in me not to laugh as it happened.

We had this guy come in that we called The Mountain. He was at least 300lbs and probably 6'5". He always came in wearing full fleece camo outfit. Anywho, his order would always be the same, which is why I remember it so well. The guy would get a footlong with the BBQ rib patty (the most disgusting thing on the menu) AND the veggie p

Text - lusiris 14.7k points · 17 hours ago I worked at a subway a long time ago and a guy would order two full bags of lettuce on his sandwich every day. Imagine 2 pounds of lettuce on some bread. He would order often enough that I knew to go in the back and grab two full bags just for him.

Someone ordered a meatball sub from Subway that had nothing on it but meatballs, the sauce, and about four times as much mayonnaise as would go on a regular sandwich. That was it. He made two orders for the same thing within two hours, and I delivered them both. Edit: He wasn't high and it wasn't a mistake. He said his sister tried it and liked it so much that they split it and

Text - Crazehness 13.4k points · 14 hours ago P 6 43 & 19 More Don't work there any more, but the one order that sticks in my mind above everything else was one time a guy came in on the phone to order two sandwiches and he explained one was for his 7 months pregnant wife so to please make it right, he has a list of exactly what she wants. So I made it exactly how it was written down, then made his and he paid and all was good in the world. Then maybe ten minutes later the phone rings and I answ

Text - So I hand the man his sandwich and answer the phone and there is this woman on the phone hysterically crying on the other end and so I ask if she's alright and she informs me that she called earlier and she felt horrible about yelling at me because she realized she wrote it down wrong and it wasn't my fault and the whole time I'm just awkwardly telling her that it's okay, no big deal we got it taken care of, you're okay don't worry about it, It's no big deal. And then she, still sobbing,

Weirdest or at least most disgusting one was this guy who would come in regularly and order a Tuna Pizza. We would literally take the tuna salad and just put a layer of it across the pizza then cover it with cheese and bake it for a few minutes. Holy shit the smell that would come off of that things was terrible. Another was guy that ordered everything on a footlong. I mean every single kind of

Text - Last, i had a guy who would basically eat all the black pepper we had in stock. The first time i saw him and we got towards the end of me making his sandwich he was like "i want you to add a lot of black pepper, like just keep on going until you think wow there's no way anyone would want this much black pepper on a sandwich, and then double that. I want you to add so much black pepper to the point that you think its going to be a health concern to actually serve this to me." And well, i'm

Text - Youpunyhumans 9.9k points · 18 hours ago At mcdonalds a guy came in and said he had lost a bet and as a result had to order a double cheeseburger with 17 extra patties and bacon and cheese between each patty. I dont remember how much it cost, but we had to tape several wrappers together just to cover it up and keep it sort of together. I think we gave him a knife and fork to eat it with.

Text - TooShiftyForYou 8.0k points · 17 hours ago & O Used to work in a deli that also made some simple breakfast items in the mornings. One day a lady ordered a western omelette, hold the eggs. I had to specify 3 times that she did not want any eggs in the omelette. We made her a salad of diced ham, onions, green bell peppers, with salsa and she seemed pleased with this.

Think Carrabas but local owned and French trained head chef. Anyway, a buss full of special needs folks and their helpers came in one day kind of in between lunch and dinner like about 2:30 ish, they all order food and are having a great time. Italian music blasting delicious homemade bread at the table, everyone's having a great time. The order comes to

Text - GentlemanGallimaufry 5.8k points · 15 hours ago Worked the night shift for Subway during college. Had a regular come in at 3am usually that would request that we toast the shit out of his sandwich. I'm talking the whole thing was basically charcoal. First time he came in while i was on shift, I pulled his sandwich out of the toaster and he told me to put it back in...and again... and again. I thought he was a drunk guy fucking with me. Apparently he really liked the taste of burnt everyth

Text - Ginger-spice 5.8k points · 16 hours ago My town had a lot of foreign exchange students from South Korea and they would always order the meatball subs with scoops of "seafood sensation" which was just mayo and imitation crab. Then have it toasted, it smelled horrible. Also had a guy that could barely talk he was so high wanted every sauce on his chicken bacon ranch, it was more soup by the end. Then he gets to the register and he remembers he doesn't have any money and walks away. My manag

Text - boogers19 4.5k points · 16 hours ago · edited 8 hours ago Quiznos. Mostly working with teens. This one kid brings in a bunch of tupperwares at the beginning of his shift. Weird, but I don't care. End of his shift (edit 3: not closing time, we had a line-up) and his mom shows up to give him a lift. He starts filling the tupperwares with chili. Turns out his mom tried it one day and loved it. Whole family tried: they all love it. They'd made a deal with our boss to buy bulk chili every week

Text - Jean_Keys 4.2k points · 15 hours ago I worked at a Burger King my junior year of high school (Not a sandwich shop, but play along). I was on specialty board (chicken and fish mainly). This order came through for an original chicken with "HHHH mayo". "H" in the training stood for heavy or extra. I asked my manager if it was a typo and they said no this guy comes in once a week for that sandwich. I swear, by the time my manager said the sandwich was "proper", the mayo was thicker than the c
