The standard for tuna is 2 even scoops. It also depends on the size of the scoop.

I decide to go to subway for my lunch break. I get to the cashier and hand the clerk my card to purchase my sandwich. She swipes my card over and over but it would not go through. Barely speaking english the cashier tells me " your card no good". So she goes and get the so called manager. The so called manager comes and tries to manually input the number...

Subway halal meat

I was bitterly disappointed and upset to learn recently that Subway are using Halal slaughtered meat in many of their London restaurants (I'm not sure about their other UK stores). I used to be a regular customer at Subway but I will no longer set foot in any of their outlets and neither will my friends. The Halal method of slaughtering animals is absolutely disgraceful and cruel. Compassion in World Farming, the FAWC and many animal welfare organisations have condemned this awful way of killing animals but Subway obviously place profits before compassion. Utterly sad!

Subway never going back

I've been going to Subway since I was in High School. There staff was College Kids working part time and a few old timers that wanted some extra cash. The food was good and the service always came with a smile.

No longer is this the case. One could only guess, in order to save a few bucks, I am greeted with a glare from employees who look like they just got off the bus from Mexico and served sub-par quality food. The orders always need to be repeated at least twice (since I don't speak Spanish in America) and not so much as a hello or thank you. I get the feeling I'm invading there place and I should leave, of course after I hand them my money. I don't go there much any more and I have a real hard time justifying ever returning there.

Is cutting corners really worth it to the owners of these places. I'm sure they are seeing a profit at the end of the day since our population seems only to be growing and there's always going to be more new customers then dissatisfied, never to return old customers, but I wouldn't be surprised if eventually they only catered to Spanish speakers.

Forget you Subway. You can eat something "Fresh" my dog just dropped in my backyard. I'm never going back.

Where I went, the Subway in Northridge California, a worker wore gloves but took my money with the gloves on then only took off one glove and replaced only one glove when serving the next person. I figured they probably had been keeping that other glove on all day...

Subway terrible place

My wife and I decided to eat at a Subway sandwich shop . We purchased our meals and sat down to eat and my wife mentioned what a rip off the bags of chips were. I told her the chips had settled. She then poured her bag out on a napkin. Thats when mouse feces and matted mouse hair fell out of the bag. I went up to the employee behind the counter and quietly told her. She came out and and took our food and went to call the manager. I then asked her to give us back our food and she said hold on. She put me on the phone with the manager and I told him I wanted our food back in case my wife got sick and he refused. I told him if I didn't get the food back I would make sure that everybody in the store knew about it. Then I told him that I would call the police and the health dept instead. The manager told me to go ahead. I called the health dept. In the mean time the two employees started cleaning as fast as they could. I then called the health dept again and let them know. The health worker got there shortly and found mouse feces all over the store. The health dept then closed the store down for 3 days. The story made the local paper. Several days later the manager called me and thats when I told him that I thought my wife deserved some compensation. About 10 minutes later his extermination company called me up and started yelling at me about how him and his wife are really devout christians and that we weren"t getting any money from them. He also told me that they closed the store down voluntarily. I told him that he was not being honest with me because i was there when they were told to close down or they would close them down. he then told me mouse feces was relatively clean and that my wife should get over it and that 50 years ago people ate mouse feces in their food and it was accepted. I asked him how many mice they caught and he admitted they caught over 30 the first night. I finally hung up on him. I then called up the Subway manager and asked him why he gave out our personal information and he denied it. I told him what the exterminator had said about the situation and that if they caught 30 mice in the store that he must have known about the problem or seen mice and he again denied it and said that he was only aware of 15 mice. the company has still not even called and apologized.

Well, here's my problem with your "story."

The chips are pre-packaged at a factory and then shipped to each store. So how could the mouse feces from inside the pre-packaged chip bag have possibly come from inside the store?

This sounds like a TROLL post to me.

Subway rip-off!!

I ordered a 6 inch turkey sub, the girl pulled the bread out and cut a large portion of it off. I paid 5 dollars, with bacon, for a 5 inch snack! What a rip off I could've gotten a footlong! The workers at subway never know what the hell they are doing. The bread was hard and crusty as well. This is not quality service! what gives! Subway always rips off people, they give you one napkin and very little vegetables. I'm going to Quiznos from now on, they never did me wrong.

Wow. Some people whine so much. Don't blame the workers, blame Subway head office, as they are the ones that punished stores for putting to muc salad on sandwiches. My local store used to pile the salad on - to much some would say. However all of a sudden it changed to hardly any salad going one. We asked and found they had been reported by the evaluators for putting on to much salad. Also, workers are under much pressure to get through a line of customers as quickly as possible. This leads to confusion - especially when dumb customers don't know how to pay attension or have a serious hearing problem. So when they are forced to work so quickly, yes bread can be cut uneven or sandwiches can get mixed up. Its wrong to say ALL staff don't know what their doing. usually it only takes one staff member to ruin an entire line and muck everything up.

Subway mixing non veg with veg

hello friends
today on forcing upon by my friend i had a chance to visit subway rest.patiala. being a guru sikh and totally a vegetarian i never go to restaurants who serve both veg n non veg food stuff.but upon his insisting we a group of 8 friends went to subway at patiala as he said that they have separate sections for veg n non veg foods and they maintain very strict protocols not to mix the things up at any level i.e.from preparations of sandwiches to baking of breads in d ovens and even to the people who make d sandwiches everything is separate.But to my surprize when we were ordering, the sauces they were using were being CONTAMINATED, as the same bottles were used in both veg n non veg sections and the other level of separation was also not at all satisfactory.so i suggest all d GURU SIKHS or ARYA SAMAJIS or D BRAHMINS and last but not d least 100% PURE VEG EATERS not to have any thing from PATIALA SUBWAY new leela bhawan seeing which even we had to cancel d order for 8 of us.
yours sincerely

Agree...all veg- non-veg restaurants must be avoided by vegetarians as all the mix type rest do not have separation for food all the time satisfactory...and I must say the all food coming out of the kitchen where innocent animals are killed are non-veg...this type of rest kills our indian culture too..

Subway rude staff

Along with my sister & my cousin we decided to have a tuna sub. We asked the two staff to change their gloves as we are vegetarian. They both pulled faces and mumbled amongst themselves. They were both very rude & gave us a very poor service, other customers were in the shop also. My sister asked the staff that she would like some jelopenoes in her sub, the lady staff got a handful and just chuked it in in anger along with the other salad etc. I asked if i could have a little touch of mayonase and she squeezed a load in on purpose. We were all disgraced. It was a cold windy rainy day and when we stepped in the shop it was nice and warm, the both staff knew we were cold so they both decided to put the air conditioning on high. We were freezing whilst eating our sub. We would never go to the subway on Blackburn road ever again. When we finished eating and leaving we overheard the staff calling us 'pakis'! This incident occured on Sunday 1st November around 4.30ish.

I recently made a trip to the new subway store opened in maidenhead, i was horribly disappointed with the service and it will drastically affect the choice of me going there or somewhere else again. For starters I ordered a wrap, the lady took a long time even putting her gloves on without even asking what I wanted. She started bunging in the chicken and asking if it was going to be micro waved or not, which I had already stated I didn’t want it to be!

After this I asked for some lettuce and as I was on a diet a SMALL amount of light mayo. The lady then started squeezing the pot really hard in order to get a huge lump of mayonnaise on my wrap. I was very annoyed at this point when she started to wrap it all together really was the cherry on top of the icing.
She took each corner of the wrap and put it in the middle. It all broke up and oozed out of the side. I asked her if she was honestly going to give me it, she looked and me blankly and I asked her if she had gone through proper training. She continued to put it into its wrapper and I had to pay £3.10 for something that could be made better than my 3 year old daughter.

The subway I work at got rid of wraps a long time ago and replaced it with flat-bread. But that is how they are supposed to wrap them. She just did it too tight or not good enough. Sometimes the customers give too much information at once and if she was new she probably couldn't remember all of what you said. Why don't you let her as the question the way she's supposed to instead of you saying so before she's at that point.

Subway hygiene

the Launceston subway store in the city has very poor hygiene! I feel so sorry for the workers in that store. It is so hot in there i can't stand to eat inside, i can't begin to imagine how the workers feel standing in the same place for 2 hours serving constantly, sweating over the food. When i suggested they should go wash their faces in the bathroom to cool down the younge boy replied that they dont have a toilet or bathroom facility in the store that they can use and have be told by their manager that leaving between 12 and 2pm would slow the customer service line down and she would not allow them to do that. The heat also attracs flys. I must of counted atleast 16 flys buzzing around the sandwich unit.

It's hot because of the ovens. The oven at my store is at 350 degrees, and you wouldn't even believe me if i told you how hot the toaster oven really is. You get burned by it it takes forever to heal. Mine took almost a year to go away once. Even with the air conditioning on its extremely hot. It's pretty much unavoidable. Go to a sit down restaurant or a place that has the ovens in the back room if it bothers you so much.

Subway food delayed

Ordered food at 1pm, expected delivery time given within 40 mins. Food never arrived till 1.40pm, when called at 2pm - "oh the food din't reach. will check and get back" was the reply from SUBWAY. Nobody calls again till 2.30 :( Furious at the person taking order I call again to check my order and I get the exact same reply. I request them to resend my order as its been 1.30 mins since i placed ordered :( Net net things went on for 2.20 mins and food finally got delivered at 3.20 pm. But the worst was the manager din't even bother to come on the phone when i asked time and again. Even later he din't call to apologize for the entire delay. The MANAGER named Mr. Salim never bothered to revert, freebies was way off. WHAT KIND OF A MANAGER IS THIS WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE DELIVERIES ? DO SUCH PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE IN RETAIL ?

The MGF-Metropolitan mall subway delivery is very disorganised. They keep changing the minimum delivery amount. They have delivered to my house a number of times earlier but, sometimes they say they wont deliver below Rs.200 and sometimes they say they wont deliver below Rs.300-all for the same address which is my house that is hardly 10min away from the mall.
They rudely hung up the phone today when I placed an order worth Rs.220 today-saying that the minimum order is Rs.300. I cannot tolerate such behaviour simply over lunch. I have decided not to order from them anymore and even tell my friends about this till they start behaving. This is the most unruly and cheap behaviour I have ever seen from any good food outlet-very disappointing.
I suggest the staff should be changed immediately and action taken against just illiterate behaviour.

Subway one rude girl and one who did nothing at all

Last night at about 6:00 me and my boyfriend went into subway to get something to eat. He stoped to talk to a friend and I went up to order. There was one guy working really hard trying to get the order for the people in the drive thru, whlie two girls were in the back talking and gosiping. I stood in line for about 5 minites and they kept talking and I know they saw me. Well when they finaly came out they stocked up the food and kept talking to each other. When the tallar gil finale took my order she roold her eyes and said "What do you want." I told her what I wanted and then waited for her to toast the sub. The guy was still working really hard, but the short fat girl just stood there and stared into space. When my sub was toasted she put it onto the counter and let it se there while she rearanged the sub buns. Finaly she put the topping on I asked for half bannan peppers she put three peppers on half I asked o a few more on the sub nicely and she went and put the peppers on all of it! (Me and my boyfriend were spliting the sub and I can eat peppers) I didn't say anything payed for the sub and left. This is the third time this girl has been rude to me. I don't even know her. When we left the store the ladie that was ordering behind me came out with her sub and said if the girl had treated her like that she would have been madder than a bee.
From now on if I go into that subway and see her I am walking right back out!

Subway Very pitiful

Management often insults and mocks customers. The food here is not all that good anyway. There are better places to go. There are better deals in Townsend for a subway sandwich. I can get a buy one get one free meal. Jerks run some businesses throughout Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. Subway sandwiches hope goes out of business and better businesses soon appear. In Germany a few Subways had model Twin Tower buildings making fun of 911 with a big sub sandwich knocking into the Twin Towers. Very pitiful. Restuarant management was caught stealing and now have spy cameras on the workers.

all of the sandwiches do NOT get 8 pieces of meat. or 6 cheeses. A footlong turkey, for example, gets 6 pieces of meat. and 6 inch sandwiches get 2 slices of cheese. Foot longs get 4 slices of cheese.

That store isn't that messy and I see no picture of her talking on her phone. The only pictures of her at are at a cash register and making a sandwich. Seems to me like she's doing her job. And the one with the stuff on the floor probably happened after she got busy and she didnt have time to clean it up (seeing as how she's at the cash register with a customer). IF you're going to make such claims and put up pics try getting some when she's doing WRONG things.

Subway health issues

Every wednesday I take my kids to eat @ subway, ive never had a complaint about them. But today after picking my kids up from school we went to subway in apopka @ 2:30 pm. The lady that was preparing our 3 sandwiches coughed in her glove & without taking the gloves of &/or washing her hands she continued to work on the philly cheesesteak. That was disgusting, I just told them, I was going somewhere else to eat. I work @ a fast food place, & I have seen the emails from the health department in which it says if a fast food employee is sick they shouldn't be working. H1n1 virus is going around, I take care of my kids & myself. I think the crew in this location need to be retrained on handwashing & changing gloves. Im a general manager @ a fast food so I know the proper steps that need to be taken, & these procedures were not followed in this restaurant. I am sorry to say you have lost me as a customer, family of 4 & I usually stop by for lunch with my boss when we want to get away from our food. Guaranteed, I will never stop there again & I will let everyone know what occured there today, not to hurt anyone but for health issues.

Alot of companys give little hours for cheap insurance. In Oregon it is illegal for an employee to work for 2 hours and not get paid for 4 hours (which subway does alot)

Aside from the age thing, I've been in a similar situation. The person that trained me had only been working there for 2 weeks and hadn't really been trained either. I worked with that person for maybe 8 hours before I was scheduled to work by myself. I was only given 6 hours a week. I figured things out on my own, and eventually was promoted to manager.
I was also afraid to go to management about another employee, so I had someone I knew call and pretend to be a customer that overheard one of the many inappropriate discussions she would have in the back area. She quit when she was confronted about it.
And I don't think it's age discrimination to hire someone older to close a store when federal law prohibits minors from working after certain times.

Subway unlawful firing

Was fired due to the manager and her shift manager making up lies about my conduct at work. The major reason for it was me creating tension at work with all the other employee's. The other reason was my manager telling everyone else that i was stealing money and adding slander to my name. She has fired many other people because of minor occurances that happen naturally on the work place. She fires them cause she creates a dislike for them and then they dissappear. The biggest concern for this is that because of how subway works, She doesn't have anyone to answer to for her conduct. I got along with all the other employee's great, but i had a dislike for her shift manage who was 17 and made all the other employees know she was above them.

Subway hair in food

I bought a sub at subway and found a few hairs stuck to the bottom of the bread and in the sandwich. One of the sandwich makers had very long hair in a loose ponytail and she was turning around fast all the time flinging her hair everywhere. No one was wearing hair nets. I went to complain and they didn't do anything to fix the problem.

Fast food and restaurants in general employ staff that just don't care and think everyone owes them something. They are just plain nasty. If you restaurant folks want to change your image then stop taking out your disgruntled attitude on paying customers. Quit.

I have complained about Subway at the website. You should go there and submit your comment with a phone number. A franchise rep will call you back.

THere is a place to officially make complaints. There's a corporate number on the napkins. Subways don't have to wear hair nets. It's not all the subway's fault if this one girl can't put her hair up properly.

I agree that this company apparently doesn't care at all about what happens with their customers. Ther'es also apparently not a place to really file a legitimate complaint. I'm pasting below, the text of an email I submitted to them and there has been NO change and NO response. Please email me at muse4youze@yahoo.com with any comments/suggestions. The substance of the email follows:
I'm appalled at my recent ATTEMPT to visit this Subway. Firstly, I’m an M.S. patient. I don't drive & walking is a task for me anymore. I recently moved to my present address, was happy there was a Subway in reasonable walking distance. I follow a special diet and my frequently visiting nephews do the same. I’ve preferred Subway for its healthy alternatives to the local locales. That was until last evening. I gathered my nephews and took the half mile walk, in the dark, down to Subway. We arrived at the restaurant at approximately 9:00 p.m. The restaurant, which SUPPOSEDLY closes at 10:00 p.m., was locked, with two employees inside, looking dead at us. I tried the door three times. They just looked and snickered. I took my nephews to a Jack in the Box just steps away and called the subway, concerned about the matter. The call is recorded on my call phone at 9:05, the last one at 9:19 p.m. I asked the respondent what time the restaurant closed. He audibly laughed, stating "10:00 o'clock". Asked why the door is locked, he laughed and said, in Spanish, which I speak, to someone, "it's that guy that was here, I think". He then said they were open. I told him that I was only a few yards away and my 2 nephews & I were just there. There was silence & some unintelligible Spanish exchanges & laughter on the other end, then, "uh, no. We open. We close at 10". Asked why noone opened the door for us, there was more silence. I finally hung up. Please know that I am the type that goes into a restaurant and if it's busy, I know that some things aren't to be "perfect". I don't make a habit of complaining. However, my very hungry nephews and I made a very difficult trek with my health, well after dark and well within the store's business schedule. I walk with walker and cane assistance, making two very perilous street crosses to get to this restaurant. I’ve its locale since moving to Escondido and spent numerous dollars there. With all my/our visits there, I've refrained from registering complaints about such things as the incredible effort just to get enough napkins or have the iced tea replenished. These are regular items, as I visit the restaurant once a day, sometimes more. However, to make this difficult walk, with two hungry children expecting a meal, then to be literally laughed at and lied to, is more than I can tolerate. I guarantee that i will no longer visit this restaurant. I’m beyond appalled. I’ll sooner return to eating outisde my dietary needs than return to Subway. If anyone would like proof of this interaction/event, I know the employees are prepared to deny the incident. I will tell you that the phone call is recorded on my phone and I will keep it there, in the event that it can serve to inform your business further. Thank you. Most respectfully, Steve RXXXXXXXX.

Subway is normally a great place to grab a quick, healthy bite..but I strongly recommend you stay away from this particular location. My husband and I recently purchased two $5 foot long subs, totaling $10.83. The incompetent employee for some reason or another typed in $108.33 and now we have to dispute the charge. We didn't even notice she didn't give u...
