Subway staff aren't trained to change their gloves after handling money

Do Me Good · 22-12-2015 02:02PM #1

At least the last two times I paid attention to it anyway. Last night this foreign one said to me "What salads would you like". I said "if you could just change your gloves after handling the cash". She paused and then replied "so you want all salads?". I repeated "if you could just change your gloves after handling the cash". Then she reluctantly changed her gloves with a sour puss.

The other issues I have with the foreign staff:

Staff "You want any sauces?"
Me "Just a very small bit of ketchup"

All they hear is the word 'ketchup' and before you know it, there's a bucket load of it on your roll! One time, I tried to anticipate this mistake - I said "just a very small bit (and gestured) understand... small?". The fella beside me laughed, and she sarcastically replied "yes". She then poured on a bucket load and I shouted "whoaa whoa whoaaaah"! The fella beside me was in stitches.

Don't ever ask for Mayo....

What are cloves?

This is the worst thread I've ever read.

Do you change gloves in between handing over your money and eating the sandwich?

I thought I had it corrected in the main body too. I get my Gs and Cs mixed up.

Maybe you should learn how to spell before berating foreign staff?

But she's touching the food that everyone is eating. If that's the case, why bother using gloves at all?

Ah, if only I'd gotten that right it'd have been such a great thread!

You appear to get your C's and K's mixed up as well.

Anytime I've been in Subway, they've had a guy on the till who does the handling of money and gives you your drink and/or crisps, so never touches the sandwich.

You can get a foot long sub and a drink for 6 euro. If you want proper hygiene and food safety standards you must pay an extra euro.

I wish I could say Christmas turns people into hostile cretins OP, but a lot of them are like this year round.

Duggy747 · 22-12-2015 02:14PM

I'd agree about the changing gloves thing, I see it more often than I'd like in places.

But, OP's post is a bit on the old "Them lousy foreigners" side of things............otherwise you'd just say "staff"

Cienciano · 22-12-2015 02:15PM

OP, it's only foreign people who do this. Foreigners have smaller brains and very poor hygiene levels compared to irish people. They're also ruder.

You failed to specify that you mean non-english speaking foreigners

I'm pretty sure people would still find a way to be offended.

True. Bleedin' takin' owe-or jobs 'n' pulootin' owe-or lunch rowals. When the perfect Irish people leave I-oreland and become for-den-nores they're brains begin to die an' day fondle the oul' baby juice balls in our grubby littal hands, alternatin' between left 'n' right so we can make savage sambo rowals and snarl at customers for bein' native and havin' sope an' runnin' waaaather.

Plenty of dirty feckers named Eamonn or Niamh and the likes wouldn't be far off that. People can be manky. Doesn't matter where they're from or where they live.

The trick is to shout at them so they understand you.

No you have to say it slowly in a foreign accent and do condescending hand gestures

Granted it is probably years since an Irish person made me a sandwich but it is a real rookie mistake to ask for ketchup. A certain percentage of people of all nationalities are terrible at making sandwiches.
