I am just fine with my sandwiches or burritos being made how I want them. It can be a pain in the ass, however, if I get several people in front of me with fussy orders.

It is the fussy orders at McDonalds that piss me off.

I want - Uhhhhh. Uhhhhh. Uhhhhh. (Every McD's in the country has the same menu, and you have ordered dozens of times in the last three months. Get on with it.)

Uhhhhh, okay, I want a Big Mac. But leave out the middle bread. And no pickles. Extra guava.

We don't have guava.

Wha? No guava? I had guava last time.

No guava.

Okay, then - uhhhhh - extra sauce.

Anything else, sir.

No. Well, a coke.

Is that all?

Can you take the sesame seeds off the bun?

I don't want to have to stand in a line and explain to someone how to make my sandwich. they should know how to do it. I'm not picky and don't have allergies or a specific 'condition' I like good old Italian subs or a club .... I've mentioned to the manager of a Subway more than once they need one item on their menu called... "leave it to us" and you just say that one and they make it for you, no questions asked.

The reason I'm 'ranting' about this is we have a local resterant here in my town that does a booming business selling Greek and Mid-eastern food... they make it fast and sell it pretty cheap... now in a new shopping center near me is a new semi-local chain that has opened up and sells pretty much the same thing... my wife wants to go try it out... so we walk in... guess what? You have to stand at the counter and walk down with the employee on the other side and tell them what you want on your plate..... food was good but I don't want to have to do this.... given me a #3 is all I want to have to say....


Wait? Am I confused? Before I flame you I want to make sure I'm not confused.

Did you really just say that the sandwich jockey's shoult "just know" how you like it insead of you standing in line and actually ordering what you want???

If so, that's the goddamn dumbest thing I've read here in a long time.

If I've missed something, then I apologize and please correct me.

Yes... it is this line that seems absurd to me... Am i on my own on this one?

The OP needs a fucking Genie to make his sandwich?

I wouldn't say they should know how to make "my" sandwich - BUT - I SHOULD be able to go to a store and say "I want an italian sub" or "I want a beef burrito" and not have to explain how to make it. Like at Firehouse, or (god forbid) Taco Bell, or Arbys or McDonalds. I just ask for the sandwich by name or by number and they make it without asking me 20 questions.

I agree with the original poster... it's a cheap sandwich shop... they should know how to make it, if you want different then tell them but standing in line having to explain everything is just not my way. Now many mom and pop sandwich shops delis have gone this way... when I order an Italian sub and they start asking how I want it my response is "you don't know how to make an Italian Sub?" I've suggested to more than one Subway manager that they need two items on the menu.... both you just say that's want you want and they don't ask anymore questions...
And as for fast food burger places... I had a guy who worked for me that always had to order his hamburger special... and over half the time they got it wrong... he'd order it... two bottom buns katsoup only and then when he got it he'd have to examine the damn thing and cut it open to make sure there was no pink inside the paddy and then usually send it back... ruined many a meal for me.... but then hell.. who am I... I eat raw beef on occasion.

I know what I want and it doesn't take much effort to say it. If speaking is such an effort for you I suggest you just don't go to Subway.

Here's what grinds my ass. I go to Subway and tell them I want a blah, blah, blah on a certain kind of bread. They then say do you want it toasted. "No." Then as they start with the veggies they ask "What would you like on it?"
I answer "Everything." Next comes "do you want spinach, olives and jalapenos?". Now what part of "everything" do they not understand? Isn't spinach, olives and jalapenos a sub set of "everything"? It never fails. My wife tells me to not get upset because some folks don't want spinach, olives and jalapenos. right! then why would they say "everything?" It just gives me the red ass.

Sounds like my wife.

"I want McDonalds." We get to the drive thru and I ask her what she wants. She says she has to look at the menu... Roll Eyes

Because people are stupid, that's why. They say everything and when the worker proceeds to literally put everything on (veggies & condiments), the person ordering goes, "oh, I meant no cucumbers" like the sandwich maker can read minds.
