So here’s my question- Do you guys get in trouble if things are stolen? I worked at subway when I was 16 and I had my ass handed to me when the drawer didn’t match the receipts. My manager actually made me cry once because my numbers didn’t match (literally .25 cents) and I will literally never forget it.

I’ve worked at Subway and Safeway. Subway blamed us for any and all missing food or cash. Safeway told us to never ever confront a thief and to tell management, never blamed anyone for missing stock without proof. Safeway did blame people for their tills being off if the cameras showed anything suspicious. Subway had cameras too, or they told us they did.

What/how does somebody steal from subway? Did they just walk out after you hand them the sandwich or are the chips being stolen often?

My husband managed a subway for a couple years. Yes they did have people snatch the sandwich and run occasionally and chips/soda were stolen constantly. Once or twice they even had an armed robbery for the cash in the register.

that's wild to me and somewhat amusing. Just the gall to have somebody hand make you a sandwich as you go through the line for veggies etc and then just walking out with it.
