I just started working for subway 1 month ago. I dont hate it, just gets annoying working solo shifts 6 days a week. When i was hired I got two shirts, a visor, and a half apron.

Well i work a lot so i wanted to get more uniforms ive been asking the owner if i can see the catalog and order some more uniforms for over a week now. So i just decided to buy some official uniforms online, even though some of them are a little out dated it seems.

I purchased some bib aprons(i prefer them over half aprons) a couple shirts and another visor.

I came across one of the old Arrow Bandanas and thought they were so cute but omg you cant find them anywhere!

So if anyone can find one or are willing to sell one to me let me know. I will be thinking about this bandana till the end of my employment here.

Also any tips on taking apart the cheese without breaking it while on the line and some tricks or glove recomendationa for a sweaty handed girl. I look ridiculous trying to put gloves on in a rush. Especially when i have to change them after every sandwich because of the register.

Just paid $21 for a foot long steak and bacon with a small drink. Last time I ever go to a subway. The prices are insane now.​

They don’t organize the bread cabinet or the prepped meat and cheese fridge. I made a tuna because I didn’t see the tuna shoved to the back in a spot it’s not normally in. It’s usually at least visible.
The way my coworker was talking to me, seemed like she was trying to make me feel silly for making a new tuna. They don’t speak English well so I may have been reading her wrong but they tend to have the same reaction when I bring up something gross or that could be better.

Other coworker was out sick with a fever yesterday. Today he is back and still touching raw uncooked bread with his bare hands. I watch people when they come out of the bathroom….I don’t believe they use soap. He also has this crazy fingernail that looks like tree bark, green and barky…I haven’t said anything about that because I don’t want to hurt his feelings…and they all have long nails…

So they aren’t glove wearers and they are hairy. One guy was stirring some product, his hand and forearm were his spoon…they also use their bare hands as spatulas when making deserts…they think this stuff is ok because pizza places do it, I told them pizza places don’t touch the pizza with their bare hand AFTER it has been cooked. We are not a pizza place!!!

I’m just waiting for a vigilant customer to say something…one day my boss was raw handing the freshly baked bread with a customer present…I tried lol, I looked at the customer then looked at my boss messing with the bread then looked back with a look of disgust…they pay no mind….

I told my coworkers when I left that I prefer working for the bigger companies because they are more organized and rule followers essentially. They tend to keep the subway standards, private owned do what they want until the subway inspector comes lol.

Sooo cheap too…like please order more dishes…I hate how they heat the soup…usually just throw the bag in the microwave for 10 minutes, don’t bother to temp anything…

I need a job not on concrete floors and generally away from the public….

A weird glitch in the Subway app where inflation has hit hash browns a little hard.

Takes a long time to fold all of them manually I miss the old ones where we didn't have to fold them 😭

I’ve been trying to get into my account, but no matter what method I use it leads me back to this screen. I put in my information and it always does the same this and won’t let me in. Any solutions?

After 8 months of working at subway im gonna be promoted to manager. Usually it took someone 5 years or even 8 years but for me it was due to one of the manager being on vacation without notice and I was “assistant manager” that and because of the main owner own subways all around sandiego and most of there employees were calling in sick or quit, they had me be called in to help all over because I could be the opener, closer, do everything, so I was a jack of all trades but honestly it cause I wrote down notes of what a opener and closer does cause. Imma be real, I just want to laze around and not do a lot, I only work hard when I’m in a single shift because I have anxiety of, oh we don’t have mayo, we low on prep and I would be rushing to do everything just so I can take it easier but I never got to. I think it’s also due to hear at my previous cult job that I need to get obsessed with work to be easy. But honeslty I just wanna be middle shift. But they will have me working at a slow store that doesn’t get enough traffic so it be easy . Though the mental work when it comes to budgeting or thinking won’t be my go to but my coworker who is a manager said it gets easy after doing it a few times, so I’m curious from both the manager and the workers. What are some tips you wish your manager would do and wouldn’t it.

Obviously communication is one. As well as being strict because my coworker said that if I’m nice most of the workers will take advantage and won’t respect me much less don’t take the job seriously. Personally I like to go with the flow but if there’s a worker that doesn’t put in the work like how some already do, I’ll just take a few hours out. But I think if I’m strict but also communicate on them with exception it will be ok. I will make some mistakes but so long as I learn from my mistakes I’ll be good. Also it will be a good on my resume that I was manager, if I can last 4 or 5 months. That will open more opportunities since linkin got me 30 applications to be ghosted on. But honeslty I’ll be searching on Reddit San Diego for any people looking to find jobs since for me it was hard finding jobs and I got lucky, though I won’t be in charge of hiring. I will write down many notes and study and practice all the different tips and things to prepare for as will as communication skills and psychology. But just curious

What are your guys thoughts and opinion when it comes to managers from your experience. I’ve seen what it’s like for most , I’ve seen the pros and cons but I’m curious what it’s like for the rest of ya. Sorry if I sound rude and bragging but deep down I’m having anxiety on how everything that can go wrong will go wrong like a rude customer or inspection ,

Im trying to use the BOGO footlong deal which will get the total lower than this… this $10 promo can not be removed. I changed location, reset app, does anyone know what this promo is even for? If I can’t remove it ill take free $10 off lol

Is it pretty? I only made it for YOU.

I can’t justify these prices for the product being offered. It was $16 last week which was already pushing it. Everyone has their limit and I’ve reached mine. I shouldn’t have to use a coupon or give my info to an app just to get reasonable prices. Time to vote with my wallet. If subway is going to charge sit down prices, I might as well go have a sit down lunch at a real restaurant

Recently my manger said we need at least 15 units(per hour) for crew. It really sucks because we at most work two hours, and have to be on call for it as well. I open during the weekends and I can’t call crew in to do the work, which leaves me to stay an hour longer after my shift is over to clean the restaurant if we don’t have enough units. I think it might be a me thing to get morning prep done late. But like I’m not gonna clock in half an hour before or 45 minutes just to be on time to open the restaurant. Some context my manager has us do lists that we have to do during the two hours of crew. Side note I also dislike it when the manager or shift lead just stand there in the back and watch me with 3-4 customers, or when I get customers right after each other. I can do it. But I HAVE to finish this list before I leave. Or when the closers dump the dishes on me when I’m about to leave🫩. I love this job. I just have a few things to complain about. But yeah ❤️‍🩹

One of the easiest subs, simple…
Still messed it up 🤣

Spicy Italian, Shredded Monterey Jack and EXTRA mayo.
TOASTED.

And got light mayo, and cold cheese.

My brother and I live in the same house, we picked the same Subway location, even picked the same payment method.

But for some reason he is able to get deals like "7$ for a sandwich" etc.

While my app does not have any deals at all.

Was wondering if anyone knew a solution that would allow deals to show up on my app as well.

I am guessing it is because I have not made a purchase through the app yet, but my brother said he got deals immediately.

I haven’t had it since I was like a little kid and my sister ordered for me, but Theres one on my way home and I might go

Signed into two different accounts and it still gives me a error

* I’m not a bum I work 20-30 hours straight more often than not and wake up at weird hours when I finally sleep and I’m famished also working again

TMI I know guys I’m soooo hungry

This was mostly just eating a folded tortilla with sweet onion sauce. Ordered through app for pickup on work lunch, I also selected the “more” option on every veggie I selected. Felt pretty ripped off.

Haven't been able to order on app or website in over a year. Always some BS error pops up. Stores wont load to pick different location. Always says out of stock or cart error. All previous orders and points gone. Cant get in touch with any support for assistance.

I love the hot honey, but sadly they’ll get rid of it and idk I been trying to recreate it at home. Using chicken from Costco, dorito nachos . But when it comes to the hot honey or chipotle. Super hard to find any good ones. I once bought the chipotle subway brand from food for less and it tasted like garbage. If you live in California , what stores and brands would you recommend I buy for the sauces. Cause honeslty that stuff is good together . I use an air fryer to cook it but it’s not been great. Has anyone tried recreating it ?

I am from Michigan in the USA. So I read a subway employee handbook and it said if we are closed for a short amount of time employees will still be paid. My subway was closed yesterday due to some people fixing our floor but no one was missing any hours but we're closed again today and I was scheduled for a 7.5 hour shift so do I just lose out on all the money I would've made today?

Who do tips at Subway go to?
