Posted 15 years agoI go into a subway in livermore, CA on 1st street, i tell the drone working the counter that i want a footlong, white bread, with only turkey, swiss, and mayo. she asks me "are you ready?" i say yep. she then proceeds to put lettuce in it AFTER hearing me say turkey, swiis, and mayo ONLY. every other person in the store (it was small), heard me raise my voice at her telling her to stop, came close to yelling. watched her take the lettuce off, and i come home, and check it, guess what? its still on my sammich! i mean reall? is it THAT hard to listen to the customer, and get the order right? i know you're working for minimum wage, and can barely speak english, but would it kill you to take the time to LEARN the primary language of the country you immigrated to?
