I had a very disappointing experience at a Subway location during a recent visit with my wife and young daughter.
From the moment we walked in, there was no greeting or acknowledgment. One of the employees, an older male worker, avoided eye contact and did not engage with us, even when we were clearly ready to order. I had to step in and say, “We’re ready to order,” just to get service started.
Things only went downhill from there. While ordering, I requested additional vegetables (green peppers and black olives) on my sandwich. The employee added an extremely minimal amount, only a few pieces, and when I politely asked for more, he repeatedly added just one or two pieces at a time. When I asked again, I was told he could not add more due to “policy.”
I then clearly stated I was willing to pay extra for additional toppings. Despite this, I was given conflicting responses and unnecessary resistance. I was even told I would need to be charged for a footlong instead of a 6-inch, which I agreed to, yet the employee still refused to accommodate the request.
At that point, another older female employee stepped in and began speaking to him in another language in front of me, which felt unprofessional and dismissive in the middle of a customer interaction. Eventually, I was told they would call the police and have me trespassed, despite the fact that I was simply trying to place and pay for my order.
I’ve been a loyal customer for many years and have ordered this exact type of sandwich at multiple locations without ever encountering this kind of issue. This experience stood out as unnecessarily difficult, poorly handled, and lacking basic customer service.
I will be reaching out to both the franchise owner and corporate to address this. Customers should be treated with respect, communicated with clearly, and not made to feel like they are doing something wrong for simply trying to order and pay for their food.
This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had.
