[QUOTE=Del91;39311181]The correct answer is free sandwiches. Free sandwiches for everyone.[/QUOTE] Apparently the 12-inch test is that the bread must be the same length as the Subway Brand Deli-Paper as the Deli-Paper is 12 inches long. And if a loaf is short, it can still be used for a 6-inch, a kid's sub or if no options are available, tossed.
[QUOTE=Kinversulath;39311168]Shift over. Things were fairly quiet and I brought home some leftover soup and underbaked cookies. Lo and behold, there was a note explaining to us what the "12-inch test" was and how to respond should corporate call inquiring about it. Apparently our opener's response to "What should you do with a loaf that is too short" was "I dunno" Bravo.[/QUOTE] Ouch, wrong move. I was told this morning by my boss how to do it. If the bread is too short, you cut it into a six inch and one kids meal length, then chuck the rest. The test is stupid, though. The deli paper alone is enough to see whether the bread is long enough. To need to get those annoying choppers for the stupid chopped salad (dumbest idea ever, Subway) to "help" is retarded. It's like they're blaming the franchises for they're screw up with the bread dough.

I lol'd at a herbs & cheese kids meal
Wait, using the choppers for help? The note didn't say shit about that. Then again, I basically never use them. Suggestive selling be damned.
[QUOTE=Kinversulath;39311272]Wait, using the choppers for help? The note didn't say shit about that. Then again, I basically never use them. Suggestive selling be damned.[/QUOTE] I was told by my boss, who was woken up by a phone call from the inspector on how to properly do it this morning. We set the bread on the deli paper and stand a chopper at each end of the paper, perfectly. If the bread is even a 16th of an inch away from the chopper, it's "non compliance", which I think is kind of bullshit.
I'm asking for 11 inch subs for now on.
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;39311303]I'm asking for 11 inch subs for now on.[/QUOTE] A lot of people ask for six foot subs :v: Their mind says six inches, their stomach says footlong and their mouth ends up mixing them together, haha
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;39311331]A lot of people ask for six foot subs :v: Their mind says six inches, their stomach says footlong and their mouth ends up mixing them together, haha[/QUOTE] A friend told me that a woman came in one time and asked for a foot of bread with nothing but mayo.
You guys make me wanna work at Subway, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;39311531]You guys make me wanna work at Subway, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.[/QUOTE] Depends on the Subway probably the actual sandwich making bit seems like a good gig but the people you work with would make all the difference here
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;39311460]A friend told me that a woman came in one time and asked for a foot of bread with nothing but mayo.[/QUOTE] I work in a mall. There are mall rats. One mall rat, a few months ago, thought it was a brilliant idea to order a foot long sub with nothing but every sauce we have on it. Easiest $5 my shop ever made, I think :v: [editline]22nd January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;39311531]You guys make me wanna work at Subway, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.[/QUOTE] Working at Subway is really fricken easy. It's the coworkers that has driven me away from a couple of them. But be warned, Subway isn't just making subs. My shop has a big turnover rate with employees because people get hired thinking, "Yeah, I'm gonna make subs and do nothing else because that's all Subway does!" when that's not he case. 90% of working at Subway is cleaning the place of filth and prepping food for the next run of customers. The place has to be perfectly spotless and there has to be fresh food ready for every customer. All of it is easy, but very tedious at times (especially refilling the sauce bottles, the most hated task by everyone). And that drives a lot of people away after working there a week or two.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;39311531]You guys make me wanna work at Subway, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.[/QUOTE] Dont. Unless you actually need a job. Really though, its your coworkers are what makes a job great. I have a whole album on FB dedicated to shit we do "off the record" (my managers OK'd it)
[QUOTE=Fort83;39311636]For those that work at subway, is it true you have reminders attached to the sneeze-protector incase you have a brain fart and forget the order of making a sub?[/QUOTE] yes I don't work at subway but I have seen them. I used to date a girl who worked at a Subway, and I would always fuck about while she closed the place down. I know too much about subway now. Also, this thread title should have been a Bill and Ted reference.
[QUOTE=Fort83;39311636]For those that work at subway, is it true you have reminders attached to the sneeze-protector incase you have a brain fart and forget the order of making a sub?[/QUOTE] Yes, but those are more for new people who don't know how to make subs yet. It's been years since I last really looked at them.

I never use the chopper unless im cutting a CCT into a 6" potion. The bread test is bullshit. Proof your bread right and you'll be good
This shit is silly really. I get a footlong cold-cut every Friday for supper. I've never stopped to measure it. I applied at that subway Subway, once, my Aunt was the Manager, didn't get the job, proceeded to get hired at the A&W right across the hall.
[QUOTE=areolop;39311663]Fuck that. I never use the chopper unless im cutting a CCT into a 6" potion. The bread test is bullshit. Proof your bread right and you'll be good[/QUOTE] Exactly my thoughts. My boss told me, "I don't care if you don't do the test, but do it when the inspector comes". I really hate the beginning of each month, having to play by the rules and everything instead of doing things common sense.
This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside talking about working at Subway with other people who work at Subway :v: [editline]22nd January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Fort83;39311684]Where was this, as far fetched as it may be it sounds like my local mall. Subway with an A&W right across the hall.[/QUOTE] They're across from my shop in the mall too. Perhaps it's standard? haha
[QUOTE=Fort83;39311636]For those that work at subway, is it true you have reminders attached to the sneeze-protector incase you have a brain fart and forget the order of making a sub?[/QUOTE] Hell yes. Only the new people use them cause they're dumb
[QUOTE=Fort83;39311684]Where was this, as far fetched as it may be it sounds like my local mall. Subway with an A&W right across the hall.[/QUOTE] Eastern Canada.

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;39311714]subway is delicious ham and turkey on italian bread master race[/QUOTE] really. You came to a thread and expected us to be wowed by [I]that[/I] Try this: nuke the buffalo separate from the bread. On bread put PJ cheese, onions, GP, and BP. Heavy dose of Orageno too. Put nuked meat on bread toast. Dress with olives and ranch. [editline]21st January 2013[/editline] PS dont request this. They'll hate you

This just got really weird because it could maybe be the same person...? Or maybe it's just a common thing who knows.

[QUOTE=areolop;39311754]Also: [quote]That bread is under-baked, and it looks like the entire sub had sat for some length of time before taking the photo.[/quote][/QUOTE] Yeah seriously, the sandwich in OP's picture looks fucking nasty.
Im the OP there... show some love for me!
I can't believe that no-one has mentioned the title of the thread yet...
[QUOTE=areolop;39311782]Im the OP there... show some love for me![/QUOTE] Thanks for making me delicious as fuck sandwiches
I fuckin' love JJ's, but sometimes subway is better.
For anyone in the job market: DO NOT put your Fiancé down as a reference. Instant no-job.
