I posted a few years ago about how much old people at Subway annoy me. The elderly just don't seem to get Subway and how it works there, and keep other customers waiting while asking such questions as 'What do you have?', 'What's in a meatball sub?' and 'Do you have vegemite?' among many, many others.

Today I had the misfortune of being one of quite a number of people stuck behind an elderly couple at Subway. The wife after watching the attendant carrying her sub to the toaster, putting it into the aforementioned toaster and toasting it, decided when the sub was fully toasted and ready for salad the decided that she didn't want it toasted after all, wasting food and time while another sub was prepared. When the second sub was prepared, she went through nearly every type of sauce and the properties of each with the long suffering attendant, before deciding that Chipotle and Sweet Onion were perfect dressings for a Pizza Sub. Chipotle and sweet onion sauce on deli meats - yuck.

Then when the husband paid for his and his wife's lunch the stupid old fool stood in the line blocking everyone's access to the cash register, slowly counting out his change into his wallet, organizing the two subs, serviettes and cookies in a paper bag and adjusting his belongings in a second bag, before finally getting out of everyone's way.

Subway isn't rocket science and has been in Australia for years now, why is it so hard for the elderly to follow common-sense there?
 
Foxtel software upgrade getting rid of the option to sort episodes A-Z by title. It was the only way to find the duplicates of series-linked kids shows that account for 90% of my iQ storage.

Netflix. Stan. Prime. Foxtel Now/Play/Go/wateva. Kayo.
I have gf’s netflix account. Foxtel im getting $45 off per month (paying $55) after i threatened to cancel. I did free trial of stan when i wanted to see a show and bonged it.
So for $55 i have netflix and foxtel and an iq4 harddrive and all channels on one system and remote.
Wouldnt pay full price. But for my current deal its too good to give away.plus kayo is 15-25 seconds delayed. Can have big moments spoiled.

Had this happen to me a few days ago but the bloke was about 40~, he was ordering 2 subs and kept picking his salads 1 at a time.

I get chipotle sauce with my pizza subs so sue me.
 
Subway droids seem, through no fault of their own, to be under instructions to load up every sub with as much shredded lettuce as possible and be as stingy with everything else as they can get away with. I will quite brazenly go through the list of salads that I want and if I feel they haven't put enough on, ask for the same ingredient again. And its amazing how two out of three automatically stick the tongs in lettuce to start with, even though I have zero intention of having any. I do this in as efficient a manner as possible so as to cause no delay to anyone who might be behind me.

But if I see a tosser giving me impatient looks I'll make sure I count my change carefully and arrange everything so that the sub stays intact in the bag before moving away from the counter.

But not with sweet onion sauce I imagine?

If an ibis was scavenging in a bin and it found the remainder of a sub on which chipotle and sweet onion sauce had been applied, it would probably dive deeper into the dumpster and try and find something more appetizing to eat.
 
Never been into Subway before.
But plan on going there today and will linger at counter for as long as I damn well like and enjoy the Millennial rage like a boss.
Dont forget to talk about the good old days with the cashier
 
For the first time in about 8 years I walked into a Subway last week. It's in the middle of Cannes and they weren't busy. I was the only one in line so I had a good 5 minutes to familiarise myself with the menu (it's basically the same as Oz). Another 2 or 3 minutes went by... The sandwich maker is putting stuff in and out of their little oven yet no-one has seen to me... to even acknowledge I'm there.

All up I spent maybe 9 minutes waiting when there was no queue ahead of me and I walked out. I half expected to hear a comment as I walked out but absolutely nothing.

IIRC I had a croissant for dinner that day. I dont expect good service in a subway, but when theres noone in front of me I shouldn't be waiting ten minutes for someone to take a sandwich order.
 
Whilst searching for the exact change that I'm sure I have in one my pockets.
None of that tap & go crap for me.
Nosirreee.

Discuss the nickel you got and that morning you decided to get up and make a piece of toast
 
Geez I hope nothing bad happens to those protesters on Sydney Rd blocking traffic and turning a small drive across Melbourne's northern suburbs into an hour long commute. That would be awful.
