You need to find a ghettoer subway. The one I go to is on North Capitol St. and they don't give a fuck about anything.

I go to Subway all the time, and if I spent more than 5 seconds trying to fish out 11 cents out of my wallet, the cashier would probably say something to the effect of "okay, nevermind, you've paid most of the bill, thanks." I've had this happen to me a couple of times.<BR/><BR/>I would totally not go back to that location.

The word "sorry" did not escape his lips once. I don't really have a problem with paying what I owe. People make mistakes all the time. But looking back, I was pissed because of the way he handled it. He just said, "Hey, gimme your card." I said why. "Cuz I didn't ring up your soup. Gimme your card again." No 'please'...no "I'm sorry for the mixup." Just, "Gimme your card." It's just crappy customer service, that's all.roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753767981335596546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-22242246159462211492007-10-11T11:27:00.000-04:002007-10-11T11:27:00.000-04:00Apples are nothing but trouble - Toby's episode wi...Apples are nothing but trouble - Toby's episode with Marvelous Market was funny, too.
