Which is hilarious, because its not as if they pay enough people to be on shift at the same time so that they could make their menu items efficiently. The last 2 dozen times I've had to pick up someone's order from one of 5 or so local Subway's, they have had 1 single person running the entire joint. I've made it a point to ask every time I go:

  • -how many people are supposed to be working today?

1, and about half of them opened alone, and all were closing alone! (Even young women!!!!!)

  • -Is it always this busy? (Every time its a 12-30min wait for them to even begin the order)

Always gets met with some form of "Yes, or even busier, with the occasional half hour where nobody comes in"

  • -Are you the manager?

Nope.

Its at that point I tell them to take all the time they need. And that they are dramatically underpaid and should riot.....

So not defending them, but the franchise owners were royally fucked by subway corporate. Lead on with a cheap buy in, be your own boss, make money, etc. subway takes advantage of it's franchises more than almost anyone else around. Things like requiring all food comes from corporate, no changes, even allowing rivaling franchises to open up next to you.

Sounds a lot like the management fuckery that caused Quiznos to collapse

I know, I saw it, and I don't envy franchisers who've fallen victim to it. But passing along the fuckery to an employee is so. not. ok.
