So, I mentioned earlier, I was going to go to Subway for lunch. It never fails there is someone in there ordering lunch for the whole office. Apparently, they already had paid for the order..OK here;s a thought, wait until the order is ready before you pick it up...! I mean if you are calling ahead anyway, why not just arrange to pick them up at a certain time..Then of course the guy had to make them..like 6 or 8 orders..and none of them really seemed to be right according to the person picking them up,,who had to keep calling back to the office...Geez. At least there weren't a lot of people in there..normally weekday lunchtime there are a lot of people in there. Next time check on the phone wait until they are ready and then pick up...No one wants to be held up..because Barb got green peppers instead of black olives..Has this ever happened to you?

Like I said, it would have been a lot worse if there had been several people in there because often there is.

Setting it up in advance would have been so much better!

@snowy22315 It shows thoughtfulness. Taking up the line for your gigantic order is wasting people's time too.

@snowy22315 The customer service is no more what it used to be.

Yes, I bet the person picking up the order didn't like it either as she must have spent half her lunch hour trying to get the orders right.

She had them written down, but my point is have it all straight on the phone and arrange a pick up time instead of keeping all the customers waiting while the guy is making the orders.

@snowy22315 not all places do that. The subway here won't do phone orders

Being there when lunch orders are being filled is quite a pain. I always try to avoid that lunch hour rush.

Yeah, I was just glad I wasn[t working behind the counter. I would zero patience for that.

Yes, I mean they could have made sure the preparer understood the order fully and then had them make them so all the person had to do was pick it up..It would save stress on all considered.

Never had that situation happen, i would have been standing back and kind of laughing but also feeling back for the person who is ordering, because I know if it was me I would have been having a meltdown.
