Feel free to move this if this is in the wrong forum. I figured since it has to do with working in a job it would be alright here.

For nearly 6 years I worked at the fast food hell hole known as Subway. I decided to make a video using the xtranormal program highlighting how obnoxious a lot of Subway customers act. I am happy to say that I am finally out of there and am now making a living by being a freelance artist.

Here's the video. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXseSWXOsN4&feature=youtu.be[/youtube]

Can you post the link to it please? I can't see embedded videos anymore since my daughter updated the computer.

THAT is why I am extra-kind to subway workers.
And - You don't take bills larger than $20.

I was just at Subway today. The whole thing was packed, and there were only two workers manning both the drive through and the dining room. They kept apologizing for being so slow, but I didn't mind. I would be slow too if I were in that situation.

I never eat there. The smell from outside - like at McDonald's - is enough to put me off.

Best decision you could ever make. I never understood how some customers would come in and say how good it smelled inside our store. Burnt chemicals and yeast. That stuff stuck to our clothes and would make us reek all day outside of work unless we showered. It literally sinks into your pores.

Do Subways in the US differ much from those in the UK?

I honestly wouldn't know. They might offer a few different selections between the two but other than that I think they are basically about the same.

As an aside, has anyone been to Jimmy Johns? Those guys are rocket fast. I once timed them and It took less then 30 sec from walking in to walking out with a sub. they live up to their motto "Subs so fast you'll freak."

I worked at subway when I was 16. It wasn't so bad because I was on night shift 11pm to 7am in a red light district so I had lots of strange funny customers but it was never busy.

I was high functioning as a teen. I know I could never do it now.

Your video is really good. I worked in customer service for a while, not at Subway, but some of the things happened to me too.
