I placed an order online, as i thought that would be easier, being that I have a large family. I picked up the order, and imagine my surprise when the girl behind the counter had the audacity to ask me for a tip, stating that since i had a large order, it was customary to tip. Since when does someone tip at Subway?? The orders were fully paid for in advance, so I didn't think to bring any cash with me.
I have a large family, so I am sorry that having such a big order was difficult for her, but when you order sandwiches for parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles , cousins, and your own children as well as your spouse, the subs are going to pile up.
This left me to wonder about a few things:
A) Since when do Subway employees work for commission B) Since when is tipping required on a take out order?? I've never tipped at McDonald's , Burger King, Arby's, and or Wendy's before so why would Subway be different?
I was always told that you should never ask or demand a tip. If anything, a tip should only be given for good service. I guess this new generation doesn't quite understand the way etiquette works.
How convenient that when I called the store on my way home, I was told that the manager wasn't there.
I certainly won't be ordering from this franchise anymore and I can happily assure you that the rest of my family won't be either. read more
