[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Arrived at Subway at 7:54 and the door was locked. They close at 8pm. [/b] One family was still seated and eating and one lady was at the counter ordering a sandwich.  I knocked on the door and pointed to my watch. The two girls behind the counter looked at me and shook their heads no.  I banged again and pointed at my watch.  Then a man walked up with 2 kids and asked me what was going on so I told him they had the door locked and were telling me they were closed even though it wasn't 8pm yet.  He looked at his phone and it said 7:55 so he knocked again and held his phone up to the door.  One of the young ladies rolled her eyes and came to the door. She opened the door and told us they were closed.  I said "but it's not 8pm" and the guy said, "c'mon I have two hungry kids here and it's not 8pm". She she huffed a little and let us come in.

They were visibly irritated as they had already put up all the containers of fixins.  I was ordering a veggie patty and the girls started discussing how the oven was already turned off, how long is it going to take to heat up, etc.  So I told them not to worry about it just heat the patty in the microwave.  I then told them I was not trying to be a pain but it was 7:55 when I arrived.  One of the girls then said that when it's slow their manager tells them to close early, that they are supposed to do that. I do not think there was a manager there at the time.

Somehow I find it hard to believe that they are to lock the door behind closing time, especially when there are people still in the dining area eating and another person at the counter ordering.  Was I wrong for insisting they let me order my sandwiches.   We told the girl off the top (both me and the man with his kids) that neither of us needed to sit down and eat there, we just wanted to get our stuff and go.[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous][b]Actually I worked in fast food my entire teenage years while in HS.  Oh and no I am not entitled, but the thought is pretty funny.[/b] Thanks for the laugh. lol  I'll give you the obnoxious comment though.  Maybe I was obnoxious in insisitng they let me in.  I dont think I was but I posed the question "was I wrong" because I am absolutley open to the possibility that I was.  Thus, I wanted other people's opinion.

[b]No I wasnt going to DIE without subway but I was pretty desparate. My son has training sessions that are 50 minutes from my house.  The sessions are from 7:30 to 10pm.  Usually I pack a dinner that he can eat on the way home since we dont get back home until 10pm. [i]I was rushing and didnt have time yesterday[/i] so I decided to stop at subway since it's close to where he trains.  So yeah, I was pretty desparate to get that subway sanchwich.    We do not eat meat so other fast food places arent an option.  [/b]

Typically I probably would have just kept it moving but because of the situation I really needed to get him a sandwich.   When we leave his training we do pass a McDonalds on the way to the highway but none of their sandwiches would work for my son.

I wish there was a chipotle where we were, he loves that much more than subway! :)

So let me get this straight.  You show up at Subway.  They close at 8, but it's 7:55 and you expect to be served.  The door is locked already.  You have TWO HOURS until you have to pick up your son, but are incapable of getting back in your car and driving some place else so you pound on the door until they admit you and demand to be served?  You've worked in fast food but clearly have forgotten how soul sucking a job it can be.  You're driving in a car, why not get back in it, drive to a supermarket and get him something else like a tin of hummus and a veggie platter or stop at a convience store like a Wawa or 7-11 and get him something there?[/quote] If you read the entire thread you will see that all of your comments and questions have been addressed.[/quote]
