    Posted: 22 March 2005 at 10:56pm
Recently quit my job at subway and probably one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. My manager was the worst supervisor ever. I never got a schedual, and I had been working there for two months! I asked him for one almost ever time I would work and he would never give me a straight answer. He would call me in to work anywhere from an hour to 10 minutes in advance, which is completely rediculous, so I told him if he wanted me to keep doing that he would have to give me a raise for being on-call or I would quit. Since I can be easily replaced by some kid who thinks subway is the easiest job in the world, I chose to quit and could never be happier. Sure, I don't get any more money, but it wasn't worth getting 7.00 an hour while being the "on call" guy for 3 subway stores. Just had to say that to someone.

you should have knocked everything off the counter as you quit to add to the dramatic effect

minimum wage is going up soon to 7.00. and i got 7.00 because i was always on time for work and wearing my uniform. if i messed up once i'd get 6.75.

also on an off note, my supervisor lets employees have a 10 minute break every 6 hours of work. I went through all of my reciepts that say the total time i worked. almost all of them came up as follows:

5.5 hours
5.8 hours
5.6 hours
5.9 hours
5.5 hours

he had me working just under 6 hours so technically i couldn't take a break

hes basically the Mr. Krabs of subway

LMAO  

Min wage better not go up to $7.00 an hour.  Do you know what that would do the the price of everything else?!?!?!   blah never quite and make a big scene.  your going to have to tell every new job you get about the old job you had.  It will mess things up in the future if you do that.  Just give the nice 2 week notice and keep doing a great job.  Thats the only way to ensure he'll give a good report to your next boss when you try and get hired.

A-5 RT$380
Double Trigger$29.95
Flatline$149.95
16in All American$75
WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200
ETC = $1026.75
Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS

Exactly.  2 Weeks notice is only for if the boss is a friend of the family, or you dont want to burn up any bridges.

I almost quit on the spot last night, I was pretty pissed.
The story goes: payday was today, my check was missing an entire shift, that's 3 unpaid shifts in the last month. (On my check to make up for this, there may be a few hours, to pay for my uh, pain and suffering.)
My spring break vacation request (made 2 weeks in advance, per rules) was cut from the 4 days like I asked, down to 2 days. 2 DAYS.

I GUESS that was understandable, barely.

The rest of the story goes: I have to take a dump, so I turn off my light and let a manager know where I'm going. Mid-dump, I hear "Tyler to Register 2 please." I was like... what the hell. So I finish up, and hurry back to my register, because I figure we have a rush of people.
Everyone ELSE doesn't have a rush of people, but some ass lined people up at my register. These people look angry, mostly because they've been waiting the better part of 5 minutes.

I told my manager: "If you ever do that again, I'm quitting."
