Ex-Subway Employee Goes Viral For Sharing This Cursed Subway Sandwich Story
As everyone probably knows, tastes differ. Especially when it comes to food. Someone likes gourmet haute cuisine, and someone is really crazy about such a simple and native mac and cheese. How many people – so many opinions.
But sometimes there are completely extreme cases that actually stagger the imagination so much that they remain in the memory of witnesses for years, and sometimes for their lives. Even if this witness was working at Subway at the time, which means they saw thousands of various orders.
For example, like Twitter user Garlic, who started a whole thread about strange orders, talking about the most unusual sandwich she had ever seen in her entire life. The initial tweet became extremely popular, gaining over 146.8K likes and nearly 18.8K retweets.

So, the Original Poster, in her early twenties, worked at Subway. The OP admits that she has seen a lot of strange orders, but the very sandwich that the story will be about continues to appear in her nightmares.

A group of high school-aged kids walked into the cafe, and one girl ordered a sandwich with ranch dressing
It was at the very beginning of the evening shift, around 5 or 6 PM. A whole group of high school-aged kids walk into the cafe, and OP comes out to serve one of the girls. She asks for the biggest baguette, with double provolone and double American cheese. No vegetables or sauces… wait, no… ranch, please.

So the OP starts pouring the sauce over the sandwich. Once, twice… the client is silent, showing with her whole appearance: “Just go on!” The sauce begins to drip a little from the edges, but the girl remains completely unperturbed.

When the sauce bottle was almost empty, the girl just asked for another bottle
As the sandwich was almost hidden under the copious mass of ranch, OP felt like she was running out of sauce in her bottle. The girl encouraged her: “Do you have another bottle?” In dismay, the author of the post turned her gaze to the manager, but he acted in direct accordance with the principle “The customer is always right.”

The girl finally sat at her table and began to eat that monstrous sandwich
At the beginning of the second bottle, when the sandwich itself was no longer visible, the girl finally stopped. She didn’t ask for salt or pepper, and the OP packed this monster with great difficulty. The girl thanked her, and then, joining her friends at the table, began to calmly absorb it.

The most striking thing, as the OP admits, is that during all this time, the girl was absolutely calm, did not smile, did not show any embarrassment, and generally behaved as if such sandwiches were completely ordinary for her. But the OP herself, as we have already said, over the following years, more than once recalled this really strange case.

People in the comments recalled a lot of weird orders – one was even from Matthew McConaughey
We must say that people in the comments immediately began to recall the strangest cases from their own memory. For example, one of the commenters’ 13-year-old son once asked for a chocolate chip bagel with salmon cream cheese – and not only asked, but even ate it with apparent pleasure! And another customer once ordered a Subway with cookies, but with a side of dijon mustard for dipping the cookies.

By the way, it turns out that not only ordinary people but also celebrities are subject to such food oddities. For example, one of the commenters, who also worked at Subway at one time, recalled that once, back in 2006, Matthew McConaughey came to them and ordered the Tuna – but toasted. The smell, in the end, was completely unbearable, but the famous actor quite liked it…

I worked at a pizza place with a soup and salad bar. People would take the soup bowls and fill them with ranch, and eat it with a spoon, like a soup. Saw a guy with a straw in his bowl of ranch. Ranch people are addicts!
I would get a bowl of ranch, but for dipping my pizza in it. I guess my habit hasn’t reached straw level yet lol

I ordered a BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato) sandwich at Subway for a work function. They delivered a bacon sandwich because I didnt ask for lettuce and tomato. Um, its in the name of the sandwich? Still bitter 25 years later, LMAO.
I can't go to Subway because of an experience like that. I looked at the pictures and ordered "Sandwich". She asked what I wanted on it. I, confused by them not knowing what was on their own sandwiches, asked what came on it. She asked what I wanted on it. This did not help my confusion. We went around for about 5 minutes before I told her to forget it and went somewhere else. Now I feel panicked about even going into a Subway.

You know those Japanese steak houses that cook in front of you? I used to work at one a loooong time ago and they had a white mayo-based sauce (some call it yum yum sauce) that a guy once used to turn his food into a literal soup. He kept asking the chef for more and more until you couldn't even see what was on his plate. Then he mixed it all up with a soup spoon like a total madman, sauce spilling over the edges of the plate. Much like the Subway girl, my mind often drifts to that image randomly, making me shudder...not only did it look gross, but it was probably the most unhealthy meal anyone could ever eat. Yuck!
When my son was 2, until about 5 years old. He would only want to dip his fish sticks in chocolate pudding. Once had the babysitter call to ask if it was ok, because he told her we let him do it. Told her as along as the food is going into the right hole, all good.
There was this sub place called Big Dom's when I was a kid and it was so good. I used to get a roast beef sub with extra extra thousand island dressing. Not like the girl in this story, but I know I got the side eye one time when I told them 'more than that' while they were making it. I don't know what it was about their sub and dressing that made it so damned good, but it was. Never ate a sub like that at any other place. I think they put crack in their dressing or something.
I thought it was bad when I saw someone order a ham and cheese, dry, no veggies on white. I thought "Who pays $5 for a sandwich like that?" I want mine so hard to close because it has so many veggies on it.
Me, it's me... and microwaved not toasted. Now, I have t eaten subway in yearsssssss, but as a teen, that was my go to order. Now, Jersey Mikes..... that just hits you right in the soul it's so good.

This is what I assume subway workers are saying when they get my order, veggie on Italian with american cheese, olives, jalapeños and salt/pepper. I know its weird but I like it.
it's nowhere near as weird as that ranch and cheese sandwich. at least it isn't so difficult to make.

I got very weird looks from the Costa barista when I asked for a chocolate chip mint frostino (basically a milk shake) with a shot of espresso! I still have it but I ask for it separately and pour the espresso over the frostino in the privacy of the car as I can't deal with judgement 😅
On an ill-conceived hiking trip, we got lost without much food or water and ended up on the wrong trail that led us miles away from the vehicle which had our supplies. We ended up sleeping out in the open and made our way to the car the next morning. When I finally made it back to the car, thirsty and quite hungry, I grabbed the easiest thing I could get my hands on, a tuna sandwich and a jar of lingonberry jam and went to town. At the time I was surprised at how good the combination tasted. I had trouble replicating the experience at home, I'm not sure it works without at least mild starvation.
I put apple in the tuna salad at the restaurant i work and everyone loves it that way. Got it from a fellow chef. The sweet and tart with tuna definitely works.

When I was in college, my go-to Subway sandwich was a pizza sub with mucho extra pickles. My friends thought I was crazy.
The only thing that could make this worse would be the girl taking a straw and slurping up the excess ranch. 🤢
I worked for a brief time at a gourmet cookie shop---think Mrs. Field's, only more expensive, and even better cookies (if that's even possible)---and more than once had customers ask such silly questions as "Can you put more chocolate chunks into the cookie and rebake it, please?" No. No, I could not do that! The dough came to the store premade, and we just scooped it out and baked it. We were told we were not to ever alter the original dough in any way, period, no matter who asked. One of the tests of new employees, which we didn't know about until after we'd been tested, was for one of the owners to come in and demand an altered cookie. They'd be more and more demanding, arguing that they, as the "customer," had the 'right' to have the cookies any way they wanted them. Worked there for two months, then left for better things.
I was obsessed with KFC Golden dip sauce. That stuff was addictive! I worked ať mcds next to them so one time my manager went There to get food for his lunch And they knew my desire so well, the workers ať KFC gave him a pak of chicken nuggets And the biggest box for mashed potatoes they had, it was FILLED with their golden dip sauce. Seriously, I screamed THANK YOU And ate it all
I had a work friend who stopped for bagels on the way to work once get me an onion bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It was awful(yes I took a bite). I asked why she would pick that combo for me and she said she knew I liked onions and strawberries. I said, yeah but not together. She said the kid who helped her did look at her weird when she ordered it.
I like onions on my sandwich, and I'm well aware I like more than the employee would normally put on--but I also don't go all the way in the other direction and ask for so many onions that I can't see/taste the rest of the sandwich. Having said that, WRT OP's story and all the original comments, so what? She paid for it, she ate it, she didn't complain, so I'm unclear why OP allegedly "had nightmares" about it afterwards. If you're not the one eating the ranch-soaked sandwich, STFU, make it, give it to her, get your money, move on to the next customer. Simple.
Yea but why is this girl not dead if drinks ranch sandwiches

kudos to the OP for being patient with her! i would've lost it and just asked why tf she wanted so much ranch, then directed her to the closest grocery store so she could buy a bottle. i do not have the patience to put up with people like that and i truly admire those who do.
