Red Rooster workers. It's your time to shine. Confess your sins in the replies. Keep them short and sweet for a better chance of making it in. ALSO, I'm in Katoomba next week with my live show: www.friendlyjordies.com/live-show
On my first shift at a Red Rooster in Western Sydney, I saw my manager drop a tub of chicken nuggets on the floor then proceeded to pick them up one by one with his bare hands, throw em into the tub, looked me dead in the eye and said "Theyll be good for today. 10 second rule". That same day, I saw one of the cookers drop in that same tub into the fryer. I spent the day telling the 3 customers that actually came in not to order the nuggets. I got fired the next day. Editors Note: Channel 9 is always there because the rumours of Money Laundering is true
My cousin worked at red rooster and would gloat to us that he would see how long he could leave the chicken nuggets sitting in the warmer all day and still serve them without any complaints. They were meant to be thrown out after 2 hours. Once they were sitting there for his entire 8 hour shift and the people he served them to still didn't complain and they actually came back for more. Edit: he's 40 and a drug dealer and addict now
Served at the rooster as my first job when I was 15. A few of us got chemical burns on our hands from the fucked chepo cleaning agents our manager (who we called the Big Rooster) bought to save a little bit of coin. Worst of all was the stench of the cheese sauce and cheese patty (a deep fried block of cheese sick) used in the triple cheeseburger promo that still haunts my nostrils. You could tell by looking at the person who just walked in if they were about to order one. Quite a particular demographic.
damn can’t believe i missed this one. we used to play secret jalapeño, which is kinda like the penis game where you shout penis incrementally louder except you hide incremental amounts of jalapeños until some one complains. someone had an allergic reaction and my 16 year old ass had to go to court explaining why there’s security footage of us very intentionally stashing jalapeños under cucumbers. we also used to haze new staff by playing the jalapeño challenge, which is where you make some pimple faced 14 year old eat a whole cambro of compressed jalapeños in 5 minutes, and you get a choccy milk as a reward. worked as an assistant manager during covid for 9.66 an hour, good times
Too be fair, I'm surprised someone is allergic enough to have a reaction to jalapenos specifically. I would've thought that a harmless joke as well at that age.
25ish years ago, several friends of mine used to work at the local subway. They were all the employees. They found out the only inventory they took was the number of bread rolls, and the boxes of large bags of ingredients. They also found out that the camera wasn't being recorded to anything, it just allowed the person in the office to monitor the employees. I could pay for a 6" and get a sandwhich with as much, of anything, I wanted on it. Eventually we started taking 10lbs bags of meatballs, cold cuts, sliced vegetables, etc. when everyone was poor college students, or recently moved out, on their own. Then, one day, my closest friend, my cousin, and I, walked in, and saw that one of the glass doored, branded, soda fridges, was empty. Friend working said it had just had maintenance, and had to be restocked, but they didn't feel like it. So I pulled my truck up to the parking spot in front of the side door. We then went in, took the fridge, loaded in my truck, and took it home. I had that pepsi fridge for nearly 20 years.
If you were a true subway connoisseur like me, you'd know the bread is completely different in every country. Subway bread in Japan is by far the worst.
I used to be a red rooster worker One day, I think around lunchtime, this one customer screamed out. TBH I thought it was your typical crackhead doing their thing; however, it was an elderly lady, and she collapsed to the floor. Turns out she was having a heart attack in the store, obviously we were in a panic and I was told to get something to elevate her head. So I went to the shop next door and got some blankets as they where a clothing shop. Eventually the ambulance came and put a defib on her and rushed her to hospital. Later, the husband phoned the store and told us that she had unfortunately passed away. What made me feel a bit uneasy was that after this exchange happened, we went back to serving customers and acting like nothing happened. I know it’s a business and they needed to make money, but we just witnessed someone's death and now they wanted me to go back to making flavour wraps for customers, it didn't really feel right to me. But now I can safely save that the food at Red Rooster really does kill.
I've never been into red rooster and never known anyone that does. What's it like? I've always wondered how they stay in business cause they just sort of exist near actual fast food places and you never see any advertising for them at all.
reminds me of the time my coffee shop got broken into overnight, like broken glass everywhere, and we still had to serve a line of people who were just walking around this continuously evolving crime scene.
yeh. thats normal. do you think they should have shut the store down and then the next morning have a minute's silence? Perhaps they need a memorial out the front in a rock garden to "The Unknown Old Bag" LMAO! "A lovely old bag who spent her last moments with a bunch of blithering teens who wouldn't know their ass hole from their breakfast let alone how to do basic first aid to save the Old Bags life" ROFL now. I can just picture the little shits now. "I dont want to kiss her" "Eww, she's old" Well, just remember that when you are clutching your chest in pain as a bunch of kids run around not knowing what to do. meanwhile, for you, everything fades to black and then you have Deja Vu, remembering how this is just like when you were a kid. KARMA BABY!!!! (She's real).
I worked at subway for a month. In that time the owner had me change the date on the meats and cheese 12 times. I documented everything, called the health department and then quit. Greedy bastards couldn’t care less if they made people sick. Edit: and for the dumba$$ in the comments. The health department shut the place down. No hero’s necessary. It’s what happens when a company blatantly disregard even the most basic food safety and handling methods.
@@TM-ft5po , It was all bad. Are you subways PR team? Have you ever eaten months old lunch meat? It’s slimy and smells awful and will make you sick. This is a subway stories thread. I shared my story. You can Fk right off. I can’t stand pieces of 💩 like yourself.
Oh dang it, I missed my chance to say the stuff I had to put up with when I worked at subway, (the cursed sandwiches, bugs in food, people shotgunning beers out of view
Funnily enough of the *minimal* training I got, they were putting heavy emphasis on not putting a knife in a sandwich, so maybe that’s not as rare an occurrence. (In fact, they wanted me to come in and do the actual training I was supposed to do weeks prior to working there on my own time, (unpaid ofc) and just check everything saying I understood it (likely as a way of covering their ass if I got hurt so they could claim I was properly trained to use the equipment and it was my own fault)
Mate of mine got food poisoning from red rooter in Tamworth. He'd ordered some undercooked shit, which he ate, then set off for home in QLD. He got somewhere near Moree before pulling over and calling an ambo to pick him up. He'd shit himself that thoroughly he had to toss his shorts and jocks and used a towel as a makeshift nappy to keep the flow at bay. He'd spewed all over his dash too.
I worked as a "sandwich artist" in a shopping centre subway in a rough area that also happened to be next to a retirement village. believe me, I would rather deal with the regular guy we called "meatball meth head" than a single pensioner. It was my second day on the job and I somehow was left alone out the front while the person supervising me went on a smoke break. An elderly customer came up and asked if we did coffee, I almost laughed but saw the button for coffee on the till and turned around and to my horror, on the back bench I saw a coffee machine and cups. I looked at it then back to her and said "No." Pointed across the food court to a Muffinbreak and said "they do though." thank god she left me alone and I didn't trigger a karen attack. When my supervisor came back I asked to be shown how to use the machine.... worse mistake of my life. The next day my supervisor disappeared like some kind of ghost who was waiting to have some poor soul take his place before he could pass on. We had such a high turn over rate that some how after a month I ended up becoming the go to person to train the new employee and one of the only people on staff who learnt to use the coffee machine, not even the manager knew how. Did you know Subway does coffee? I didn't, no one I talk to knows but somehow The pensioners know. And with their pension card can get a cookie and coffee for like $2, and get pretty much any menu item 25% off. Every Thursday (pension payment day) there would be an army of irrate pensioners, deaf, confused by menu options, ramming each other with walkers, demanding discounts, asking for insane request, and of course making coffee orders that made me question if they should actually be allowed out of the village without a nurse. Once had a senior ask for 9 sugars in a black coffee, also asked for it to be half strength and extra hot. yeah meatball meth head threatened to stab me, but at least he didn't ask to me froth a black coffee with a steamer in lunch rush and call me "Angel-baby" and "my Favourite sandwich maid". Moral of the story, weaponise your incompetence. and side note every senior's favourite go to is the 6 inch seafood sensation (lablle on the packet the "meat" comes in out the back litterally say "Crab flavoured chunks") W
I love how companies give elaborate titles for mundane jobs. "Sandwhich Artists" used to be called "Kitchen Hands" or "Kitchen Laborers" In 10 to 20 years they'll get bored with "Sandwhich Artists" and probably will think "Kitchen Hand" sounds more elaborate and Flashy and go back to calling yall that. No offense to anyone who works as a "Sandwich Artist" But I have failed to see the art in those particular sandwiches. The real art is in the broody, rude, and victimized demeanor of the kids who work there. NOW THATS ART! It must take years to mold them into that. Im not saying there is no one that could not be artful with food. of course, they can. I would be a moron to think otherwise. But watching those muppets throw stuff into sliced bread just doesn't register as art for me any more than randomly throwing food onto the carpet and calling it a "Pro Hart" :P (an artist who should have worked at Sub Way). There is no imagination required by the so-called "Sandwich Artist" In my opinion, the bare minimum to meet the criteria of "Art" is to have used or required even just a small amount of imagination. None is required for Subway. The "Sandwich Artists" Are either reading from a menu/recipe or they are following your Instructions, right? NO ART!!! If they were inventing new sandwiches on the fly and using some thought and imagination, and each one was a unique blend then one could maybe, just maybe call it art. Perhaps the next name improvement for Subway Workers will be "SANDWHICH SCIENTIST" or "SANDWHICH ENGINEER" I type in all caps sometimes because I think Trump looks so cool when he does it. In fact "Sandwich Engineer" makes far more sense than "Sandwich Artist"
@@JasonBlack66 I agree, but whats even funnier is the our training is to complete these moduels by watching videos and completing quizzes online on a platform called Subway university. I have saddly, achieved official certificates 1, 2 and 3 in 'Sandwich Artistry.' I guess they would have to change it to a degree if it was called 'sandwich engineering.'
I worked at a Subway in rural Minnesota. I wanted a cookie that we ran out of so i took a frozen cookie dough chunk and put it in the sandwich toaster to cook it quick before i clocked out. The cookie immediately caught fire and almost took the toaster with it. The cookies are meant to be baked slowly it would seem.
Was this in the town of Willmar? If so was it back in like 2015? If so I think we worked together lmao cause I remember that and a big fight between a coworker and customers to.
@Sithis211 eyyyy Minnesota! Na this was in Fergus Falls, but I wouldn't be surprised if another bored "sandwich artist" has had a similar stroke of genius.
Subway is the meal for when you know you aren't going to be healthy in the diet or mental sense, but you've already eaten dirty bird and halal snack packs 5 times that week and your body is screaming for some vegetables that aren't potatoes.
I thought I was the only one! I would take my jacket and a chair and camp out there for like 20 minutes at a time 😅 the white chocolate one's were the best
somehow i never even thought of this during my few years at subway. i had tried every single possible combination of food (except seafood and tuna cause yuck) including the good old subway pizza on a wrap. i prefer my biscuits cooked though, but just enough to melt them so theyre molten goo. thats when id swipe mine.
Worked for Subway for exactly two weeks. Saw a colleague drop an open tub of meatballs on the soapy, sudsy floor - pick up the spilled ones without a glove, stick them back in the tub, and take them out to be served. Moved on right quick after that.
I had a massive crush on a girl who worked at subway. She wrote me notes and I'd put incredibly dumb things in my order notes. Never asked her out because of how wholesome what we had was. Her coworkers gave me her address and phone number when I asked what happened when she quit, but she was already in a relationship and I'm no homewrecker. Super weird of them to give me all her info without even asking.
WAIT! The manager who took the cucumber!! I think I know her!!! I was working at a store. The ops manager walks in. Says "why aren't you wearing your aprin? If you forgot yours, I have a spare one in my bag" I go to grab an aprin her handbag, I notice there's a single large cucumber 🥒 Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!
TH-cam didn't want me to ask if she was h=t (really??!?! instadeleted comment if I say that word now apparently) so I knew whether to be d=sg==ted or ar=us=d.
1:05 Former Subway employee, I swear to god those cookies taste better raw. If you work there now, take some out and let them thaw for a bit, they're really good
I worked at a mcdonalds across the street from the subway. There was a 2 month time period where every couple fridays we would see police lights and get a visit asking if we had seen any suspicious people. Apperently it turns out one of the workers at the subway was helping someone rob themselves and it happened like 4 times.
ive got a story for you a bit over a year ago I worked at a smaller pizza chain with about 3 stores in my area, i was only 16 and the place had very strict managers. I worked with a younger kid around 14, and one day it was just the two of us in the store when I noticed some mold in a small bin of cheese, and because of how the managers were we had to call them to report it. so I call the manager and they tell me to "just pick it out," I hung up and told the kid what she said then went in the back for a sec and when I returned I saw the kid picking through it with his barehands. I just grabbed the cheese and throw it, and about 10 minutes later the manager came into the store and began yelling at me for throwing out the cheese, before I walked out in full uniform and didnt come back. also I was told that the manager attempted to scoop the cheese back out of the bin before giving up
American here. I have a story for you about Cousins subs. My actual cousin worked in a Cousins Sub in St. Louis, Missouri. She lost her job when the store had to close down due to health concerns. She was friends with some of the workers and they used to hang out after work. Later, it was determined that an outbreak of syphilis was traced back to the shop. Two of her friends admitted to having sex on the counters were the subs were made. He had syphilis and it got into the lettuce. My cousin quickly got some new friends and hasn't worked in fast food since.
They manage the restaurant for permanent residency, then they can also hire staff to fill specific roles for permanent residency. A lot of hospitality roles come under the umbrella of jobs you can be sponsored for. I only know this because I have an employee who is a great bloke we want to sponsor but cant find anyway to actually do it which is unfortunate.
@@TM-ft5po That’s not what he is saying at all. He is saying that hospitality is an industry that is easy to get sponsored in because it sucks so much that no one wants to do it. Whereas people with more productive and useful skills, have a hard time.
@@tonedowne there is something to be said that I can’t sponsor an intelligent driven person with a good head on him and who loves being here - but if I owned a pizza shop I could sponsor 50 delivery drivers who are the grown equivalent of a 16 year old boy with half the English skills. (Okay maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic but you get the point)
I was once in Subway and the bloke in front of me got inappropriately angry at the server for some minor problem. She was holding back from crying as she served me. I talked to her and cheered her up, she ended up smiling and relaxed by the time I left. Never get up retail workers, because this is the crap they deal with. A grown man making a high school girl cry because of how she made a sandwich. Pathetic.
Worked at subway for like 2 months. Can confirm: cheese was tricky to separate. Was paid $12 an hour as a "training rate" the whole time I worked there. Bonus was that I got to take home like 10 strawberry milks that were about to go out of date one day to share with the lads. So wasn't all that bad I guess...
ive been working at red rooster for over a year now. throughout my clucky crusade i have witnessed large quantities of slugs that appear out of the walls when the floors are cleaned, and the occasional cockroach appear from behind one of the microwaves.
You guys should do a VCE/HSC exam horror stories video. There are some golden stories about that on Reddit and the like, plus it's happening at the moment.
Where I used to work had a really old Red Rooster across the street that had been there probably since the early days. I liked that when approaching the store via the side parking lot the only footpath took you right past their bags of trash and staff entry door which was basically just an old screen door and you could always see in to all the clutter and mess inside. One day I shit you not I walked in to the store on a work break on a busy Wednesday arvy to no customers or staff in the store, and after calling out to someone and getting no response, I decided to try the staff door down the side. I found it wide open and no one was in the kitchen, no one called out when I tried to see if anyone was there, and when I went to turn around I saw there was a dead rat with a crushed head at the base of the screen door where it meets the wall. This RR was on the far south end of the Goldy near the airport, but it closed a few years ago, so.. IYKYK Did a mean roast chicken gravy roal tho
I used to eat the tuna subs here in the states, until I finally got struck with the worst episode of stomach and intestinal distress of my life. Covered in sweat, vomiting colors beyond the colors on the rainbow, and feeling my insides become a brown hole of pain was an experience I never want to have again. I spoke to my dead ancestors as I felt every ounce of my being burning like I was in hellfire. Jesus told me I fucked up as I heaved and convulsed. Buddha was there telling me to accept the fate and karma of my lot. Somewhere Carl Sagan was extolling the insignificance of man on the pale blue dot as I nearly blacked out. I started having flashbacks to memories I thought lost while I lost feeling in my legs and my right arm went numb. An hour went by in what felt like days and seconds all at the same time. I could taste blood in my mouth, and I heard the songs of demons in my ears in a cacophony of vile screaming and the sounds of thunderous colonic expulsions. I felt bad for that 7-11 bathroom after I left, but being drenched in sweat and looking like I had died, I did buy a Gatorade and left the store chugging it along with some cheap water like I'd been stuck in the desert for days. Disoriented I got on the wrong bus, and ended up taking an extra hour to get home. I couldn't get the taste of that sandwich out of my mouth for what felt like days, brushing teeth, chugging mouthwash, and flossing until my gums bled did nothing. Still didn't go to a hospital after that because I couldn't afford it. Took some fish antibiotics I had for my fish at the time for about a week to be sure I'd be okay, and carried on never returning to Subway again. Overall a regular experience with the tuna foot longs here in the states, 2/10.
Me and my coworker where on drive thru one night training a new staff member. When a car pulls up and my coworker says "Brisbane Sperm Donors you Jack it We Pack it" through the drive-thru speaker while the new staff member was about to take their order
Apparently, you're not allowed to take Subway sandwiches onboard commercial flights with Jetstar due to incidents of sandwiches falling apart on the foldout tables.
The tuna and meatball sub sounds bad until you realize in the UK the Spud guys baked potato guys most popular order is Tuna with Baked Beans and Cheese.
Had a drunk dude walk into red rooster before closing. We had about a 10 minute argument because he wanted a whopper. He eventually realized we were not hungry jacks and left
I worked at Red Rooster in the late 2000s and I have a few stories. When we cleaned the floors they were a bit slippery so we would push off benches and slide around, I accidentally pushed my heel through a wall and thousands of cockroach’s poured out of the wall. Because there were a bunch of minors working there without tax file numbers the manager was able to hide a couple of ghost employees on the books and he would pay himself when someone called in and he had to actually do work. On several occasions I got asked to stay back to cover people but I had to clock out and I was paid cash at the end of the shift. This is when I found out the manager was cooking one load of chickens in the morning and keeping them in the hot box all day. And at the end of the day we take those chickens out to let them cool and then strip them and mix the stuffing with mayo to make rooster rolls. Which can be kept for 7 days in the coolroom, so naturally with first in first out you’re always getting 6-7 day old subs. That place is now a post office.
Damnit i worked at Subway for 5 years and missed this! Sometimes we wouldn't throw the bread away and leave it for the next morning. People hadn't been rotating it so sometimes i found bread with mould on it. Also, I found a metal ring from the peocessing plant still through a packet of ham. A colleague found a cow's tooth in the meatball bag. The people who were rude to me got a jalapeno (if they didn't order anyway) hidden in their sub
Red Rooster exposed me to probably the most heinous stench humanly possible. We played the game I like to call - soccer mould. Whilst cleaning the store on a quiet afternoon, we found an old tub filled with water, oil and almost the entire red rooster menu. What we also found… was a plate sized disk of mould, which we tipped onto the drain in the back and proceeded to kick around and stomp it down the drain for the next 15 minutes. It was only after someone gloved up, got on their hands and knees and squashed the disk down the drain were we free from the smell. This drain was below the chicken prep area btw
Red Rooda horror story. friend's first job was there. the floor was an ice skating ring, he fell onto one of the skewers they use for the chicken and skewered his arm. upwards. up the arm, not through it. :( now I need to doordash me some. (chicken, not arm) XD
Here are just a few of my treasure trove of Subway stories. One day I was decided to go sweep the dry storage room. I figured it had been a while so I wanted to make sure to get under the racks keeping the food off the ground. As I shoved the broom into the back corner, I bumped something. I figured it was an onion that someone had dropped, no big deal. I go in again and it was indeed an onion but it had been down there for so long, that it had sprouted out the top. We planted it and kept it growing in the store for a while. We had one guy come in every few months and he always ordered the same thing. A footlong on white bread, double american cheese, and extra mayo. That was it. He looked like the sandwich. Our store was once robbed in the middle of the night. They broke theough the front door, took the cash in the till and tried to lift the safe, realized it was too heavy, and left. The safe was not locked due to laziness. Also, the thing about eating raw cookies out of the freezer is 100% accurate. Those dough balls are incredible.
i was a red rooster employee in a small rural town. It was very eventful so here's a rapid fire recount of funny instances In the store any form of hygiene was non existed, for the food and staff. there were instances of customers shitting in urinals (this really happened more than once) . Chicken soccer with a whole raw chicken just being booted around the floor wasn't uncommon. a crackhead losing his shit over his order taking too long to come so he just pissed on the floor. drugs were a common theme, a long time employee of like 6 years was fired when he was caught selling mdma and weed in the drive through. One time the manager pissed in the mop bucket that was then used to mop the whole place.
so i worked at subway for a few months. i was ringing up a customers order and it, by chance, came to $19.45. My mouth went ahead of my brain and i said, "$19.45- bad year to be a German."
One time our cool room (the one with all the raw chicken in it) broke and so instead of shutting the store and waiting for the repair guy, the owners just cranked the AC. Saw people taking cooked chicken out of the oven and putting it on a counter with raw chicken juice. A lot of stores would transfer raw chickens to other nearby stores in a random employee’s unrefrigerated car boot. My mate’s manager would wipe the excess salt off the chip scoop on the side of the bin and then put it straight back in the chip hopper.
I owe my undying thanks to a subway worker, a long time ago at the end of a sizeable night on the piss I strolled into this fine establishment. In front of me stood a small ranga man with what can only be described as the aftermath of an impact crater in the middle of his fore head after he popped a massive pimple. I mean he really had at this thing, I said to him ‘Hey mate what happened, it looks like you’ve been taken out by a sniper’ to which he replied ‘Huhh?’ So I repeated my apt observation of the weeping remains of the m&m sized hole in his dome. He then replied with a underwhelming headbutt taking me by surprise ‘Did you just head butt me you little shit?’ Before anything else could happen the guy behind the counter leap into action yelling ‘YOU! Get the fuck out now!’ Physically ejecting this gremlin back into the abyss he crawled from (The Mackay CBD) and asked me if I was ok. Totally unscathed he gave me some napkins to clean the disgusting mess he left on my face and went back to performing gods work. 10/10 customer service, toasted foot long steak and cheese with bacon on Italian herb and all the fruit.
friend of mine worked in the subway of my hometown. Mayo is the most popular sauce, so it needs to be refilled the most often. Thing is they didn't empty and clean the container in between refills because it emptied so quickly. Inevitably a bunch of people got food poisoning from eating there one day (one was a pregnant lady) and there was a big online backlash against the restaurant. That lasted about a week. People went right back to eating there almost immediately. There was two other sub/pizza spots on the same st, one literally next door.
I worked at subway as a teen, not long after starting they got new knives to cut bread open (I didn’t know they were new) and sliced into the bread expecting a bit of resistance BUT NO sliced straight through my thumb Manager was defs a heroin addict And if people asked for xr jalapeños they got extra 😉 ( as many as I could shove on) The chicken strips / teriyaki chicken comes in a bag that when you open smells like farts
I love the seafood mix would come in these large boxes (with half a dozen or so smaller boxes inside) on the outside of the large box in large black print was the phrase “Fit for human consumption” any food that has to declare that is questionable at best
6:07 I love the thought of raging alcoholics just being defined as mischievous. Those little scamps stumble into the night to pull pranks and cause mischief like mythological trickster creatures.
Never worked at Red Rooster but somebody please explain (ploise exploin) how tf RR is still in business? Who's brave enough to come out and say what we're all thinking: It's surely a massive front like Los Polo Hermanos from Breaking Bad. I've never seen a RR 'popping off' during my 29 years of existence. Yet they always remain open and even recently are opening new stores. Somebody step up and fucking enlighten us, please.
Old red rooster worker here, before the store was taken over by a franchise owner, the chip holder was 60% covered in old grease, took about 6 months of constant cleaning to fully remove
yeah, I have no idea how they're still in business. I don't even know what they sell. Like, I assume chicken, but they don't advertise. They could secretly be the best fast food place and I would have no idea cause nobody goes there.
One thing that absolutely blew my mind was the amount of people that order tuna. My family establishment was near a business park and the sheer number of grown ass men in suits ordering a raw untoasted tuna sub with nothing but extra mayo was insane.
I have worked there for 5 years now. They don’t give us 10 minute breaks on long shifts. They like to over work us. They under pay us and they LOVE to cut corners and try keep running costs low by putting on all juniors with one senior on. All in all just never work there and don’t eat there.
Funnily enough, I actually have a Subway story, though as a customer instead of an employee. I was coming home from work and stopped by a Subway next to my house. The guy is front of me was getting his sandwich made until he asked for Mayo. The guy at the counter said "Sorry, we're out of mayo tonight." Kinda sucked for me cause I liked Mayo, but things proceeded as normal for a bit. That was until it came time for the man to pay. He then yelled, "Fuck you and your rude ass! How dare you be rude to me!" or something along those lines before storming out. He didn't even take his fucking sandwich, a Plain Turkey on Italian Bread. I have no idea what made this man so mad. I guess the mayo comment flipped a switch or something. Bear in mind that directly across the street from this subway was a Grocery Store that absolutely had mayo. Anyway, I joked about it with the guy at the counter, and ended up getting the guy's sandwich. So, fuck him, I guess :)
I work at subway, i can confirm that someone did wrap the knife in the sub because it is now on the training courses to NOT do it, it was labelled "this is unfortunately a real photograph"
Heres my Red Rooster story. One time, my managers way over ordered the raw fried chicken. It all went off and turned green in the fridge and had to be thrown out. Turns out at this time the management had not been paying for the dumpster to be emptied and there was no room. I was told to put the chicken in garbage bags (it filled 3 or so bags) and leave it in the back room until the dumpster was emptied. It wasn't emptied for a week, we filled that ENTIRE room with old garbage with this chicken literally rotting in the bottom, it stunk up the ENTIRE back of the store with the smell of dead corpses for a week. Miserable place to work.
A group of hackers in my German town used to setup shop in a subway before we had founded a hackerspace. They allow you unlimited drink refills, and were close to the fast university Wifi. We'd sit there every Friday for hours, watching the drunk party people turn up at the subway and hacking away on our notebooks! Those were the days...
Indians are very good businesspeople. When you look at median household income in the US, Asian-Americans are the highest with Indian-Americans being the highest. I have to mention the fact that I’m half-Indian myself, so I might be biased.
Worked at one place with a little buffet, the soups for it were kinda of out of the way on a little table. Nobody noticed for like a week or more that a new chick was just shutting the warmer off to close and leaving the soups out all night. She was just pulling the ladles out and topping them off the next day. It all reeked and the chile was foaming. It was getting served.
I can't believe you actually mentioned it but I actually once had a guy come in after getting sloshed at the bar ask for a Meatball Tuna and it was the only time I said "absolutely not." I just knew if I saw that combo together at the end of my shift at 1 am I was going to lose it
Not my red rooster but one of the other ones in town. One of the regulars came in at 6 git his usual and headed out to the car. 3 hours later the manager heard out to the back to have a durry, notices the regular customers car was still there. Manager walks up to the car to see if everything was ok, looks inside and the customer was dead. He had had a heart attack in his car never got to eat his last meal either.
I don't have any Red Rooster stories, because in the interview when the manager asked if I was familiar with their menu I immediately said "nah I prefer KFC".
I remember working at a drive-through across from a Subway. The owner of the Subway would drive through anywhere from 2-6 times a day for the 4 hour period he was working and each time would get a single 500mL can of Asahi Dry, you could tell when he was completely toasted because he wouldn't talk, so as to not give away that he was drunk, so I assumed he thought I couldn't remember the other 5 times he was in that day. I learned later that he also went through the other drive through in town about the same amount, which means he was probably absolutely fucked up almost all the time, which I honestly have to give mad respect for, I wish I could do that.
Did 2 years at Red Rooster and ALMOST was forced to be a manager before I left for uni. We had a manager that would bring his laptop in to play music in the kitchen but his entire playlist was different versions and covers of the same song "This Heart Attack" by Faker. Probably suitable because the whole staff was mungin on the cheesy nuggets the whole time.
When I worked at subway there was one day a new guy cut through the tent on connecting his thumb to his palm and we basically had to shut down for a few hours because of how much blood there was. Dude went to the hospital and was fine but I got in trouble for shutting down the store to clean up the blood that was literally all over the prep area. My store closed down not 2 months later.
ohh baby have i been waiting for this once at red rooster river vale, Perth, a random homeless lady walked in demanding I call an ambulance for her as she was "going" to give birth on the floor. She was wailing and screaming, those drugs must have done something good. Anyway, I didn't so and she then yelled at me to call my manager. I did and my manager proceeded to tell her she also would not call an ambulance, told her to fuck off and go to the subway across the carpark if she needed one that badly. 30 minutes later, there's an ambulance outside. never saw her again
Lmao, Seafood at subway.. In Canada, where I live, Subway does Lobster-roll subs. I'm not even joking when I say if you get one with double meat, it's $40. Fourty Dollars. For a sub at subway
I use to Work at Red Roster, had a few weird customers come through the drive through one that haunts my dreams to this day, and i still dont know why this customer did this, whenever he Came to the drive he would sit back away from securicty camera view and hold up a news paper to cover his face and when he would pay he would drive up to the window then reverse back so he is out of veiw of the security cameras. Then he did the same but sped off when he got his food. Part of me still thinks he probably invests in making a hat out of tin foil to keep the aliens away. 😂😂😂 I had another customer. Sweet lady only would come to the drive when i was working she is a germaphobe, so I would make the point of using sanitisers whilst i was handling her cash and when i went to grab her bags with her food in it. Another story is I use to work at red rooster with one of my dads friends kid she would use to steal from the Till at work, which turns out she decided to go super greedy and steal about 300 out of the till. The managers gave her options give back the money she already spent and get fired or get fired and have the cops called. I didn't know this was a friend of my dads kid till i was stuck watching the NRL Mel Vs Panthers 2020 gf game
my old subway has a bathtub full of mold in the employee restroom, the place was a renovated house and they just stripped everything they didn't need but left the bathtub cause it was too much hassle to get rid of. shit was genuinely disgusting
Red Rooster workers. It's your time to shine. Confess your sins in the replies. Keep them short and sweet for a better chance of making it in.
ALSO, I'm in Katoomba next week with my live show: www.friendlyjordies.com/live-show
Do Pizza restaurant workers confess their sins, not just dominos
On my first shift at a Red Rooster in Western Sydney, I saw my manager drop a tub of chicken nuggets on the floor then proceeded to pick them up one by one with his bare hands, throw em into the tub, looked me dead in the eye and said "Theyll be good for today. 10 second rule". That same day, I saw one of the cookers drop in that same tub into the fryer. I spent the day telling the 3 customers that actually came in not to order the nuggets. I got fired the next day.
Editors Note: Channel 9 is always there because the rumours of Money Laundering is true
Just working at Red Rooster is a sin
My cousin worked at red rooster and would gloat to us that he would see how long he could leave the chicken nuggets sitting in the warmer all day and still serve them without any complaints. They were meant to be thrown out after 2 hours. Once they were sitting there for his entire 8 hour shift and the people he served them to still didn't complain and they actually came back for more.
Edit: he's 40 and a drug dealer and addict now
Served at the rooster as my first job when I was 15. A few of us got chemical burns on our hands from the fucked chepo cleaning agents our manager (who we called the Big Rooster) bought to save a little bit of coin. Worst of all was the stench of the cheese sauce and cheese patty (a deep fried block of cheese sick) used in the triple cheeseburger promo that still haunts my nostrils. You could tell by looking at the person who just walked in if they were about to order one. Quite a particular demographic.
damn can’t believe i missed this one.
we used to play secret jalapeño, which is kinda like the penis game where you shout penis incrementally louder except you hide incremental amounts of jalapeños until some one complains. someone had an allergic reaction and my 16 year old ass had to go to court explaining why there’s security footage of us very intentionally stashing jalapeños under cucumbers.
we also used to haze new staff by playing the jalapeño challenge, which is where you make some pimple faced 14 year old eat a whole cambro of compressed jalapeños in 5 minutes, and you get a choccy milk as a reward.
worked as an assistant manager during covid for 9.66 an hour, good times
Jesus Christ
This is diabolical 😂
We need to know what happened with the court case
Extra for me please, they're not hot.
fucker that is why my sandwiches were unexplainable spicy
Too be fair, I'm surprised someone is allergic enough to have a reaction to jalapenos specifically. I would've thought that a harmless joke as well at that age.
25ish years ago, several friends of mine used to work at the local subway. They were all the employees. They found out the only inventory they took was the number of bread rolls, and the boxes of large bags of ingredients. They also found out that the camera wasn't being recorded to anything, it just allowed the person in the office to monitor the employees.
I could pay for a 6" and get a sandwhich with as much, of anything, I wanted on it. Eventually we started taking 10lbs bags of meatballs, cold cuts, sliced vegetables, etc. when everyone was poor college students, or recently moved out, on their own.
Then, one day, my closest friend, my cousin, and I, walked in, and saw that one of the glass doored, branded, soda fridges, was empty. Friend working said it had just had maintenance, and had to be restocked, but they didn't feel like it. So I pulled my truck up to the parking spot in front of the side door. We then went in, took the fridge, loaded in my truck, and took it home.
I had that pepsi fridge for nearly 20 years.
Gulag Archipelagos was better
@markvandermeulen1612 always preffered kolyma tales
The bread was considered cake by irish law sugar standards and they got taxed as if the subway bread was a luxury item
The fact that "luxury" food is taxed more is so shitty.
Wow, Ireland taxing somebody? Now I've heard everything!
Not the dreaded cake tax
Actually bullshit considering milk bread has more sugar but isn’t considered cake just trying to get sensationalism going
If you were a true subway connoisseur like me, you'd know the bread is completely different in every country. Subway bread in Japan is by far the worst.
I used to be a red rooster worker
One day, I think around lunchtime, this one customer screamed out. TBH I thought it was your typical crackhead doing their thing; however, it was an elderly lady, and she collapsed to the floor. Turns out she was having a heart attack in the store, obviously we were in a panic and I was told to get something to elevate her head. So I went to the shop next door and got some blankets as they where a clothing shop. Eventually the ambulance came and put a defib on her and rushed her to hospital. Later, the husband phoned the store and told us that she had unfortunately passed away. What made me feel a bit uneasy was that after this exchange happened, we went back to serving customers and acting like nothing happened. I know it’s a business and they needed to make money, but we just witnessed someone's death and now they wanted me to go back to making flavour wraps for customers, it didn't really feel right to me. But now I can safely save that the food at Red Rooster really does kill.
Jesus Christ! Were you guys all okay?
I've never been into red rooster and never known anyone that does. What's it like? I've always wondered how they stay in business cause they just sort of exist near actual fast food places and you never see any advertising for them at all.
reminds me of the time my coffee shop got broken into overnight, like broken glass everywhere, and we still had to serve a line of people who were just walking around this continuously evolving crime scene.
yeh. thats normal. do you think they should have shut the store down and then the next morning have a minute's silence? Perhaps they need a memorial out the front in a rock garden to "The Unknown Old Bag" LMAO! "A lovely old bag who spent her last moments with a bunch of blithering teens who wouldn't know their ass hole from their breakfast let alone how to do basic first aid to save the Old Bags life" ROFL now. I can just picture the little shits now. "I dont want to kiss her" "Eww, she's old" Well, just remember that when you are clutching your chest in pain as a bunch of kids run around not knowing what to do. meanwhile, for you, everything fades to black and then you have Deja Vu, remembering how this is just like when you were a kid. KARMA BABY!!!! (She's real).
you used to be a red rooster working?
I worked at subway for a month. In that time the owner had me change the date on the meats and cheese 12 times. I documented everything, called the health department and then quit. Greedy bastards couldn’t care less if they made people sick.
Edit: and for the dumba$$ in the comments. The health department shut the place down. No hero’s necessary. It’s what happens when a company blatantly disregard even the most basic food safety and handling methods.
@ , even cheese molds. What’s your point?
If they could care less they are currently caring. I suppose they couldn't care less

Oh dang it, I missed my chance to say the stuff I had to put up with when I worked at subway, (the cursed sandwiches, bugs in food, people shotgunning beers out of view
Should I list more here? Sorry for not saying it in time :/
Funnily enough of the *minimal* training I got, they were putting heavy emphasis on not putting a knife in a sandwich, so maybe that’s not as rare an occurrence. (In fact, they wanted me to come in and do the actual training I was supposed to do weeks prior to working there on my own time, (unpaid ofc) and just check everything saying I understood it (likely as a way of covering their ass if I got hurt so they could claim I was properly trained to use the equipment and it was my own fault)
Mate of mine got food poisoning from red rooter in Tamworth. He'd ordered some undercooked shit, which he ate, then set off for home in QLD.
He got somewhere near Moree before pulling over and calling an ambo to pick him up.
He'd shit himself that thoroughly he had to toss his shorts and jocks and used a towel as a makeshift nappy to keep the flow at bay.
He'd spewed all over his dash too.
As someone from tamworth i am not surprised at all

I worked as a "sandwich artist" in a shopping centre subway in a rough area that also happened to be next to a retirement village. believe me, I would rather deal with the regular guy we called "meatball meth head" than a single pensioner. It was my second day on the job and I somehow was left alone out the front while the person supervising me went on a smoke break. An elderly customer came up and asked if we did coffee, I almost laughed but saw the button for coffee on the till and turned around and to my horror, on the back bench I saw a coffee machine and cups. I looked at it then back to her and said "No." Pointed across the food court to a Muffinbreak and said "they do though." thank god she left me alone and I didn't trigger a karen attack. When my supervisor came back I asked to be shown how to use the machine.... worse mistake of my life. The next day my supervisor disappeared like some kind of ghost who was waiting to have some poor soul take his place before he could pass on. We had such a high turn over rate that some how after a month I ended up becoming the go to person to train the new employee and one of the only people on staff who learnt to use the coffee machine, not even the manager knew how. Did you know Subway does coffee? I didn't, no one I talk to knows but somehow The pensioners know. And with their pension card can get a cookie and coffee for like $2, and get pretty much any menu item 25% off. Every Thursday (pension payment day) there would be an army of irrate pensioners, deaf, confused by menu options, ramming each other with walkers, demanding discounts, asking for insane request, and of course making coffee orders that made me question if they should actually be allowed out of the village without a nurse. Once had a senior ask for 9 sugars in a black coffee, also asked for it to be half strength and extra hot. yeah meatball meth head threatened to stab me, but at least he didn't ask to me froth a black coffee with a steamer in lunch rush and call me "Angel-baby" and "my Favourite sandwich maid". Moral of the story, weaponise your incompetence.
and side note every senior's favourite go to is the 6 inch seafood sensation (lablle on the packet the "meat" comes in out the back litterally say "Crab flavoured chunks") W
I have been in your predicament at so many jobs mate I feel ya ❤ do the bare minimum and study something to better yourself it's never too late
Wow i want to draw your "Day of the Near-Dead" description. 😂
Peak TH-cam comment. Perfectly concise
I love how companies give elaborate titles for mundane jobs. "Sandwhich Artists" used to be called "Kitchen Hands" or "Kitchen Laborers" In 10 to 20 years they'll get bored with "Sandwhich Artists" and probably will think "Kitchen Hand" sounds more elaborate and Flashy and go back to calling yall that.
No offense to anyone who works as a "Sandwich Artist" But I have failed to see the art in those particular sandwiches. The real art is in the broody, rude, and victimized demeanor of the kids who work there. NOW THATS ART! It must take years to mold them into that.
Im not saying there is no one that could not be artful with food. of course, they can. I would be a moron to think otherwise. But watching those muppets throw stuff into sliced bread just doesn't register as art for me any more than randomly throwing food onto the carpet and calling it a "Pro Hart" :P (an artist who should have worked at Sub Way).
There is no imagination required by the so-called "Sandwich Artist" In my opinion, the bare minimum to meet the criteria of "Art" is to have used or required even just a small amount of imagination. None is required for Subway. The "Sandwich Artists" Are either reading from a menu/recipe or they are following your Instructions, right? NO ART!!! If they were inventing new sandwiches on the fly and using some thought and imagination, and each one was a unique blend then one could maybe, just maybe call it art. Perhaps the next name improvement for Subway Workers will be "SANDWHICH SCIENTIST" or "SANDWHICH ENGINEER" I type in all caps sometimes because I think Trump looks so cool when he does it. In fact "Sandwich Engineer" makes far more sense than "Sandwich Artist"
@@JasonBlack66 I agree, but whats even funnier is the our training is to complete these moduels by watching videos and completing quizzes online on a platform called Subway university. I have saddly, achieved official certificates 1, 2 and 3 in 'Sandwich Artistry.' I guess they would have to change it to a degree if it was called 'sandwich engineering.'
I worked at a Subway in rural Minnesota.
I wanted a cookie that we ran out of so i took a frozen cookie dough chunk and put it in the sandwich toaster to cook it quick before i clocked out. The cookie immediately caught fire and almost took the toaster with it. The cookies are meant to be baked slowly it would seem.
Was this in the town of Willmar? If so was it back in like 2015? If so I think we worked together lmao cause I remember that and a big fight between a coworker and customers to.
@Sithis211 eyyyy Minnesota! Na this was in Fergus Falls, but I wouldn't be surprised if another bored "sandwich artist" has had a similar stroke of genius.
Subway is the meal for when you know you aren't going to be healthy in the diet or mental sense, but you've already eaten dirty bird and halal snack packs 5 times that week and your body is screaming for some vegetables that aren't potatoes.
lol
Do your kebabs not have salad, onion, red cabbage? Do they not come with the switch meat for falafel option?
@@bacicinvatteneaca in what world are kebabs and hsps the same thing?
Chuck tabouli on the snack pack then just pick it off if you don’t like it. Best of both worlds.
@scowy_sg2125 but that would ruin a perfectly good hsp - subway starts out shit, so the shitty bits of lettuce and whatnot fit right in
If you have never eaten raw fast food cookies in the walk-in, you have never lived. They were the only thing that got me through some of my shifts
I thought I was the only one! I would take my jacket and a chair and camp out there for like 20 minutes at a time 😅 the white chocolate one's were the best
I wish you were joking
somehow i never even thought of this during my few years at subway. i had tried every single possible combination of food (except seafood and tuna cause yuck) including the good old subway pizza on a wrap. i prefer my biscuits cooked though, but just enough to melt them so theyre molten goo. thats when id swipe mine.
When I worked at McDonald’s, I always helped unloading the deliveries with my managers. They let me get first dibs and never gave a single fuck.
Worked for Subway for exactly two weeks. Saw a colleague drop an open tub of meatballs on the soapy, sudsy floor - pick up the spilled ones without a glove, stick them back in the tub, and take them out to be served.
Moved on right quick after that.

Super weird of them to give me all her info without even asking.

Tuna and Meatball, the surf and turf of Subway
Surf and turf of E. Coli and Salmonella.
Yes the toilet has the surf and the toilet paper is the turf.
I worked at a mcdonalds across the street from the subway. There was a 2 month time period where every couple fridays we would see police lights and get a visit asking if we had seen any suspicious people. Apperently it turns out one of the workers at the subway was helping someone rob themselves and it happened like 4 times.
ive got a story for you
a bit over a year ago I worked at a smaller pizza chain with about 3 stores in my area, i was only 16 and the place had very strict managers. I worked with a younger kid around 14, and one day it was just the two of us in the store when I noticed some mold in a small bin of cheese, and because of how the managers were we had to call them to report it. so I call the manager and they tell me to "just pick it out," I hung up and told the kid what she said then went in the back for a sec and when I returned I saw the kid picking through it with his barehands. I just grabbed the cheese and throw it, and about 10 minutes later the manager came into the store and began yelling at me for throwing out the cheese, before I walked out in full uniform and didnt come back.
also I was told that the manager attempted to scoop the cheese back out of the bin before giving up
American here. I have a story for you about Cousins subs. My actual cousin worked in a Cousins Sub in St. Louis, Missouri. She lost her job when the store had to close down due to health concerns. She was friends with some of the workers and they used to hang out after work. Later, it was determined that an outbreak of syphilis was traced back to the shop. Two of her friends admitted to having sex on the counters were the subs were made. He had syphilis and it got into the lettuce. My cousin quickly got some new friends and hasn't worked in fast food since.
They manage the restaurant for permanent residency, then they can also hire staff to fill specific roles for permanent residency. A lot of hospitality roles come under the umbrella of jobs you can be sponsored for.
I only know this because I have an employee who is a great bloke we want to sponsor but cant find anyway to actually do it which is unfortunate.
@@TM-ft5po That’s not what he is saying at all. He is saying that hospitality is an industry that is easy to get sponsored in because it sucks so much that no one wants to do it.
Whereas people with more productive and useful skills, have a hard time.
@@TM-ft5pothat nepotism is true. Just to clarify, I don't fault Indian Canadians for this at all. It's fault. They're just gaming the system
@@tonedowne there is something to be said that I can’t sponsor an intelligent driven person with a good head on him and who loves being here - but if I owned a pizza shop I could sponsor 50 delivery drivers who are the grown equivalent of a 16 year old boy with half the English skills. (Okay maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic but you get the point)
@ Yeah absolutely. I don’t think the Canadian guy got it though.
I was once in Subway and the bloke in front of me got inappropriately angry at the server for some minor problem. She was holding back from crying as she served me. I talked to her and cheered her up, she ended up smiling and relaxed by the time I left. Never get up retail workers, because this is the crap they deal with. A grown man making a high school girl cry because of how she made a sandwich. Pathetic.
Subway is an appropriate name for a restaurant with food as unhygienic as a subway
Worked at subway for like 2 months. Can confirm: cheese was tricky to separate.
Was paid $12 an hour as a "training rate" the whole time I worked there. Bonus was that I got to take home like 10 strawberry milks that were about to go out of date one day to share with the lads. So wasn't all that bad I guess...
It's stacked with overlap it's not that tricky lol

Where I used to work had a really old Red Rooster across the street that had been there probably since the early days.
I liked that when approaching the store via the side parking lot the only footpath took you right past their bags of trash and staff entry door which was basically just an old screen door and you could always see in to all the clutter and mess inside.
One day I shit you not I walked in to the store on a work break on a busy Wednesday arvy to no customers or staff in the store, and after calling out to someone and getting no response, I decided to try the staff door down the side. I found it wide open and no one was in the kitchen, no one called out when I tried to see if anyone was there, and when I went to turn around I saw there was a dead rat with a crushed head at the base of the screen door where it meets the wall.
This RR was on the far south end of the Goldy near the airport, but it closed a few years ago, so.. IYKYK
Did a mean roast chicken gravy roal tho
I used to eat the tuna subs here in the states, until I finally got struck with the worst episode of stomach and intestinal distress of my life. Covered in sweat, vomiting colors beyond the colors on the rainbow, and feeling my insides become a brown hole of pain was an experience I never want to have again. I spoke to my dead ancestors as I felt every ounce of my being burning like I was in hellfire.
Jesus told me I fucked up as I heaved and convulsed. Buddha was there telling me to accept the fate and karma of my lot. Somewhere Carl Sagan was extolling the insignificance of man on the pale blue dot as I nearly blacked out. I started having flashbacks to memories I thought lost while I lost feeling in my legs and my right arm went numb. An hour went by in what felt like days and seconds all at the same time. I could taste blood in my mouth, and I heard the songs of demons in my ears in a cacophony of vile screaming and the sounds of thunderous colonic expulsions.
I felt bad for that 7-11 bathroom after I left, but being drenched in sweat and looking like I had died, I did buy a Gatorade and left the store chugging it along with some cheap water like I'd been stuck in the desert for days. Disoriented I got on the wrong bus, and ended up taking an extra hour to get home. I couldn't get the taste of that sandwich out of my mouth for what felt like days, brushing teeth, chugging mouthwash, and flossing until my gums bled did nothing.
Still didn't go to a hospital after that because I couldn't afford it. Took some fish antibiotics I had for my fish at the time for about a week to be sure I'd be okay, and carried on never returning to Subway again.
Overall a regular experience with the tuna foot longs here in the states, 2/10.
These videos are not nearly long enough. I could watch at least 45 minutes of this.
Just make up stories in your head, they're all fake anyway

Apparently, you're not allowed to take Subway sandwiches onboard commercial flights with Jetstar due to incidents of sandwiches falling apart on the foldout tables.
1:24 In the UK, I went to a Subway in Feltham London and the manager's name was Jerry (he was white, not Indian)
The tuna and meatball sub sounds bad until you realize in the UK the Spud guys baked potato guys most popular order is Tuna with Baked Beans and Cheese.
For those nights when catfood just doesn't have the right mouth-feel.
Had a drunk dude walk into red rooster before closing. We had about a 10 minute argument because he wanted a whopper. He eventually realized we were not hungry jacks and left

I worked at Red Rooster in the late 2000s and I have a few stories. When we cleaned the floors they were a bit slippery so we would push off benches and slide around, I accidentally pushed my heel through a wall and thousands of cockroach’s poured out of the wall. Because there were a bunch of minors working there without tax file numbers the manager was able to hide a couple of ghost employees on the books and he would pay himself when someone called in and he had to actually do work. On several occasions I got asked to stay back to cover people but I had to clock out and I was paid cash at the end of the shift. This is when I found out the manager was cooking one load of chickens in the morning and keeping them in the hot box all day. And at the end of the day we take those chickens out to let them cool and then strip them and mix the stuffing with mayo to make rooster rolls. Which can be kept for 7 days in the coolroom, so naturally with first in first out you’re always getting 6-7 day old subs.
That place is now a post office.
Damnit i worked at Subway for 5 years and missed this!
Sometimes we wouldn't throw the bread away and leave it for the next morning. People hadn't been rotating it so sometimes i found bread with mould on it.
Also, I found a metal ring from the peocessing plant still through a packet of ham.
A colleague found a cow's tooth in the meatball bag.
The people who were rude to me got a jalapeno (if they didn't order anyway) hidden in their sub
Red Rooster exposed me to probably the most heinous stench humanly possible.
We played the game I like to call - soccer mould.
Whilst cleaning the store on a quiet afternoon, we found an old tub filled with water, oil and almost the entire red rooster menu.
What we also found… was a plate sized disk of mould, which we tipped onto the drain in the back and proceeded to kick around and stomp it down the drain for the next 15 minutes.
It was only after someone gloved up, got on their hands and knees and squashed the disk down the drain were we free from the smell.
This drain was below the chicken prep area btw
Red Rooda horror story. friend's first job was there. the floor was an ice skating ring, he fell onto one of the skewers they use for the chicken and skewered his arm. upwards. up the arm, not through it.
:( now I need to doordash me some. (chicken, not arm) XD
Here are just a few of my treasure trove of Subway stories.
One day I was decided to go sweep the dry storage room. I figured it had been a while so I wanted to make sure to get under the racks keeping the food off the ground. As I shoved the broom into the back corner, I bumped something. I figured it was an onion that someone had dropped, no big deal. I go in again and it was indeed an onion but it had been down there for so long, that it had sprouted out the top. We planted it and kept it growing in the store for a while.
We had one guy come in every few months and he always ordered the same thing. A footlong on white bread, double american cheese, and extra mayo. That was it. He looked like the sandwich.
Our store was once robbed in the middle of the night. They broke theough the front door, took the cash in the till and tried to lift the safe, realized it was too heavy, and left. The safe was not locked due to laziness.
Also, the thing about eating raw cookies out of the freezer is 100% accurate. Those dough balls are incredible.
7:04 The Goblin Surf 'n' Turf strikes again =))
Poor clutsy
jeez that made me lol
i was a red rooster employee in a small rural town. It was very eventful so here's a rapid fire recount of funny instances
In the store any form of hygiene was non existed, for the food and staff. there were instances of customers shitting in urinals (this really happened more than once) . Chicken soccer with a whole raw chicken just being booted around the floor wasn't uncommon. a crackhead losing his shit over his order taking too long to come so he just pissed on the floor. drugs were a common theme, a long time employee of like 6 years was fired when he was caught selling mdma and weed in the drive through. One time the manager pissed in the mop bucket that was then used to mop the whole place.
so i worked at subway for a few months. i was ringing up a customers order and it, by chance, came to $19.45. My mouth went ahead of my brain and i said, "$19.45- bad year to be a German."
One time our cool room (the one with all the raw chicken in it) broke and so instead of shutting the store and waiting for the repair guy, the owners just cranked the AC.
Saw people taking cooked chicken out of the oven and putting it on a counter with raw chicken juice.
A lot of stores would transfer raw chickens to other nearby stores in a random employee’s unrefrigerated car boot.
My mate’s manager would wipe the excess salt off the chip scoop on the side of the bin and then put it straight back in the chip hopper.
I worked at Subway and the chicken was never raw. Where are you talking about?
I remember one time at red rooster I was watching one of your vids and you promised to get a Warhammer tat once you reached a million subs
I owe my undying thanks to a subway worker, a long time ago at the end of a sizeable night on the piss I strolled into this fine establishment. In front of me stood a small ranga man with what can only be described as the aftermath of an impact crater in the middle of his fore head after he popped a massive pimple. I mean he really had at this thing, I said to him ‘Hey mate what happened, it looks like you’ve been taken out by a sniper’ to which he replied ‘Huhh?’ So I repeated my apt observation of the weeping remains of the m&m sized hole in his dome. He then replied with a underwhelming headbutt taking me by surprise ‘Did you just head butt me you little shit?’ Before anything else could happen the guy behind the counter leap into action yelling ‘YOU! Get the fuck out now!’ Physically ejecting this gremlin back into the abyss he crawled from (The Mackay CBD) and asked me if I was ok. Totally unscathed he gave me some napkins to clean the disgusting mess he left on my face and went back to performing gods work. 10/10 customer service, toasted foot long steak and cheese with bacon on Italian herb and all the fruit.
Havent watched but Im going to assume "fresh" is just implied
I thought it was sarcasm.
friend of mine worked in the subway of my hometown. Mayo is the most popular sauce, so it needs to be refilled the most often. Thing is they didn't empty and clean the container in between refills because it emptied so quickly. Inevitably a bunch of people got food poisoning from eating there one day (one was a pregnant lady) and there was a big online backlash against the restaurant. That lasted about a week. People went right back to eating there almost immediately. There was two other sub/pizza spots on the same st, one literally next door.
I worked at subway as a teen, not long after starting they got new knives to cut bread open (I didn’t know they were new) and sliced into the bread expecting a bit of resistance BUT NO sliced straight through my thumb
Manager was defs a heroin addict
And if people asked for xr jalapeños they got extra 😉 ( as many as I could shove on)
The chicken strips / teriyaki chicken comes in a bag that when you open smells like farts
I love the seafood mix would come in these large boxes (with half a dozen or so smaller boxes inside) on the outside of the large box in large black print was the phrase “Fit for human consumption” any food that has to declare that is questionable at best
Why is Jordies dressed like a recently off-shift nurse?
6:07 I love the thought of raging alcoholics just being defined as mischievous. Those little scamps stumble into the night to pull pranks and cause mischief like mythological trickster creatures.
Never worked at Red Rooster but somebody please explain (ploise exploin) how tf RR is still in business? Who's brave enough to come out and say what we're all thinking: It's surely a massive front like Los Polo Hermanos from Breaking Bad. I've never seen a RR 'popping off' during my 29 years of existence. Yet they always remain open and even recently are opening new stores. Somebody step up and fucking enlighten us, please.
Old red rooster worker here, before the store was taken over by a franchise owner, the chip holder was 60% covered in old grease, took about 6 months of constant cleaning to fully remove
Eat fresh, baby
Thank you for this. I’m having some personal issues and haven’t laughed in days, and this got me to do it. Thank you.
Hoping things get better for ya bud!
I swear red rooster was a money laundering front in my hometown because you'd see about one person go through the drive through every 3 hours.
yeah, I have no idea how they're still in business. I don't even know what they sell. Like, I assume chicken, but they don't advertise. They could secretly be the best fast food place and I would have no idea cause nobody goes there.
One thing that absolutely blew my mind was the amount of people that order tuna. My family establishment was near a business park and the sheer number of grown ass men in suits ordering a raw untoasted tuna sub with nothing but extra mayo was insane.
UH DONT GO AFTER TUNER AND MEITBAL
I have worked there for 5 years now. They don’t give us 10 minute breaks on long shifts. They like to over work us. They under pay us and they LOVE to cut corners and try keep running costs low by putting on all juniors with one senior on. All in all just never work there and don’t eat there.
3:08 we all spend loads of time crafting the perfect sandwich only for us to be called "rude".
>:(
Nah, you’re just rude
THIS IS AN AWESOME VIDEO TO WATCH WHILE DRUNK THANK UOJ FOR RELEASING THIS ON HALLOWEEN
Funnily enough, I actually have a Subway story, though as a customer instead of an employee.
I was coming home from work and stopped by a Subway next to my house. The guy is front of me was getting his sandwich made until he asked for Mayo. The guy at the counter said "Sorry, we're out of mayo tonight." Kinda sucked for me cause I liked Mayo, but things proceeded as normal for a bit. That was until it came time for the man to pay. He then yelled, "Fuck you and your rude ass! How dare you be rude to me!" or something along those lines before storming out. He didn't even take his fucking sandwich, a Plain Turkey on Italian Bread. I have no idea what made this man so mad. I guess the mayo comment flipped a switch or something. Bear in mind that directly across the street from this subway was a Grocery Store that absolutely had mayo.
Anyway, I joked about it with the guy at the counter, and ended up getting the guy's sandwich. So, fuck him, I guess :)
whoever edited this video, i see you. great job.
11:22 Jordan!
I work at subway, i can confirm that someone did wrap the knife in the sub because it is now on the training courses to NOT do it, it was labelled "this is unfortunately a real photograph"
Heres my Red Rooster story. One time, my managers way over ordered the raw fried chicken. It all went off and turned green in the fridge and had to be thrown out. Turns out at this time the management had not been paying for the dumpster to be emptied and there was no room. I was told to put the chicken in garbage bags (it filled 3 or so bags) and leave it in the back room until the dumpster was emptied. It wasn't emptied for a week, we filled that ENTIRE room with old garbage with this chicken literally rotting in the bottom, it stunk up the ENTIRE back of the store with the smell of dead corpses for a week. Miserable place to work.
This must be a trend cause this exact same situation happened at my store and still does
A group of hackers in my German town used to setup shop in a subway before we had founded a hackerspace. They allow you unlimited drink refills, and were close to the fast university Wifi. We'd sit there every Friday for hours, watching the drunk party people turn up at the subway and hacking away on our notebooks! Those were the days...
Hi Jordies, can you please tell me your face care routine?
Perfect timing for this today, my husband and I just watched this while eating our Subway dinner at almost 10pm 😂
In the us subway managers are also stereotypically Indian so that’s interesting to see that’s the same in Australia
Indians are very good businesspeople. When you look at median household income in the US, Asian-Americans are the highest with Indian-Americans being the highest. I have to mention the fact that I’m half-Indian myself, so I might be biased.
Worked at one place with a little buffet, the soups for it were kinda of out of the way on a little table. Nobody noticed for like a week or more that a new chick was just shutting the warmer off to close and leaving the soups out all night. She was just pulling the ladles out and topping them off the next day. It all reeked and the chile was foaming. It was getting served.
My son: why would she wanna put a cucumber there but?
Me: how the fook do you think they make pickles mate?
I can't believe you actually mentioned it but I actually once had a guy come in after getting sloshed at the bar ask for a Meatball Tuna and it was the only time I said "absolutely not." I just knew if I saw that combo together at the end of my shift at 1 am I was going to lose it
How about a "Games Workshop" confess your sins? If you can't make a Warhammer video, just let your fans write you one 😂
Omfg that is gold. Imagine the amount of neck beard autistic kid raging.
red rooster? oof, you going to have to screen a lot of those.
wu tang.
The Red Rooster near my place had the "S" blown out of its sign, so it read "Red Rooter".
It was like that for five years before it got fixed.
Not my red rooster but one of the other ones in town.
One of the regulars came in at 6 git his usual and headed out to the car.
3 hours later the manager heard out to the back to have a durry, notices the regular customers car was still there.
Manager walks up to the car to see if everything was ok, looks inside and the customer was dead. He had had a heart attack in his car never got to eat his last meal either.
Subway: catering for teachers stuck in parent-teacher interviews until 7pm.
I don't have any Red Rooster stories, because in the interview when the manager asked if I was familiar with their menu I immediately said "nah I prefer KFC".
I remember working at a drive-through across from a Subway. The owner of the Subway would drive through anywhere from 2-6 times a day for the 4 hour period he was working and each time would get a single 500mL can of Asahi Dry, you could tell when he was completely toasted because he wouldn't talk, so as to not give away that he was drunk, so I assumed he thought I couldn't remember the other 5 times he was in that day. I learned later that he also went through the other drive through in town about the same amount, which means he was probably absolutely fucked up almost all the time, which I honestly have to give mad respect for, I wish I could do that.
Did 2 years at Red Rooster and ALMOST was forced to be a manager before I left for uni.
We had a manager that would bring his laptop in to play music in the kitchen but his entire playlist was different versions and covers of the same song "This Heart Attack" by Faker. Probably suitable because the whole staff was mungin on the cheesy nuggets the whole time.
When I worked at subway there was one day a new guy cut through the tent on connecting his thumb to his palm and we basically had to shut down for a few hours because of how much blood there was. Dude went to the hospital and was fine but I got in trouble for shutting down the store to clean up the blood that was literally all over the prep area. My store closed down not 2 months later.

Subway - Home of the _nearly meatless_ sub.
*"We'd slice it even thinner if we could!"*
ohh baby have i been waiting for this
once at red rooster river vale, Perth, a random homeless lady walked in demanding I call an ambulance for her as she was "going" to give birth on the floor. She was wailing and screaming, those drugs must have done something good. Anyway, I didn't so and she then yelled at me to call my manager. I did and my manager proceeded to tell her she also would not call an ambulance, told her to fuck off and go to the subway across the carpark if she needed one that badly. 30 minutes later, there's an ambulance outside. never saw her again
Had a Red Rooster in my home town that only lasted a year. Barely saw anyone in it. Went to it once and the chicken was really dry.
Lmao, Seafood at subway.. In Canada, where I live, Subway does Lobster-roll subs.
I'm not even joking when I say if you get one with double meat, it's $40.
Fourty Dollars.
For a sub at subway
I genuinely think I know who the person is that put the knife in that sub. A friend about 10+ years ago told me his brother did this one time.
I use to Work at Red Roster, had a few weird customers come through the drive through one that haunts my dreams to this day, and i still dont know why this customer did this, whenever he Came to the drive he would sit back away from securicty camera view and hold up a news paper to cover his face and when he would pay he would drive up to the window then reverse back so he is out of veiw of the security cameras. Then he did the same but sped off when he got his food. Part of me still thinks he probably invests in making a hat out of tin foil to keep the aliens away. 😂😂😂 I had another customer. Sweet lady only would come to the drive when i was working she is a germaphobe, so I would make the point of using sanitisers whilst i was handling her cash and when i went to grab her bags with her food in it. Another story is I use to work at red rooster with one of my dads friends kid she would use to steal from the Till at work, which turns out she decided to go super greedy and steal about 300 out of the till. The managers gave her options give back the money she already spent and get fired or get fired and have the cops called. I didn't know this was a friend of my dads kid till i was stuck watching the NRL Mel Vs Panthers 2020 gf game
my old subway has a bathtub full of mold in the employee restroom, the place was a renovated house and they just stripped everything they didn't need but left the bathtub cause it was too much hassle to get rid of. shit was genuinely disgusting
I wonder what sins Jared Scott Fogle would confess?
I cant even with the tuna and meatball? like i have never even had the thought of combining those 2 together in a sub... Yheeeeck
This series just get’s better
"the seafood incidents"???
Holy shit.
So, no way am I ever going to eat anything from Subway.
