Trent posted:This is me. I am now actually considering ordering a "fuckton of olives" at some point. bringmyfishback posted:One of my best friends worked at Subway for three or four years while in college. She said that "sandwich artists" are limited to how much of any single item they put on the sandwich. I can't remember if it was a decision made by the franchise's owner or if it was at the corporate level, but I'm guessing it's the former. It was weirdly specific, too: like four pickles, six olives, ten leaves of spinach. There's a standard/recommend amounts (Six olives/pickles/jalapenos/tomato. x grams of lettuce/onion/spinach/capsicum/carrot. Etc.), my work has some stickers on the counter to remind us how much to put on. But if someone asks for more, you just put more on. Salad is cheap and it keeps them happy. I'll grab a snap of the things tomorrow so we can menu-hack the gently caress out of Subway. In the mean time have some.... motivational  ... stickers that's on my work's sandwich cabinet.   You can just feel the Upper Management Haven't Worked In A Store for Years/Ever.

Seriously, though, SIX olive slices. Like tiny little "O" shaped slices of a black olive. Six of them. On a whole longass sandwich. Why even bother? One time I went to the Olive Garden and asked for extra olives in my salad, and they waitress said, with no trace of irony, shame, or apology, "we're actually out of olives". At the Olive Garden. Now, I realize it's not an actual garden and the olives come from somewhere else, but if I'm the manager of a restaurant, and there is a specific type of food in the very name of that restaurant, and it looks like we're about to run out, maybe I'd send someone to the loving store. Can you imagine going to a restaurant with the word "Steak" or "pizza" in it's name, being shown to a table, getting your drink order, and only then being told that the titular food is not available. It's bait and switch I tells ya! Lifehack: Olive Garden sucks poo poo anyway. You can almost certainly get better Italian food for less money right up the street.

Trent posted:"we're actually out of olives" They say something like this anytime you try to make a change to the salad. More olives? We're out. Fewer onions? The salad won't be as good without them. The solution, as you concluded, is to not eat there in the first place.

I work at a Sprouts Farmers Market (a smaller grocery chain). We no longer put sprouts on our sandwiches due to salmonella problems. And we have run out of sprouts multiple times in the produce department in the past year for the same reason. I see the humor in it but snotty customers usually do not.

The overwhelming majority of Subways are franchised, so the policies at once place won't necessarily correspond to those at any other location.

One time a local touristy place (that is still loved by locals because they have great hiring practices and make decent food) who's ONE THING is clam chowder ran out. It was hilarious to see this massive crowd of 100+ tourists wandering around a parking lot like decapitated chickens being like "Oh god, are there other places to eat here? Where am I? WHATS MY NAAAAAAAAAME?".

Puntification posted:So kitchen hack is just another word for recipe? A general rule of thumb is: The worse it tastes the better the hack. Take this ingenious Freeze Cooked Pasta hack and this No-Cook Tomato Sauce hack for example. Sure, you could make tomato sauce and noodles in like ten minutes (or if you're so inclined you could have the sauce taste even better by letting it cook for a tiny bit longer), but why do that if you can freeze your noodles for no reason and sprinkle some tomato goop on it?

Once it’s golden brown on top and looks good to eat, take it out of the oven and set it aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. You can cut into it immediately but if you do it’ll collapse and won’t look as pretty. Lifehack: ruin a perfectly good shirt in your rush to make 12 hours & eleven minute bread.

I worked at a Panera once and I can see that happening if they were really busy or something. The people who actually make the bread and pastries work night shift and none of the people there during the day are trained to make any of the pastries. They do have some baguettes and breads that are ready to pop in the oven if it looks like they're running low on them for sandwiches or the sides of bread, but that's all they have as far as extra stuff goes.

karl fungus posted:I can't think of a single "life hack" that isn't really stupid. That's because when they aren't stupid, they just become 'life.' Animal too hard to kill with your bare hands? Find a rock with a pointy end and hit the animal with it! Animal too dangerous? Use the rock to scrape the end of a long stick into a point. This lets you hit the animal without getting in reach of its teeth or claws. Animal runs away when you get near? Tie a piece of sinew to each end of a bendable stick, and then pull the sinew back until both ends of the stick bend. When you let go, it will release enough force to propel a small pointed stick towards the animal faster than you can run at it. Animals hard to find reliably? Capture a few and let them breed in captivity, then take away the offspring and raise them to adulthood. Kill the fiesty ones for meat, and let the bigger and slower ones breed. In a few generations, you'll have animals that give more meat and you don't have to chase. Not good at all of the above? Take one skill you are good at, and hone it. Then you can trade services with somebody else who is focusing on a different skill. This will let you both have access to a higher level of skill then you otherwise would have, without the extra time and effort it takes to learn it. Hard to decide what your skill is worth compared to somebody else's? Have a skill or good that's not immediately useful to the person you want to trade with, or vice-versa? Take a controlled or otherwise uncommonly-found item and designate it as a go-between in trade. That way you can gather and store these items to trade when it's convenient. flavor.flv has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Sep 27, 2014 |

I tried this and they don't mention that not only do you have to be super good at tracking, but it takes forever. And then when you do kill the drat thing, you gotta drag it back to camp. After you've been chasing it for hours. Yah. I mean it works I guess, but honestly it's just easier to trade for a spear.
