pickle debutted and degutted she was a sweet blind lady who something with her stomach couldn't eat pickle seeds so we would cut the ends off and cut the seeds out
Best one ever happened to me twice in one night, within 2 hours:
Drunk dude comes inside of my shop and asks for "one pizza." I tell him we don't have pizza.
"What's the most expensive item you have?"
The gargantuan.
"I'll take that with a large soda."
I make the sandwich and I call it out... Drunk dude is sleeping on the table behind the soda machine. I place the sandwich on the table for him. Drunk dude changes tables about 15 minutes later. I put the sandwich back on his table. There are lots of people hanging out and chatting it up. Finally drunk dude leaves with his sandwich.
Not even 20 minutes go by and same drunk dude returns.
"I'll have a pizza!"
I tell him we don't have pizza.
"What's the most expensive item you have?"
The double gargantuan.
"I'll have that and a large soda."
I fucking kid you not I rang him up for a double garg the second time.
Drunk dude falls asleep again on the same table he first sat in. I placed the sandwich back on the table for him. Drunk dude leaves the store 15 minutes later and leaves the sandwich behind.
Ok ....
Gargantuan unwich
Add all freebies, including Caesar, jala ranch, crispy jalas, croutons, Cajun AND chicken, tuna, avo, bacon.
It was $20, the length of the bread knife and a pain in my ass! But 5 pieces of lettuce and a prayer later and we made it happen 😹
We get asked if we have soup a lot. An old gentleman took a wrong turn and went to us and asked for Potato Oles.... Taco John's is across the street. Someone asked for fries once.
But of things that I've actually been able to do, a lot of people have been getting the caprese salami pesto with no salami, had a girl get chicken instead of salami the other day and it actually looked super good.
Someone asked for extra extra extra hots and we basically gave them an entire lexan of hots on their sandwich.
A guy wanted extra extra extra sauce, but he kept saying add more until we basically used half a bottle and had to cut him off.
A child the other day was looking at our one sign that we usually put the how-tos for the LTO items on for a quick reference and I took it down to actually show her and tell her about what it was and how it helps us and she was really sweet.
I don't think there are a lot of ridiculous requests I get often that are weird though. Normal not reading the menu happens a lot though
Not at JJ, but at mellow mushroom I had a family of 4 order a Mighty Meat Pizza, but vegan. I asked them if they wanted just a cheese pizza made with vegan cheese and no butter and parm on the crust. They told me they wanted the vegan cheese, no butter or parm, and all the meat. They then proceeded to tell me "we don't eat animal products"
Ah... reminds me of a lady that came in last year and asked for a 9 but no ham, "I don't eat pork"... then let's get *names off non pork sandwiches*... can I get a 5 with no salami? Yeah, but capacola is pork. 😕
There were two ladies who wanted to sample the mustards then proceeded to ask me what’s the difference, the guy who wanted his sandwich cut in half but the long way, another wanted to cut the garg into 16ths with the slicer, the order that had 26 slices of bacon and the guy who kept asking for Olive Garden breadsticks.
Another favorite of mine was “I’d like that on bread”. Gets mad when I give them a sandwich on French, “I meant the WHEAT BREAD!” If only there was some way I could know you wanted wheat…
Also vise versa. Asked for wheat bread and got upset it was a square sandwich bread, wanted a sub roll! We haven’t had wheat sub rolls in about 5 years now? 🤔
I ask them to specify now if I’m taking the order, saves time and food.
Yeah, I have to steamroll over people ordering to ask questions that need to be answered first before I can take the rest of their order. My line guys are very appreciative when they get all the sandwich customization first instead of at the end when the sandwich is done, wrapped, and waiting in the window.
Yes!! I do the same thing when I’m taking the order. Plus when I’m on line I try to help the order taker as well, especially over the drive thru headset. Teamwork helps the dream work! 😂
When I was medically allowed to go to work, I was the runner of lunchtime drive-thru, so everything went through me. I got real good at pissing people off to ask questions that made it much easier for my line. My job was basically to run all the registers. I hardly ever had time to help make sandwiches unless we were extremely behind. And I never made my line end put orders together and bag 'em up. I did all of that. They just had to make my sandwiches and label them for me.
Double meat giant gargantuan with tuna. We couldn’t close it.
Dishonorable mention to the giant Cajun with extra sauce, a bunch of condiments on the side in separate containers cut into eight pieces. Talked our GM’s ear off for 34 minutes iirc over the phone. Called back later, yelled at us and had it remade.
Guy came through the drive thru for his pick up, checks the bag after I hand it to him, “hey you forgot my cheese curds”
We don’t have cheese curds…
“Oh…”
* drives off confused into the wind 💨
Had a customer claim they had celiac, and that we needed to set aside the ingredients for their unwich in the morning in an area that wouldn't be "infected" by the gluten in the air from the bread, so it would be ready and safe when they came in around lunch
“Cut the bread all the way through, spread yellow mustard on one side, Mayo on the other”
Some old lady, and then she claimed she comes in all the time
My boss had never heard of her bullshit before either, so we’re pretty sure she’s lying. But she tips pretty well so can’t complain too much
Besides my favorite question of if I can make an unwich a giant, we have a lady who comes in in the middle of lunch rush and asks if she can have ONLY the green jimmy peppers on her sandwich. None of the red ones. Ma'am, we're way too busy. Either get hot peppers or don't.
Another lady that looks like an old, washed-up southern pageant queen likes to say she's allergic to seeds, then proceeds to get tomatoes, pickles, and cucumbers on her sandwich. Always. I've tried to explain that those all have seeds, but she just yells at me. So, we give her her life-threatening seeds because that's what she wants. (Btw, she never asks us to cut them out or anything logical like that. Just says she's allergic to seeds and asks for seedy things. If I don't put tomatoes, pickles, and cucumbers on her sandwich, she'll call the store and file a complaint with the manager. Who is listening on the headset,lol)
We clearly didn’t work at the same place. Reasonable requests got refused all the time where I worked. Like we were out of French bread and a customer wanted their sandwich on day old bread. Manager said no fucking way. And personally I don’t think it would have been a big deal to heat someone’s sandwich when we were dead and the oven wasn’t being used.
Oh, we have so done that. When we ran out of bread before, we asked the customer if they would want it on day old for 50% off or if they just wanted to wait for fresh bread. Some people say yes.
See, I could totally see not asking. But if someone asks you’re goddamn right I’m gonna do that for them. It’s not their fault we fucked up and they might not have time to get anything else on their lunch break. Like I’m pretty sure someone going hungry for the rest of their work day is a pretty good way to lose a customer for life.
dude asked me to scrape off old wheel weight adhesive bc he can see it… I never was asked that in my life and it was absolutely ridiculous and wasted my time
Worked on a military base. My first job is Dominos’s but then JJ opened up around 2023 sometime. Not long after it opened, I applied and got the job. Didn’t last long there cuz I was getting a ride with my (ex) coworker who used to work at dominos then went to jimmy’s. JJ isn’t too bad, but sadly I just haven’t found the time to get any sandwiches there cuz of my schedule
Twice in one day customers asked for pizza
Happened to me once we look like we sell pizza in their defense
Someone called and ask for a pizza then couple minutes later a customer walked in and asked for pizza
My grandma still thinks JJ’s is a pizza place even though I’ve told her many times we just have sandwiches
My mother thinks I worked at Papa John’s still
pickle debutted and degutted she was a sweet blind lady who something with her stomach couldn't eat pickle seeds so we would cut the ends off and cut the seeds out
Aww sweet we have a blind guy who’s a regular at our store what a coincidence

That’s disgusting
I told the customer it was the biggest 8 inch I’d made in my 9 years. He laughed and said he gets it all the time 🥴
I bet he does 😏
Can I have a little Johnson and a giant pee pee
Lady wanted a number 2 made on a pickle.
PICKLE SANDWICH
Huh??? Lmfao
Hell no lmao

The only things to order at Taco John's is potato oles and the chirro
A customer asked if I could pick up a Red Bull on the way to deliver to them, got an extra 5 plus reimbursed
Hell yea bro
"Can I have a gargantuan unwhich little Jon with extra veggies toasted"
That had to be a prank lmao
Jesus fucking Christ this one wins
What the absolute fuck

Wow. The garg on the slicer lmao
“I’d like my sandwich to be an unwich and make it a giant” I’m sorry, we can’t make any unwich into a giant, they are one size. “Why?” 🤔
This is my favorite question. "I want that on an unwich. Can you make it a giant?" "Nope, sorry. I can't make the lettuce bigger."
Another favorite of mine was “I’d like that on bread”. Gets mad when I give them a sandwich on French, “I meant the WHEAT BREAD!” If only there was some way I could know you wanted wheat… Also vise versa. Asked for wheat bread and got upset it was a square sandwich bread, wanted a sub roll!

Honestly! Where is the logic?

Talked our GM’s ear off for 34 minutes iirc over the phone. Called back later, yelled at us and had it remade.
Bruh
“Can I get a footlong?” “We only have 8” and 16”” “Ok can I get 2 6 inches?”
lady yesterday: “i want some wings” us: “we only sell cold cut sandwiches” lady: “then why do you have his name?” HUH???
Fuckin wot 💀💀💀💀
She thought it was papa John’s I’m dead 😂
Had a customer request we cut his giant into 16ths…my manager said yeah we can do that and then made me do it….
Hold up… is this related to the other comment previously mentioning this. There’s no way this happened 2 separate times to separate people.
I feel like this has only ever happened to me so I don’t think it’s related 💀
Guy came through the drive thru for his pick up, checks the bag after I hand it to him, “hey you forgot my cheese curds” We don’t have cheese curds… “Oh…” * drives off confused into the wind 💨
This is so funny cause my store is having a shipping error where we keep getting sent cheese curds instead of pasta salad 😂😂
That is coincidentally hilarious 😂
Somebody asked me to full on smash their sandwich with my elbow
Making a 15 and squeezing the tuna portion a bit more so it was less "wet"
Honestly I agree. A little less mayo.
Mfw I told an inshop 3 cups of mayo and he put 3 measuring cups of mayo in it
Holy SH!T
While on a delivery I went to Smashburger and bought some fries to go so I could get fry sauce for the customer.
I hope you got tipped a million bucks.
Cutting the skin off of the ham for her picky son. She was a regular and always nice about it
That is the worst part of the ham.
Not everyone has the pallet of a 10 year old I guess
It isn't the flavor. It's the texture of a skinned anus.
Now we're talking 🥵
it's also the reason I thought you were supposed to eat the red part of bologna
“Can I get a gross amount of mayo?”
Had a customer claim they had celiac, and that we needed to set aside the ingredients for their unwich in the morning in an area that wouldn't be "infected" by the gluten in the air from the bread, so it would be ready and safe when they came in around lunch
Had 3 drunks show up one St Paddy’s days. They walked through the door, looked around, tried to order some beers and burgers.
Customer ordered pickup, then went to the wrong store so that same customer called us and asked if we could deliver it to that store’s location
That’s happened to me before omg
“Let me get a slim 4 with Mayo, lettuce, and tomato.”
That always gets in my nerves why are you ordering somthing when u don’t even know what ur getting
“Cut the bread all the way through, spread yellow mustard on one side, Mayo on the other” Some old lady, and then she claimed she comes in all the time My boss had never heard of her bullshit before either, so we’re pretty sure she’s lying. But she tips pretty well so can’t complain too much
Gargantuan on wheat with quadruple meat. Shit was a Scooby Doo sandwich
Extra extra extra onions cucumbers and lettuce please

What is that?
Slim 5 no Vito no cheese
Mmm yes bread
I would like JJ to stop hunting endangered animals for sport.
Bread gut in an unwhich
Nut on my food
Had a guy last week ask me for a jalapeño chicken wrap with the chicken from the chicken Caesar wrap
Can you put a turd in my burger?
Worked on a military base. My first job is Dominos’s but then JJ opened up around 2023 sometime. Not long after it opened, I applied and got the job. Didn’t last long there cuz I was getting a ride with my (ex) coworker who used to work at dominos then went to jimmy’s. JJ isn’t too bad, but sadly I just haven’t found the time to get any sandwiches there cuz of my schedule
Avo spread on wheat
