Hair in my sandwich

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Subway - Hair in my sandwich

I ordered a sub at Subway and took it home and bit into it to find a hair hanging from inside my sandwich. I then called the store I got it at and informed them of this.

I was told I would get a replacement. I recently went into the restaurant to get my replacement and was told that it was not written down, so I wasn't able to get it. Then I asked why no one had on a hair net and was told it was not required because they wear visors with hair hanging out. Then I told them that they needed to wear hair nets when preparing food for the public.

They told me they were not a restaurant or in food service, so it was not required. This is how I got the hair in my sandwich in the first place. Then I was told I had to leave.

I would really like Subway to know that their employees do not always wear gloves or hair nets all the time. I would like my sandwich replaced and these employees reprimanded.

Gloves and hairnets (or lack of) are visually apparent. If you mention their importance that should be a determining factor in choosing whether to order their food. Not an after thought to justify an alleged claim when you are not returning said food for a replacement.

There was no hair in the food. If there was it was their hair not the employee.

This person is looking for a handout. As someone else said, if this really happened they would be disgusted to take anything from them free or not.

They put their own hair in the sandwich.

Mio Ejs

Nice try. If this really happened you would not want anything from them.

Even if it was for free. You would be disgusted by what happened that you would not want free food from them. You wouid want NOTHING from them. It is obvious that you cannot afford to eat and are looking for a handout.

If you really want a free meal visit a soup kitchen.

They help those in your situation. No need to lie for free food.

That is if they are tellling the truth about the bad food. Sometimes people lie to get something for free.

I have a feeling this person is doing exactly that.

If there were really hair in the food they would not want anything from them free or not. The OP cannot afford to eat and is looking for a handout.

You obvously do need a handout if you are begging for free food. Most people would just return the food and get their money back.

They would stop going there. They wouldn not beg for free food.

Subway - Promo cofe

I ordered food on the Subway app, and I went to enter my promo code, and it kept saying that it was expired, but on the coupon, it said it was good till November 8th, 2025. I tried several different times and finally gave up, and we ordered at another place because of a time issue.

I am disabled and could not go to the restaurant to place the order. Someone else was picking it up for me.

This was very aggravating because we tried to order Subway last weekend.

It kept saying everything I tried to order was out of stock. I was really wanting Subway, so I went ahead and tried again, and again, failure!

Complaint Regarding Poor Service and Product Quality at Subway on Schillinger Rd

Complaint Regarding Poor Service and Product Quality at Subway on Schillinger Rd
Complaint Regarding Poor Service and Product Quality at Subway on Schillinger Rd - Image 2

Dear Subway Corporate or Owner,

Im writing to express my concern about a very unprofessional experience I had during my recent visit to the Subway location on Schillinger Road in Mobile, AL.

While I was preparing to use my own coupon, I offered another customer a coupon as well. I was then told I could not use mine, mind you the other customer used hers.

And despite there being no visible signage or communication indicating such a restriction. This was confusing and frustrating.

To add to the disappointment, the employee named Aldi was extremely rude and began speaking in another language while addressing the situation, which came across as disrespectful and unprofessional. I felt uncomfortable and disrespected as a customer. Let me add the product I received was not up to standard.

The sandwich was poorly made and did not meet the quality Ive come to expect from Subway.

I will also be calling your corporate office directly to report this, but I wanted to make sure my experience is documented online.

Yes I am a resident of Mobile. I hope appropriate action will be taken to improve the customer service and food quality at this location.

Sincerely,

Janae

Pros:
  • Customizable meals
Cons:
  • Quality control issues
  • Coupon restrictions lies
  • Bad attitudes

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: I recommend that future customers double-check store policies before using coupons, as this location did not have any clear signage or communication regarding restrictions. I also encourage management to ensure staff members are trained in professional customer service and product preparation to maintain the quality and reputation that Subway is known for.

If you want a full refund RETURN THE SANDWICH.

Guest

All Subways in North America are franchised-owned. If Corporate sees this, they will merely pass it on to the store's manager or owner.

Keep in mind, Corporate is who sends out coupons and comes up with promotions, but it is up to the individual franchise owners whether they want to accept the coupons and participate in any specials or promotions. Corporate has no control over store staffing.

Original review Sep 01, 2025

Jagdeep Dhillon The owner of the location I went to is prejudice. He is dishonest and continues not to take accountability for SOME of his rude employees.

He says they can never satisfy me , when I had a complaint regarding an online order one time. I have even complimented employees that are kind and provide great customer service. Anytime I speak up on mistreatment its a problem. And asked me to take my business elsewhere, but I keep going there.

If the location is in the store where Im going to shop why not go there? Hes rude and discriminatory and should not be a business owner.

Disrespectful employye/owner

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Subway - Disrespectful employye/owner

I am contacting Subway regarding an extremely disrespectful and intolerant employee/owner of a Subway restaurant in Lehigh Acres, Florida. The incident transpired several weeks ago on June 7, 2025, if I am correct about the date.

Shelby, an employee who claims to be the store owner, told me that, 'This is not Publix (supermarket chain) throughout all of Florida,' when I simply asked her to put the mayonnaise on the bread. She then continued her tirade of disrespect and moved on to the elderly couple next to me while smiling and carrying on a friendly conversation in stark contrast to the way she spoke to me. I told her that I was going to call after asking for her name. She told me, 'Call whoever you want.' It's not the first time I've dealt with her.

She is always unfriendly and rude.

As a so-called store owner, I would expect better service from her, but Shelby doesn't seem to care about greeting customers with a hello or good morning. Shelby's attitude is a complete sense of entitlement and intolerance, from what I have experienced.

When I entered the subway, there was this white guy sitting down at the table with his laptop. Two workers were behind the counter; one guy was working, the other guy was not.

Neither employee greeted me. They both walked to the back and got another guy from the back. The time that I placed my order was at 4:20 PM on 6/20/25. The guy that served me, I said, 'Your employees didn't want to serve me.' He didn't say anything and just kept making my food.

I sat down and took pictures of my wrap. I ate my food and watched how other customers, from different races and the same race, got served by all the employees and were treated better. I felt judged and not treated fairly. I didn't understand why.

Not only that, but I just knew I didn't like that feeling.

I wasn't rude to anyone in the restaurant from the time I entered until I left the subway. Check the cameras from 4:15 PM to 5:10 PM on 6/20/25.

I don’t know what’s more sad. Imagining you were profiled or caring.

That chip on your shoulder you walk around with combined with body language reflective of your paranoia in your post intimidates others.

Without you even speaking. Remember that the next time you falsely play victim.

Guest

Despite playing at being a victim, you continued to order your food, paid for it and accepted it. Apparently you ATE IT.

and taking pictures of it (weird) and no doubt you ate while you made others uncomfortable by sitting there, eating and staring. Why are you asking for a refund? You proceeded with the order and ate the food, therefore YOU pay for it. You aren't entitled to a refund and should be embarrassed to even ask.

Why should the company pay for your meal because you like to claim to be a victim?

Why should other customers pay increased food prices to cover the cost of the meal you know feel you are entitled to for free? As already pointed out, you have no idea what the employees had going on when you walked in there.

Guest

Another victim. You have no idea what they were busy doing when you arrived. Easy solution here, eat elsewhere.
