Subway workers describe the ‘strangest orders’ they’ve ever made

reveals some of the more unusual concoctions workers have been asked to put together, including a mayonnaise sandwich.

Most of the responses appear to be from the chain's US staff but it's likely fans here in the UK have asked for similar options too.

Here are some of the orders workers say they've been asked to make:

Toasted to 'perfection'

One worker says he had a regular customer who liked his Subway toasted for so long that it was "basically charcoal".

He wrote: "First time he came in while I was on shift, I pulled his sandwich out of the toaster and he told me to put it back in... and again... and again.

"Apparently he really liked the taste of burnt everything."

Green-fingered approach

Subway does offer vegetarian and vegan options - in the UK it has a veggie delight, meatless meatball marinara, and a vegan patty - but some people just want the salad.

One worker wrote on the Reddit thread: "I worked at a Subway a long time ago and a guy would order two full bags of lettuce on his sandwich every day."

Extra saucy

For others, it appears none of the fillings will satisfy them like a sandwich simply stuffed full of Subway's condiments and sauces.

One worker commented that they were asked to make a 6-inch Sub with "just condiments" - "all of them";.

Another added: "Used to have a guy come in regularly to order a foot long on white, double mayo, salt, pepper. He then sat in the lobby and ate the whole thing."

In the UK, Subway's sauce range includes chipotle southwest, regular mayonnaise, honey mustard, and sweet onion.

Extra olives

One Subway customer said they saw someone order a sandwich with just olives in, nothing else.

They wrote: "Not a Subway employee but I was once standing behind a guy that said "just f- me up with olives" and the woman working behind the counter proceeded to put two handfuls of olives on a 6-inch sub and the bloke goes "perfect"."

Just cheese please

A number of staff members said customers regularly asked for just cheese; no dressings or salad - a simple cheese roll - and sometimes not even toasted.

One worker wrote: "I worked at Subway many years ago. There was a couple that would come in semi-regularly and she wanted just a double helping of American cheese on white bread.

"No veggies, no condiments. Just cheese."

Here in the UK you can pick from processed cheddar or Monterey cheddar.

A Subway spokesperson said: "At Subway, all our Subs, salads and wraps are freshly made to order with guests able to customise these to suit their own tastes and preferences – however weird and wonderful they may be!

"From tomorrow guests will be able to make any Sub into a wrap or salad. That’s over 62million flavour combinations that guests can try by adding sauces, salads and toppings to have their meal exactly how they like it."

Subway angered fans last year by ditching 12 items from its menu including ranch dressing and peppered cheese.

The sandwich chain closed all UK shops on March 23 due to coronavirus.

But since July it's been reopening branches for takeaways and deliveries.
