SnazzyBlumpkin Yeah food service can be pretty simple and isn't too stressful in of itself but unless you've worked at a popular location that has constant impatient customers nonstop then it's true that you don't know how stressful it can be. It requires a LOT of multitasking without really ever stopping to take a break.
You remind me of me. I started my first retail job a few months ago and I've slowly been trying to come in earlier and earlier to get off... Earlier. I'll get to 3am eventually
This is exaclty the kind of dude you wanna work with. The enthusiasm is high and he gets shit done. So many people are so low energy about it. I know Subway isn't a dream job for a lot of people but you gotta make the best of it while you are there.
lmao i feel this. but it looks like they prepped other stuff though as he says he's gonna have an easy morning i'd rather someone do the time consuming stuff instead of the easy shit and leave a bunch of little things to do the next day.
Sometimes the RU-vid algorithm presents you with a beautiful gem like this, for nearly 39 minutes I was captivated! A guy and his camera showing you what it's like to work a real job that deserves much more respect, and pay than he receives.
The work they do isn’t why they’re underpaid. It’s dealing with the people. Especially from a huge company like this. You have to just take the cruelty. This guy has a great attitude too. Randell from clerks has it right.
I disagree. Fast food was the easiest most thankless job I’ve ever worked. It’s meant for high schoolers to dip their toes in the work world. Not to support a family.
Worked at subway for 5 years, senior year of highschool and all throughout college. One of the best jobs I ever had, mainly because of the people I worked with but also the easiest. Get your work done, deal with customers and then you can chill. I did so much of my homework at subway because I learned to be super efficient. Took home cookies to all my friends. Making your own sandwiches (miss this the most, especially since when you go they don't make it nearly the way you'd make it yourself.) Close-knit teams are the best part though. Found out I love working in small groups. Every job since its been a deal breaker for me if I wasn't working with a small team. On top of that I was super shy in highschool. Subway brought me out of my shell and now I'm probably overly social. Have subway to thank for so many things. Best man at my wedding, became. Literally getting happy over typing this because its bringing back so many memories. I don't even care if people don't read this. Maybe I should start journaling? Man I could tell you guys some stories about subway let me tell you.
I am a new employee to Subway. I can tell you that you will be shown the ropes, and not be opening the store right away. My manager said she'd see how I do and then MAYBE do an opening shift.
This guy legit should be a 20 buck an hour manager, this professionalism makes owners money, makes co workers have an easier day, and makes sure customers are taken care of, if you disagree, you are in the minority opinion.
Unfortunately capitalism especially these massive corporations fail to do this...the rich fatcat share owners sit back and make money from this guys hard work and pay him too little !
$20 may be pushing it. I'm onboard with $12-15 with REAL and ACTUAL opportunity for growth within the company tho. The job he's doing is entry level, but the dedication he puts towards it and the knowledge he has for this particular location is valuable. I'm assuming that any corporate level position is gate kept by the infamous college degree and any local management just goes to franchise's friends (which would be a damn shame). But i hope i'm wrong.
Its unfortunate guys like this are worth so much more...these are the guys that make the store money really.Think we all knew a guy like him,the market though dictates your pay sorry to say.
Many subways got rid of managers when they were forced to pay exempt employees more than like 22,000. The "manager" at my local one made like 440/wk and worked at least 50 hours a week often times much more and was almost always "on call" if one of the hourlies missed a shift....
@@pullt That is so low....$440/week ...no kidding...and 50 hrs..didn"t know they rid of managers like that either.If someone is paid that shitty , maybe time to make another plan or career move. Good guy, he will find something I hope,taking the first step is hardest.
As someone who has worked within the vocational education industry, I can tell you that students would get more from this 40-minute video than many hours of "educational content". I often think of this video many months since I have watched it. This is amazing. It is raw and in a lot of ways.. educational. It's like being with an experienced employee on day one as they show you through the real workings of a business. Thank you for making this.
Honestly nothing out of the normal. You get overworked for shit pay. You're "expected" (required) to get all of this done at the start of your shift. That, and the sooner you are prepared, the easier it is on your coworkers and for customers. If everybody would be prepared this well this early, it'd go a lot smoother.
Pepper 526 tbh, i’ve had “gourmet” cookies with all different types of flavors and still that sweet taste of raspberry and the cheesecake bit on that subway cookie is unmatched. they got crack cocaine in that shit
3:16 "Looks like I might have an easy morning this morning, shit." -- Man, as someone who used to close and did prep for the morning people, I loved hearing this. I never see them so I never get appreciated! 😂😂
29:25 that just made me so happy. I love this guy. He's genuinely sweet and doesn't take any of it too seriously, even when he's being a little down earlier on in this documentary. I think I teared up more than he did when he sliced those onions.
@@Carcosahead Fast food is hospitality work. A lot of the stuff he did in this video can be applied to cafe, restaurant and bar work. Prep, maitenance and talking to customers are all things youd do in a hospo job.
@@Carcosahead nah he doesn't. Restaurants are more likely to be short staffed and rely on you to do multiple tables of people by yourself also prep and cook food. Fast food joints will have 10 fully capable idiots choosing not to help each other or do the work efficiently. There's a difference
Trevor Carter not true sadly. I work at McDonald’s opening shift when it’s most busy time of day and we should have 10 people clocked in but we only have 2-4 people on average. That leaves us openers with 2-4 people for a job that requires 8-10 people. Then of course on top of that we got the people that choose to call in to work 10 min before their shift so we scramble to find someone else to cover them but nobody picks up because everyone knows how fucked morning shifts are.
I remember when I first started working at a restaurant.... I was a new dishwasher at the time and like a few days later my manager got mad that I was slow at it... I'm really glad that I stopped going because now I have a better job
This is such a gem. This man doesn’t like his job, but takes the time to vlog his day anyways. Doesn’t complain about the things that aren’t perfect, he also talks so passionately about doing things right even tho he had no idea if anyone would even watch the video or care. Plus, does it all with one hand.
@@DogmadawgMAMR living life can mean different things to many. Your life is what you make of it, and this man truly is a gem for keeping up with his struggle. Praying for his breakthrough 🙏.
Those saying no one searched for this, I think I may be the only one that did. Back when I was in high school I was looking at working at subway and searched a day in the life and this came up haha.
This dude has a positive attitude despite working a 9 to 5, has a DREAMCAST, and isn't afraid to flex his power level with his anime figures in the background. This dude is alright in my book.
This man is so content with his life even though he works fast food I realized how a uneventful life can actually be pretty fine being happy over the small things like video games and such
Milad represent the idealistic version of working at Subway/a fast food chain, where everything is fine and perfect , while this video represents the hard ,awful reality of working there
We honestly don't give enough praise to amazing human beings like this guy. They are up early throughout the week working like bloody troopers at jobs most of us would never dream of working at, yet they are there every day working wonders behind-the-scenes for our benefit, and we never see them, let alone acknowledge their tremendous effort. We should being be throwing parties for them every other weekend! Awesome job dude!
I love the restaurant opening shift vibes. Love the opens at my job, having to be at work at 5:30am sucks but it leaves my day wide open. Plus being by myself getting stuff done listening to the radio is so relaxing, compared to when the restaurant actually opens lmao
Nothing worse than a customer ordering a steak and cheese, then you remember that you forgot to thaw the meat. then they ask for a meatball sub instead, and you remember that you forgot to thaw those too. Happened more than it didn't.
Or the last customer comes in to an actual restaurant and wants a filet mignon. Stuck trimming a whole loin and portioning steaks. After everything is cleaned waiting for the clock to run out. All bc he's the boss "friend"...
my first day at subway employee: okay so lets teach you how to open me: oh I already know how employee: oh you worked at a subways before? me: nah I just watched a youtube video
It’s become my tradition every six months to return and watch this video again. Not sure why, maybe because I worked at Subway for a few months as a teenager, maybe it’s the wholesome content during the whole video. Either way, I always find myself just sitting back and relaxing during it.
Yep. Me to. I have anxiety for tmr, got to wake up at 3 am for opening shift at McDonald’s, and can’t sleep right now every new video I watch is less time to sleep😂😂
I love the Harvester of Sorrow by metallica. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------3--2------------5--3--2----------3--2-----------0------------- -------2---------------2-------------------2---------------0------------0--- ---0---------------0-------------------0---------------3------------1-------
Bro you’re hilarious man. Just finished a long ass shift & laughed my ass off. Ur a great dude. Thanks RU-vid for randomly popping this gem of a vid on my page 😂💪
I'd love to have such a cool, laid back, manager like you! It makes people look forward to work! You're a hard worker and good at what you do. Subway was my first job at 16 and I loved it. I worked from 4:30pm till 9pm. I remember making the tuna and chicken teriyaki, all the prep work. That was 20 years ago and we didnt have soups, wraps, salads and cookies. Theres much more to do now but that makes the time fly by. Seems just like yesterday when I was working there. Good times. I subbed. 👍
Bramble Tucker I know that he reminded me of someone! He’s so wholesome and friendly and his videos are like the old youtube vlogs, something refreshing in this pandemic.
New subscriber! I need a second job and have been watching different “come to work with me” videos at fast food places to decide where to apply and you’re the only one I’ve seen that makes their work day seem pleasant! So many have such a sour attitude. I think I might apply at my local subway. Thanks for the inside view.
I worked at a subway and this brings back fond memories. I just dig being alone. And I LOVE sandwiches. Days where I would be in the store alone, shoulder to shoulder with the aroma of bread and cold cuts was a very calming time.
Ultimate Eggman during the work day heck yeah. But it only takes 1 person to open and close a sandwich shop. Those building are often 2,000 square feet MAX and often have a set of solo bathrooms.
Freshouttheoven nothing to it. Put the cold stuff either in the walk-in or on the cold table. Count a little money. And make sure no one’s getting frisky in the bathroom. Hit a light. Wash rinse repeat.
"That's making weird sounds, eh we'll see in 7 minutes." Never have I seen the fast food industry described so accurately, it's really just normal people trying to make the best with what they got, because the suits just shrug at you when you say anything about it
This is bringing back so many memories... I used to work at Subway, and watching this makes me feel like working my last opening shift was yesterday rather than 6 years ago.
