> Accidentally ordered from the wrong store and realised immediately, so I called straight away to try cancel it before it was made. The staff member I spoke to was really dismissive and rude, just said “can’t do that” in a tone like they didn’t care at all. I understand mistakes happen and maybe cancellations aren’t always possible, but the way it was handled was pretty poor. A bit of basic customer service or even just explaining things properly would’ve made a big difference., Jasmine Fenwick, 5 months ago
> Went in at 9:49pm, they close at 10pm. Stood waiting for 2 mins and then elderly guy says sorry we are closed… and that the last 10 mins they don’t serve anyone. Even though when I arrived it was 9:49pm? So he was being lazy. Maybe change your hours to close at 9:50pm and people wont show up. Considering the money I had already spent here being my local it is slightly frustrating., Lathyn Seuren-Downes, a year ago
> So pissed off when they can’t even get your order right. Minimal ingredients. Shocking. There’s no way to complain. No number etc. no more subway. Disappointing 👎, Michelle Gilchrist, a year ago
