To the douchebag working at the “submarine sandwich” fast food chain on Argyle st: Put on a damn gas mask if you can’t handle a little colgne. I understand people have allergies to scents, but if you plan on working in the public sector, expect to deal with scents. Put on a gas mask and make me a roasted chicken sub! You have kicked me and numerous others out of your store because someone (not even me) was wearing cologne. When the culprit admitted to it and left, you still refused to serve me! after ordering me to leave, you made your way to the front of the store where you lit up a smoke. Its funny how cigarettes don’t bother your allergies but scents do? get a new job or invest in a bubble you poor excuse of a human being

Give him a taste of his own medicine, Subless. Why not lodge a complaint for his violation of the Smoke-Free Places law?
Ok, you obviously didn’t get it when I explained myself the other 5 times, so I’ll use small words this time.People bath in cologne and aftershaveI get migranes when around artificial scents.I would have served you if you had not stood there and argued with me, but you decided you absolutely must, so I asked you to leave regardless.There are people with allergic reactions to scents so bad that it could lead to death.As far as the smoke goes, I was out front of my store (The only place there is to smoke while the store is open) because I had to do something to get rid of the coating my mouth had received from the cologne.Next time, don’t come into a store and start arguing with the clerk. We do reserve the right to refuse service to people
I forgot to mention that I also have a sign posted on the door every night and people still play stupid and decide they can try to kill me.
Wow Gina. You really do need a career change. You won’t.. uuhh uuuh.. no no.. you’ll succeed in this city. There’s always going to be a moron that will buy from you.
So, I’m supposed to sit there and take it while I suffocate because some idiot didn’t bother to read the sign on the door? I dont think so. I’m downtown on Argyle Street by myself until 4:30 AM dealing with drunk idiots. I don’t have time to figure out who’s wearing thwe cologne. The store in question pays me to make subs. They don’t pay me enough to care whether I’ve interrupted your drinking night or not. I don’t get to have a life because I get to serve morons all week long. I have to survive. Cram it.
It’s not that I am unsympathetic to your sensitivity to smells, but since you are the one with the medical condition, isn’t it your responsibility to protect yourself? Your job is to serve the public, which is bound to involve scented people. They don’t go getting drenched in cologne just to “try and kill you”, they do it to pick up at the bars at night and end up in your establishment afterwards. It really doesn’t seem reasonable to insist that people leave the store because of your sensitivities…even if you have posted a sign. And it doesn’t seem fair to the business to have you kicking people out for wearing cologne. Maybe you could work another shift or at another store where people are less likely to be all spritzed up for an evening out.
Gina, I believe you only have one solution. Stay home and quit your job. You can’t be out in public. If that’s the case, when your walking around downtown in public, you’ll have a posse of people just creating a certain space between you and the people walking in the same are. Why? All because of your intolerance to cologne. I’m sorry, did you say Argyle street Sub place. hahahaha.. I’m gonna take a camera with me next time i’m down there. I have to take a picture of that so called sign and post it on the internet and show the friendliness and welcoming attitude of the maritimes. No wonder the crews of the clippers race was so bored and actually disappointed for being here! No no, I’m gonna take that last statement you said, print it in large bold letter and post it on your store. This way you won’t have to worry about customers bothering you and not having a life. Miles.. If she leaves, she has nothing to complain about and no one to bother and throw out all the time. How can she survive then?! She needs something to keep her going since she doesn’t really seem to have that much of a life. So she says!
To the douche that apparently still works at the argyle submarine sandwich restaurant: you’re still a douche! You make it seem as though I went into your restaurant looking to argue and start up a fight. Really, all I was doing was trying to get some food between games at the IIHF hockey tournament. Here’s where it gets juicy to all you readers out there. It was a few German fans in front of my buddy and I. They were the culprits. They are the ones that were wearing the cologne. This happened at 6:30pm.. My buddy and I hadn’t even started drinking yet. We simply wanted some grub before we began drinking to celebrate Canada’s win! When you began chirping everyone in line that you weren’t going to serve us because you could smell cologne, we ignored you. Why would it matter to us if we aren’t wearing any scents? Finally, after telling us a few times that you wouldn’t serve anyone because the culprit wouldn’t leave, I had to explain to the German hockey fans that they weren’t going to get their foot-long roasted chicken on white because they were wearing cologne. They could barely understand English so I needed to use sign language and English to explain what cologne was. When they finally knew what it was, they admitted it was them and said they would leave. This left only my buddy and I standing there dumbfounded at what we had just witnessed. We figured the coast was clear, and we could place our order now that the people who had scents on had left but NO! YOU wouldn’t serve us! You came out from behind the counter and got right in my buddies face (with kids and other customers in the building) and demanded we leave. You then grabbed a smoke and stood right in front of the EATING ESTABLISHMENT and puffed away like the cigarette was some form of gratification for a job well done. You should be ashamed of yourself. I also have another friend (that after I told this story to, also got kicked out about 2 weeks later) for wearing a scent. You have the wrong attitude to be working in the service industry there buck. Maybe you should consider a job in computer programming or policing the streets for people wearing scents. As for some of your arguments you make in previous posts:You say “I had to do something to get rid of the coating my mouth had received from the cologne”. I’m sure there are more healthy alternatives to achieving a fresh throat and mouth rather then inhaling numerous toxins contained in tobacco. On top of this, you stood right on the sidewalk in front of your store and blew smoke into the lungs of myself and my buddy as we walked by. Haven’t you ever thought people can have severe allergies to smoke? You don’t seem to be concerned about others’ allergies to foreign scents do you? As for your comment regarding your restaurants’’ wages (“They don’t pay me enough to care”). Maybe you should find a job in which they do pay you enough to care. Instead of using your allergies for excuses for your pathetic failure of a life, you should get over the fact you have a disadvantage in life and deal with it. Rather then fret about it, get over it. Buy a fucking gas mask and shut the fuck up. Or apply for a job that has strict policies about scents. There are many options out there for you, you just have to be willing to change a bit. But you are too involved in yourself and think we should all cater to you’re weakness and bow down to you because you are “special”. Get over yourself and stop hiding behind your illness.
1. I know if I was the owner and / or manager of this franchise, I wold want to know about this employee’s rotten behavior.2. “I’m sure there are more healthy alternatives to achieving a fresh throat and mouth rather then inhaling numerous toxins contained in tobacco.” I have a suggestion…
Ok, listen. I no longer work for subway. This needs to die now.
