Subway, BIG disappointment
Subway veggie menu.xlsx
So please if you know how to contact the owner let me know. I think the owner needs to know that this employee can not read.

Re: Subway, BIG disappointment
Instead of expecting an employee to read, why didn't your husband read from your document and/or point?
These are low paying jobs and reading may not be a requirement.
Personally I would need a far better reason to report any employee to their boss, lest they get fired.

"Husband went to Subway today to buy 2 veggie delite subs. Being the considerate person I am...I had printed out exactly what we wanted IN ESPANOL."
Somebody can't read??? LOL. Like the folks bashing Bisbee Gal?

I haven't a clue as to what you mean. No one's bashing me, do you mean bashing the OP, barbie cheesecake??
Are you saying the employee should have been able to read the note; do you know whether that is a job requirement??
Are you assuming the husband is deaf, dumb and blind and unable to see what the employee was putting on the sandwich? Unable to read and speak literally SIX WORDS of SIMPLE RESTAURANT SPANISH?
Are you OK with the OP wanting to report the employee and possibly get her fired, just because she had a bad lunch that her husband could have and should have avoided for her?
I've been to that Subway in the past; AFAIK it is configured like all other Subways on the planet. The meats, cheeses, veg, condiments are set out in a window that the customer faces. The entire assembly process is in view of the customer. Most people automatically say and point to what they want.
As Mudgirl said, "Fire the husband!"

I read it, and I read your post. I even downloaded barbie's document and saw that it was in both Spanish and English. Again, I do not know nor would I assume that any employee can read, in any language including their native tongue.
I know workers here who sign documents with an "X" because they cannot write their own name.
I stand by my responses to her and to you.

Personally, I don't buy food from Subway. Much better sandwiches elsewhere.

Looks like you're the one who can't read :
I think we all read the OP just fine. Writing out the order isn't how you order a Subway sandwich. And the OP's husband could easily have pointed to the sandwiches they wanted on the menu.

And yes I do speak some Spanish but I wasn't there. Also I grew up very poor & when we moved here (after we BOTH lost jobs in the States) we took house sitting jobs and I baked and cooked for the local tianguis. OUCH

Re: Subway, BIG disappointment
I'm not sure what growing up poor and baking and cooking for the tianguis has to do with any of this. I should think it would, if anything, make you reticent to report a low paid worker instead of taking some responsiblity for your husband looking at cookies instead of the sandwiches she was making. Or just laughing the whole thing off. It's not like the wrong kidney got removed by an incompetent doctor.

...and how would we feel if reporting the experience would result in getting negative feedback from other web posters?

Re: Subway, BIG disappointment
How many times do you think it happens that someone writes out their Subway order and hands it to the employee and then pays no attention to what the employee is putting on the sandwich? I would venture a guess that there aren't any other "enough incidents like this".
And the employee is tasked with making sandwiches. That's what they are "qualified for", not reading an order someone just hands them.

And yet you did disparage the abilities of the Subway employee and wanted to report them to their boss.

You belittled the Subway employee and wanted to report her.
And I would never chastize another adult telling them their behavior is"unbecoming", as if I were some headmistress.
