I think that everyone at some point in their life should work in a fast-food or retail job.

Not to improve their work ethic or anything, but so that everyone knows what it's like to have that kind of job.

They wouldn't work in fast-food their whole lives, maybe just like, for six months.

Just so they get a feel for it.

So with that, let's talk about the time when I worked in fast food.

I used to work at a very small, local, sandwich shop.

I don't know if any of you guys heard of it, it's called SOOUBWAY?

Our spokesperson was in the news recently.

I don't know if you guys look at the news.

Did you hear he got beat up in jail?

I kinda want to meet the person who beat up Jared, more than Jared.

Not in person, we wouldn't meet in person, obviously.

But like, he would be behind bars, and I would just look at the guy who beat up my spokesperson.

How many people get to say that they beat up a fast-food icon, who was also a pedophile?

Only one, and it's that guy.

Okay but seriously guys, working at Subway was probably one of the most easiest jobs out there.

I don't know what I'm about to complain about it to you guys.

We got free cookies! And you know the comic with the Subways in Hell?

I was actually working at Subway when I made that comic.

I just think it had sort of a little bit of value to it.

You see, the owners, who were husband and wife...

Can you believe it? ...of the Subway I worked at, owned two stores.

One of the Subway stores was in a Walmart, on an Indian Reservation, 'cause we have those in Arizona, and the other Subway...

...was the Subway I worked at.

And since the Walmart store was always busy, the owners would spend 99% of their time at that store.

So I didn't really have a boss, most of the time. On the off-chance the owners did show up, they would just pick up some food and then they would make sure I was making sandwiches the right way.

And every time I made a sandwich in front of them, they would always find something wrong with it, without fail.

YOU PUT ON TOO MANY OLIVES.

Do you know, according to the Subway formula, you're only supposed to put on 6 olives on a foot long?

SIX!..... One for every other bite.

That's just ridiculous! Can you imagine someone just counting out 6 olives?

Nobody does that!

I usually worked the closing shift, and at the end of the night, we would turn the alarm and we would have 60 seconds to get out of the store.

But one time, I had the opening shift.

So I unlocked the door to get in with my key, and the alarm went, meaning I had 60 seconds to turn it off.

No big deal, right?

I turned the alarm on all the time when I was closing.

So I go to the little control panel, and I type in the code, and nothing happens.

The beeping is still there and the clock is still ticking down.

So I go, "Okay, I'm going to press each button very carefully.

I'm going to make sure each button makes a beep when I press it." Nothing still happens.

So I go, "OKAY! I'm going to make sure to press each button, VERY CAREFULLY!" And I start thinking, did they change the pass code without telling me?

Was the only pass code I know, so we're just gonna try it again.

And I press each button, very carefully.

And it goes quiet...

AND THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF!

I still had, like, 20 seconds left, but I guess when you get it wrong 3 times, it automatically assumes that you're a burglar.

So while the alarm is going off, I look on the contact sheet for the owner's cell phone number, I step outside, I call him, and he doesn't pick up.

So I go back inside, find the number for the other Subway store, they open an hour before we do, Someone picks up with their stupid voice, "Oh, thank you for calling Subway, I'm...

...how may I help you?" And I go, "Hey, is Mike there?" That's not his real name guys, don't worry.

And they go, "Um, just a minute." Yeah, sure, I have all the time in the world. The cops might be on their way, but take your time.

So, Mike picks up.

MIKE: y-hello JAMES: Hey Mike, this is James. Uh, what's the pass code for the alarm?

MIKE: Who is this?

JAMES: It's James. What's the passcode?

MIKE: What are you doing there James?

JAMES: WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING THE QUESTION?

I have the opening shift.

MIKE: Is the alarm going off?

JAMES: Yeah. No one told me the new code.

MIKE: Yeah, we changed it. It's the last 4 digits of your social security number.

JAMES: Oh, oh, okay. Thanks Mike.

I DON'T KNOW MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER!

So I finally get the alarm off, no one showed up, thankfully.

Which, I actually don't know if that's a good thing or not, now that I say it out loud.

We did have a store manager who would, like, make the schedule and sometimes tell us, "Hey, can you guys do a better job at...

your job?" But other than that, she was cool!

She watches my videos and so do her little brothers, They're big fans. Shout out to Ivan and Andy.

Those are the brothers.

So get this, at Subway, you only work with one other person.

Just you and them in an empty Subway for 5 hours.

I mean we weren't, like, empty all the time. Okay?

And when you're not making sandwiches, you have other stuff to do like, stocking the chips or...

...we had stuff to do.

But okay, we did watch a lot of Netflix and do homework, so I mean...

That other person you worked with, would make or break your entire shift.

It wasn't the annoying customers. I kinda got used to annoying customers.

So I worked with a lot of crappy people.

And I also worked with a lot of people who I would probably never become friends with except in a work setting.

You see, you got to understand the type of people who got jobs at Subway.

Potheads. Most of them were potheads.

AND SOME OF THEM WERE REALLY COOL!

I'm just gonna go over a couple of the characters that I worked with.

There was Tyler, I freakin love this guy. He smoked a lot of weed.

He actually told me what vaping was, and he got me into Clash of Clans.

I actually mentioned him and his girlfriend in my riddles video.

I don't know if I ever told him that.

And of course I have to mention Corey, he was cool.

We watched "How To Get Away With Murder" on Netflix, and I've also hung outside with him outside of work.

What him and Tyler had in common is that they would actually do their job, Which you got to appreciate.

Then there was this guy.

And get this, I can say these things. He's dosen't watch my videos.

There's Sarah. She was cool. She make me a bread bowl, and her boyfriend, Jay.

He talked about chacras and...

...third eyes, he was...

interesting.

And also, there's Anthonee. He's cool.

What's up Anthonee!

For the hundred thousand sprinkles video, I actually went back to Subway to use their scale because I knew they had one, and we counted 500 sprinkles again just to be more accurate for the hundred thousand, and Anthonee helped me count.

100

Instead of working.

101

I mean, at least he got paid...

102

...minimum wage for it.

103

So 2 more stories, before I go.

104

One time...

105

Jared asked to take out this pile of trash, and I was like, "Oh, okay, I'll just put this pile of trash in the dumpster." And as I was taking it out, I saw that there was a chip poster in the pile.

106

And I thought, "This is too cool to throw away. I'm going to keep it." So I took it home with me, and then the next day, when I went in, people were saying, "Oh, where's the chip poster?

107

We can't find the chip poster! We ha- We haven't seen it anywhere!" And I'm thinking, "I have the poster." I decide not to tell anyone that I had the poster, and it's still hanging up in my room.

108

Sorry boss if you're finding out about this now.

109

Okay, then the other story, I was working with the manager and we were just making sandwiches like usual, and I noticed that when we toasted a sandwich, it would burn the paper a little on the edges.

110

"That probably shouldn't be happening." So then a customer asks for just bacon toasted.

111

And the boss lady put some bacon on paper, and then puts it in the toaster.

112

And we don't have a setting for just bacon.

113

So then when she opens the toaster, There was a fire, on the bacon!

114

So then she starts to wack it with the little, metal, tray thing, but all she ended up doing was fanning the flames, making the fire bigger. "Uh, you got this, right?" Then I went in the back and I got the fire extinguisher and I actually used it!

115

I single-handedly saved that Subway!

116

Wait. What have I done?

117

BOSS LADY: Is it okay if the bacon's a little crispy?

118

And has nitrogen and carbon dioxide stuff on it?

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
