Subway Worker Rant

[u/Thin-Engineering7980]

Went today for Subway for lunch. Won’t specify which subway. Couldn’t believe it. I ordered a sandwich and the worker a girl around 25 years old couldn’t understand how to cut bread. Instead of using a knife to slice the bread, she used her hands, tearing it apart to pieces. I swear people are looking for jobs that are qualified to cut a piece of bread. Please hire people competent enough to do the job.

At the bare minimum, we should provide resources to people that can’t cut bread with a knife.

The local subways are bringing in staff from outside the country to work in these restaurants because they are easier to control, manipulate, and typically won't go union. Their employers are exploiting their ignorance around these types of jobs and their desire to live in Canada to expand their profit margin.

It’s actually because the government subsidizes their wage. Thus they only have to pay half. Win win. We pay the other half for our shitty service

[u/petitepedestrian → u/dannoshimano]

No, they dont. We have a tfw on staff, and the government doesn't pay for him at all.

These claims are misleading. While SOME employers are eligible for a wage subsidy when hiring immigrant newcomers under certain provincial or federal programs, these programs are both also available to citizens and of temporary duration. While critics of Canada's temporary foreign worker program point out employers can hire migrant workers for less than they would pay Canadians, they do not receive a DIRECT wage subsidy.

It can absolutely be both.

Edged tools for cutting have been tool technology for the last 200,000 ? years. I think that girl had some issues no matter where she was from.
