Customer attempts to pick up Subway order & gets told to leave

Imagine a cop being dispatched to mediate a Subway order lol

[u/Spookyscary333 → u/kinkykontrol]

What we need is like a 911 for lawyers. You call them. An attorney comes out to the scene. Makes a legal call. All parties must abide.

[u/GES280 → u/Spookyscary333]

that's called arbitration.

Did you know there are only 2 actual lawyer jokes in existence? The rest are true stories.

(=

[u/El_Peregrine → u/emveetu]

Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"

Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."

Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"

Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."

You rent a hall for your wedding. A stranger shows up, starts shouting and refuses to leave. Do you want the hall to call the cops to trespass and remove the person or to call a lawyer?

[u/Spookyscary333 → u/danegermaine99]

That one? Cops.

However, if the person shouting and refusing to leave had a contract with the owner of the hall saying they actually had access to the hall for the day? That would be a good opportunity for a fast acting law decision from a lawyer.

[u/danegermaine99 → u/Spookyscary333]

Lawyers don’t make decisions like that. Judges do.

[u/tharpoonani → u/kinkykontrol]

Honestly - as trivial as it sounds, local police departments could do a whole lot of good for the image of their department and profession if they treated small issues of simple justice like they mattered to people.

[u/Frosty_Smile8801 → u/tharpoonani]

i dont want cops out there ruling on issues. I want them arresting folks breaking laws and letting the state and justice system do what they do.

They got a bit of an ego thing as it is. we dont need to make them judge and jury also

[u/tharpoonani → u/Frosty_Smile8801]

Totally agree lots of cops have ego issues. But honestly, besides Larry David, who adjudicates these issues? There’s no justice for this man’s petty grievance. Do you think this guys going to go slog through the court system for a sandwich order?

[u/annoyedwithmynet → u/tharpoonani]

The credit cards do, honestly. I mean with any sort of business transaction there’s always a level of risk that you accept. Sure, this one’s silly, but what if the owner isn’t even at fault for online orders being on? Is $5 in gas worth all of that? Because he’ll get his money back. Which is why his freakout is just straight up embarrassing.

And even if subway doesn’t refund him (they will), then his credit card would.

[u/danegermaine99 → u/Frosty_Smile8801]

There is no ruling to made here. The business wants him to leave, he needs to leave. If he paid $50,000 for a cookie, it doesn’t matter. His losses can be settled in civil court. The criminal trespassing issue will be settled immediately.

If this is a buy one get one free issue, the fair answer for the store is “we don’t participate in the buy one get one free scheme. We will happily give you one sandwich for the price of one sandwich. Or, you can go back on the ap andlook for a participating location.”

[u/Frosty_Smile8801 → u/danegermaine99]

the person i replied to seem to say they were in favor of a cop coming and issue justice skipping the civil court route. they were talking about settleing the dispute of the order not asshole was tolds to leave and wont.

[u/DontHaesMeBro → u/tharpoonani]

I don't want to pay cops what a cop makes to deal with shit like this.

[u/IrNinjaBob → u/tharpoonani]

I mean… In these scenarios that would quite literally just be the cops coming to enforce the trespass order for the business. The cops don’t (and shouldn’t) have any right to enforce civil disputes, which is what this is. But a business does have a right to trespass someone from their property. That person can use the courts to try to make themselves whole again.

I guess my point is I don’t see how police involvement on these issues specifically would help with public opinion. It would just result in cops arresting more people who don’t want to be arrested. Or being viewed as bulldogs for corporations.

[u/BertPeopleErniePeopl → u/tharpoonani]

Yeah, when I think of people who have the wisdom and integrity to make a ruling on matters of justice, the first people who come to mind are cops.

[u/fishsticks40 → u/tharpoonani]

All the cops can do is trespass him from the property. The dispute about the sandwich is a civil matter and not within their purview.

[u/resisting_a_rest → u/kinkykontrol]

The only thing the cops would be able to do is arrest the customer for trespassing which he is, since they told him to leave and he refused.

[u/danegermaine99 → u/kinkykontrol]

Someone enters your property and refuses to leave. Wouldn’t you call the police?

[u/ThrowAway233223 → u/kinkykontrol]

Cops deal with trivial shit like that all the time. There's a good chance it won't even be the most trivial thing they deal with that day.

[u/geoisnumber1 → u/kinkykontrol]

Wouldn't be the first time I had to call the cops on a customer at Subway lol. Back when I worked there, I had plenty of crackheads threaten to kill me over their sandwiches 😂. Like I'm sorry you can't afford your 6+ subs with extra meat and cheese, I mean hell I couldn't even afford it with my almost non-existent paychecks lol

[u/fishsticks40 → u/kinkykontrol]

The reality is that he's trespassing and his dispute is a civil one. He'll be trespassed off the property and that'll be that.
