Right or Wrong? Jimmy John’s Employee Throws Out Sandwich After Refusing Cash
There’s a new debate taking over the internet. Now, whether it’s right or wrong depends on your view and interpretation of the rules. A Jimmy John’s employee is going viral for throwing out a customer’s sandwich after refusing to accept cash.
The register was down, so the business was not accepting cash that day. However, that’s all this customer had on him when he realized he didn’t have his card with him. That’s where the story begins.
Jimmy John’s Employee Throws Out Sandwich After Refusing Cash
According to Dexerto, the employee warned the customer that the were unable to accept cash that day due to an issue with the register. Then, they made the sandwich only for the man to make it clear that all he had with him was cash. So, the employee refused to give the customer their sandwich. Rules are rules, right?
Well, the customer doesn’t seem to think so. He demanded that the employee give him the sub for free since it’s already made and that’s a better option than it going into the trash. However, the customer wasn’t willing to take any risks. In a video captured by the customer (we’ll get to that later), you can see the employee say, “I’m not gonna risk my job for you. Because you can’t pay…I’m not going to do anything for you, I can’t accept cash today. I’m not going to give you a free sandwich and risk my job for you.”
I’ve found myself in some similiar situations before. One time, after getting a hair cut I learned I couldn’t use card. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that until after the barber was done. Thankfully, they allowed me to run to a nearby bank and return to pay. They didn’t have to do that. I was glad they did, however.
It’s unfortunate! Obviously, anyone would love a free sub. However, is he entitled to one? If he was warned you can’t pay with cash then he should have known he was going to need his card. The employees can’t be expected to give product away for free. Sure, if the employee was flush with cash he could havea put it on his own card. However, he wasn’t willing to do that and I can’t blame him. Especially after seeing how the customer reacted.
