    I had a baguette express today and it was much nicer than subway, so is quesnos. If you had gone there you can have any 2 fillings plus salad in your baguette for £1.90 on a sunday.

    Why order BBQ anything if you don't like BBQ sauce?
    Squirrel!

    I thought the whole point of Subway was to take lots of money from you in exchange for a mediocre sandwich-like bread product.

    I've corrected that typo for you

    Esqui-because he likes the meat-he just doesn't like their sauce. He will eat BBQ ribs(real ones :) from the butchers with the sauce.
    tinktinktinkerbell-that was exactly my argument with them-that the sauce (at other franchises at least) is not added until the end.
    BlueAngel-I actually suspect that the service would actually of been superior had it been a non-english speaking worker as opposed to.......ll lol I will not actually type what I thought of them;)

    Subway brought a new ad campain where is 'the customer is number one'. Here.

    Clearly not in the OP case.

    exactly, thanks to the mountain of money we have all saved, we can all go to subway every day and bury our faces in Meatball Marinaras.

    If one is to assume here (feel free to correct me) that the rib in question doesn't have any kind of BBQ quality prior to sauce being added, I think it's perfectly understandable that the server assumed that you wanted BBQ sauce when you asked for a "BBQ rib".

    As for them being reluctant to make you another, most staff in these types of places get ripped to hell for spoilage, so that's probably why they were a bit upset. Not saying they were right to argue, but just giving you a bit of their perspective.

    It's really not something to obsess about. You got the replacement in the end. Just make sure you say "can I have a BBQ rib with no BBQ?" next time.
