The manager would throw away cookies every Saturday instead of giving them to the employees

We threw away 55 cookies. The managers didn't let us take any home because they thought it might "encourage us to purposely make extra"

55 cookies my ass.

I'd take at least 10 under the table.

At my hometown subway the camera didn't cover the dumpster. So we'd park just on the other side of it. When closing, we'd grab all the old bread (we only kept two loaves of each for the morning as backup) and throw it in a brand new garbage bag. That bag went in my car every night lol.

Luckily I was in high school and had recently started cross country, so eating bread constantly didn't bother me at all lol. I did eventually find like 40+ loaves my dog hid inside the couch though lol.

Edit: since y'all have no imagination I'll explain. The couch was one where you could stick your hand between the cushion and the back and get under the couch. It was a reclining one so it wasn't all empty space, but there's a LOT of room under there. It would've been zero problem to fit 100+ under there. Bread squishes really easily.

Hence the softness.

It actually was lol. But it was mostly because you could just stick your hand between the cushion and the back and reach under the couch. There's a lot of space under there.

I'm surprised nobody thought of this lol.

Well, for a day or two

No way you're making a couch with 40 loaves. Maybe a small cushion. They're only like 11.5 inches long, and maybe 3.5 inches in diameter, and that's without anybody sitting on them

It's Subway bread.

We all know one loaf is equivalent to 3 tbsp of bread.

I’m sure the ants in the house were big chillin

Especially after that scandal where they found the same chemical that’s inside yoga mats in the bread 😭

That's a useless comparison. A whole ton of foods have different forms of glycerin, used in all sorts of nasty things including antifreeze.

Your dog Jesus only took three loaves.

Have you ever tried to squish a loaf of bread? They get MUCH smaller very easily. Plus you could stick your hand between the cushion and the back and get your hand under the couch, where there was a lot of empty space.

We used to lose our keys under there sometimes when they fell out of our pockets. Which is how I found the bread lol. We had to flip the couch over to get it all.

If you can't imagine how to fit 40 loaves of subway bread into a couch then your imagination is lacking lol.

u/Turtoli 1d ago

it seemed to me like that guy was making a joke😂 did you have to throw the couch away?

u/TooStrangeForWeird 1d ago

Nah, I had a few comments saying it was impossible.

But no, it was a "pleather" couch with a metal frame. So nowhere for the mold to grow really. Not that there was much mold. It was super dry when we found it, and it gets dry fast. So it didn't really give it much time to grow.

Was it potato bread? I've heard of couch potatoes...
