A stray dog living on the streets of New Mexico has melted the hearts of people all over the world after a Subway employee shared videos of her visiting the restaurant.
The Sandwich Artist also revealed that the pup has been visiting the same branch of Subway in Portales every night for the last year.
The clips were originally shared online by TikTok user and Subway employee @kxnuko. In his now-viral posts, he says:
"This stray dog has been coming to Subway every night for the past year. We always feed her. Her name is Subway Sally.
"So she’s back. Today I’ve got her some chicken. She’s kind of messy though. […] If we’re too late to give her food, she’ll just go across the street to Taco Bell."
Check out 'Subway Sally' in the adorable video below:
Subway Sally can be seen in the videos patiently waiting outside the doors of the sandwich shop, with eager anticipation on her face. Naturally, the staff are all-to-happy to oblige to Subway Sally, and she tucks into meals of leftover chicken and bacon. The staff then let her wash down the meal with a cup of water.
Documenting Sally’s nightly routine using a series of three TikTok videos, Kxnuko revealed how he and his coworkers will pull on their gloves and serve their most loyal customer each and every evening.
Understandably, people online couldn't get enough of Subway Sally, and she soon became a hot topic on Twitter - with many users pleading for somebody did give her a home in 2020.
Kxnuko revealed that Sally's fur is in such good condition because a kind lady who works at a neighboring flower shop takes the time to give her an occasional bath. The employee also says that he cannot adopt Sally because he has five cats at home, and the nearest animal shelter has a "high kill rate".
Let's hope Sally finds her forever home soon (and let's hope it's near a Subway).
When you're traveling somewhere far from home, and you're feeling lonely in the evenings, it's only natural that you might yearn for the comforting friendliness of a canine companion. Sadly, most hotels have strict no-dog policies, which means that sharing your room with a cute puppy has always been a pipe dream ... until now.
Recently this stray dog named Subway Sally went viral on TikTok for her cuteness:
That's right: An amazing hotel in the state of Mississippi has gone viral this week, for giving its guests the opportunity to foster a dog during their stay.
Then, if you really fall in love with your new chum, you can actually fill out an application and pay the $50 adoption fee at the hotel to adopt them on the spot and take them home with you!
The concept was masterminded by Teresa Johnston, the hotel's sales director, who collaborated with Human Society relations manager Bianca Janik to assist the 8,000 dogs that end up in the shelter every year.
Commenting on the program, Janik stated: "They have a lot of transient guests who stay for months at a time near our army and navy bases and that's just enough time to fall in love with a dog."
She continued: "Teresa thought they needed to set their hotel apart and this was it. She wanted to have the business more involved with the community. It was a very out-of-the-box way to find our animals new homes so we were on board."
She added: "We have a very open adoption program. People are trying to do the right thing by adopting. We reserve the right to deny. (We) may tell them we don’t feel comfortable, come visit our shelter tomorrow and we’ll find one that is right."
Thus far, the program has been very successful, and USA Today reports that 33 guests have taken home a foster dog so far.
When the very first Subway restaurant opened in 1965, customers were overwhelmed by the huge "Super Submarine" sandwiches! More than forty years later, and Subway has grown into the largest fast-food franchise in the world.
[post_page_title]The Truth About Working At Subway[/post_page_title]
As a former sandwich artist, I thought it would be the perfect job whilst I finished my final semester at college; carefree, easy and all the free sandwiches I could eat! I couldn't have been more wrong...
[post_page_title]The First Sandwich You Should Never Order[/post_page_title]
The Meatball Marinara. If you want to avoid the dry, day-old meat and congealed sauce that comes with many a Meatball Marinara, then be sure to ask if the meatballs are fresh. But even then, there's no guarantee.

[post_page_title]The Second Sandwich You Should Never Order[/post_page_title]
The second sandwich you should never order is the Roast Beef, but that's mostly because that's the sandwich that goes bad the quickest. Be sure to ask your server if the beef is fresh, but don't expect them to be 100 percent truthful.
[post_page_title]The Not Nice Truth About Mice[/post_page_title]
With all that food wastage around, mice, rats, and other vermin are sadly a huge problem in Subway stores. Although traps are set discretely, accidents have occurred in the past. For example, one customer in Oregan, Matt Jones, got a nasty surprise after he had his sandwich handed to him, as discovered the body of a dead mouse covered in spinach!

[post_page_title]You're Probably Eating More Calories Than You Think[/post_page_title]
When you walk into a Subway store, you'll see all of our menus have the calories listed with each sandwich, with eight sandwiches even listed as containing just "six grams of fat". What you can't read is the small print, which specifies that these values are only for a six-inch sub, on "standard recipe" white bread, with no cheese or sauce!

[post_page_title]We Can't Get Rid Of The Smell[/post_page_title]
So many customers would walk into the store and say, "I love the smell of Subway". Well, I don't. Because no matter how hard you wash your uniform, you cannot get rid of that smell of bread! Seriously, it got to the point where I had to keep my uniform in a separate drawer to all of my clothes. It's nice for five minutes, it's unbearably toxic after 13 months.

[post_page_title]Don't Eat The Chicken[/post_page_title]
Friends would always ask me, "Is there anything I shouldn't eat", and I'd always reply, "avoid the chicken". Subway chicken is given a two-to-five day shelf life depending on the variety. The chicken teriyaki SHOULD be thrown out by the fifth day, but a lot of employees just change the date to avoid throwing it out.
[post_page_title]Mayo Or Light Mayo?[/post_page_title]
Employees at Subway understand that some customers eat there because they think they're opting for the healthier fast-food option. One common way this would present itself is seeing how many people opt for Light Mayo over regular Mayonnaise. However, whenever the Light Mayo bottle ran out, my manager would just tell me to fill it with regular mayonnaise...
Our famous cookies are delivered at the store frozen, and we have to cook them at 160 degrees for 11 minutes. However, I'd always take them out two minutes early because I like them gooey. The point is; we've got frozen cookie dough back there! Consider it a "Secret Menu" item of sorts, but if you ask for frozen cookie dough, a lot of employees will give you some!

[post_page_title]The Truth About Turkey[/post_page_title]
There's always been a debate about whether or not we actually sell pork. Subway stores located in areas with a high Muslim population have removed all pork products and all the meat is halal. "What about the salami and ham?", I hear you cry. Well, these are just flavored turkey meat made to look like pork products. You may not like it, but supply and demand.

[post_page_title]The Most Common Sandwich Is...[/post_page_title]
For a bit of Subway trivia; the most common sandwich ordered is a 6-inch meatball sauce with Swiss cheese on hearty Italian bread, toasted with a lot of salad and southwest sauce. A close second is the Italian B.M.T, which originally stood for "Brooklyn Manhattan Transit", but now stands for "Bigger, Meatier, Tastier".

[post_page_title]Footlong Subway Sandwiches Are 12 Inches Long (Now)[/post_page_title]
The term, "Subway Footlong" is actually a registered trademark, so for years, they could get away with selling you sandwiches UNDER 12 inches long. However, after an internet campaign and lawsuit earlier this year, judges ruled that all Footlong sandwiches MUST be at least a foot long! Nowadays, a Subway Footlong will be 12.1 inches in length.

[post_page_title]I've Heard Chipotle Pronounched A Million Ways[/post_page_title]
It's one of the most popular sauce options in Subway, but unfortunately, a lot of people can't pronounce it right, which drives us serves crazy! Some variations I've heard include chip-ottal. Ship-oat-lay. Chip-o-lata. Ship-ottle. For the record, it's "chi-poat-lay".

[post_page_title]Why You Should Order Flatbread Instead[/post_page_title]
Flatbread isn't most people's first choice when they enter Subway, but if your stomach is rumbling for as much food as possible, it really is the smartest, most efficient option. The way flatbread is made and prepared means it actually measures 14 inches in length. This does result in more calories, but if you're just after a monster meal, go flat!

[post_page_title]Subway University Is A Thing[/post_page_title]
When Subway advertises itself as turning the act of making sandwiches into an art, it's not kidding. Seriously. The chain even has its own university. The University of Subway really does exist, but no, it's not an actual educational institute. It's basically a free online app that's supposed to help stores train their employees through quizzes and tests.
Like most fast-food places, late-night weekend shifts are always the worst, because this is when we have the drunk revelers and stoners come in. And yes, of course, we know when you're stoned - mainly because I once watched a guy eat three footlong meatball marinaras and a pack of twelve cookies after getting a SERIOUS case of the munchies.
[post_page_title]Subway Stores Are Privately Owned[/post_page_title]
Like most franchises, Subway stores are privately owned by people who must follow a strict set of rules to ensure all of Subway's product have that unique taste. However, this does mean that the employee rules differ from store to store. For example, I worked at a store with lovely owners who were happy for the workers to have any footlong for lunch.

[post_page_title]More Than Two Sauces? Seriously?[/post_page_title]
You may think you're being cool and inventive opting for four different sauces on your sandwich, but we honestly judge you for being such a moron. Two sauces? Fine. Any more than that and it just becomes overly sweet gloop that destroys and overpowers the sandwich.

[post_page_title]Microwave Your Cookies[/post_page_title]
It's no secret that Subway cookies are one of the best sweet treats around, and it turns out that there's an ingenious way of making them taste even better. Simply ask the person behind the counter to microwave your cookie for five-to-ten seconds so it goes lusciously gooey.
Okay, the right Subway sandwiches are certainly a much healthier alternative to a McDonald's, and while employees could have a salad bowl, most of the time we're competing with the other members of staff to see who can create the very best sandwich - and most of the time they end up looking like something out of a Scooby-Doo cartoon.
[post_page_title]Know What You Want![/post_page_title]
There's nothing worse than dealing with a customer who has no idea what they want, and dealing with a Subway virgin is a painstaking process. The most annoying thing is that the instructions are clearly written on the counter! On the other hand, we will lose our patience with you if are way too specific.
[post_page_title]Always Ask For More Vegetables[/post_page_title]
Have you ever stood at a Subway counter and been a little disappointed by the number of veggies on your sub? Then ask for more. Seriously. Managers like to keep costs down for a bonus, but employees can give you as much as you want.
[post_page_title]You're Not Eating As Fresh As You Think[/post_page_title]
Subway's famous tagline might be "Eat Fresh", but this is far from a reality, and to be honest, makes us surprised that the chain hasn't come under fire for false advertising! Sadly, everything on offer was once frozen.
[post_page_title]The Truth About The Grilled Chicken[/post_page_title]
When you buy grilled chicken, it's only natural to assume that what you've purchased has, y'know, been grilled, but apparently, this isn't the case at Subway. Those grill marks? I hate to break bad news, but they're food coloring.
But if you thought that the truth about Subway's chicken was bad, the truth about its cheese is even worse.
"Subway cheese is not actually cheese! It is a solidified cheese 'spread' which, if left in water for a period of time, loses all of its artificial yellow coloring and turns a pallid gray."
"1. You ask for a flat bread, tell them to put the meatball sauce on top (smeared). 2. Then ask for pepperonis (preferably sliced), and your preferred cheese (cheddar works best). 3. Before they toast it, put on all the vegetables you want (I make mine with bell-peppers, and purple-onions 4. Toast it and I swear to you it will smell exactly like a supreme pizza from Sbarro's, Dominoes, or Pizza Hut."
[post_page_title]The Unhealthiest Thing On The Menu[/post_page_title]
"Your Subway tuna sandwich is 90% mayonnaise. How did we prepare the tuna? Take one can of tuna the size of your fist and empty it into a vat. Take a big 2ltr bag of mayonnaise and splosh it in the vat. Mix it haphazardly for 2 minutes until it’s a semi-consistent mush. Cringe when customers ask for ‘just a little bit’ of light mayo on their tuna sandwich."
[post_page_title]If You Must Have Chicken, Order The Strips[/post_page_title]
"At the beginning of the day, we are told to get [chicken b reasts] out of the freezer and put them into hot water where they remain ALL DAY. Then at the end of the day, you have to take them out and SQUEEZE the gross ass chicken water out of them, which by now has made the meat soggy."
[post_page_title]How To Make A Hot Sandwich Even Tastier[/post_page_title]
"Ask them to put the onions on the sandwich BEFORE toasting, and ask them to pour a little olive oil over them first. Doesn’t save you money, but YUM. This also works good for peppers."
[post_page_title]The Bread You Should Never Order[/post_page_title]
"I don't know if this has been mentioned, but don't buy any variety of wheat bread at Subway. It's actually worse for you than getting the Italian. It's dyed with plenty of added shit to make it look and taste different."
It’s a well known fact that strong vegetarian Subway sandwiches are, to say the least, thin on the ground. Unless you’re preference is for a cowpat-looking beany pattie, your only real option is cookies, crisps and bottomless Cokes. However, even though we can all sympathise with the lack of viable alternatives, one vegetarian’s recent Subway order was so bizarre that the internet has had no option other than to remorselessly take the piss.
20-year-old Londoner Anna James has made headlines after both she and her Subway server uploaded her depressing sandwich to the internet, causing consternation, ridicule and a small amount of sympathy.
The confusion initially came about as Anna was something of a Subway newbie, and was therefore unfamiliar with the tradition of loading whatever sandwich you order with as many ingredients as possible, regardless of whether or not they belong together. Anna did not get this memo. Instead, she asked her server for a footlong cucumber and cheese sandwich. After staff insisted on helping her add something more appetising, she eventually relented. She asked for a few olives. That was it.
So baffled were employees at what they had just been asked to prepare, that one of the requested Anna’s permission to take a picture of the order. Before long, Instagram user @djee_cumaa had uploaded the image, accompanied with the caption “Who orders a subway like this??”
Clearly perturbed by what was going on behind the counter, Anna uploaded a second photo herself, writing “First time in Subway and the worker took a picture of my order. Am I doing this wrong,” in a tweet that has now been made private. It was at this point that criticism really began to kick off.
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram/djee_cumaa]]
According to reporting by The New York Post, baffled responses included. “That’s actually so wrong,” from @your_girl_sophie, “I’m hardcore judging you right now,” from @yvngpusll, and, “I hope he’s sending that to the FBI,” from @JamelnotJamal.
If you fancy a meatier sandwich, here's our recipe for a Giant Meatball Marinara Sub:
However, despite the lack of sympathy from social media, Anna did find herself with an unlikely ally. After witnessing the assault on one of their valued customers, Subway themselves decided to wade into the debate, saying of the server’s original post, “looks like he’s just documenting a true masterpiece.” It just goes to show that, even if you get a torrent of abuse, there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy a sub.
This article originally appeared on twistedfood.co.uk
A Subway employee who sparked outrage after filming himself wreaking havoc in one of the chain's stores has been fired, according to the sandwich giant.
A number of videos were posted online showing the employee deliberately causing mayhem in the store.
Per Newsweek, the worker in question is named Jumanne Way. Way was seen walking across the deli counter with his shoes on and putting his feet into Subway's meat and condiment selections.
One post showed him randomly placing a collection of deli meats in a Subway restroom, with some being placed on the toilet seat.
In other footage, which was originally discovered by Newsweek but has since been deleted, Way is seen throwing meats as well as other ingredients around the store.
Needless to say, customers were outraged by the horrifying display, with many taking to Twitter to share their disgust.
One Twitter user said they would no longer buy from the chain unless the employee responsible was dismissed.
Subway's official Twitter account replied: "We appreciate you reaching out regarding your concerns. This situation has been addressed and we have confirmed with the franchise of this location that the employee was immediately terminated after he learned of his actions."
The chain's UK store confirmed that the worker had been fired, writing: "Subway and our network of franchisees take health and food safety extremely seriously and don’t condone any behavior that violates our strict policies in these areas.
"While Subway restaurants are individually owned and operated, we have confirmed with the franchisee of this location that the employee was immediately terminated after he learned of the employee’s actions."
Way has since told Newsweek in an interview: "I took the idea for walking on the food, and the toilet, from other controversial things that I’ve seen on the internet. I’m not exactly sure what, but I figured it would draw attention.
He explained: "It’s a lot that happened within the last five years that led to those Subway videos. The owners of the store were disappointed in my actions.
"I’ve been struggling with finding purpose in my life for years, and was uncertain in my ability to maintain stability. I gave up on myself. I always enjoyed Subway as a customer, and as an employee."
I don't know about you, but I'm not the biggest fan of getting the underground. Of all the forms of public transport, it's the most convenient by a large margin, and yet there's a lot of reasons why I've gradually come to dread it every morning - and I'm sure that most inner-city travellers will agree with me. Come the rush hour, using any kind of subway system is a living hell. You're crowded into a tiny space, your face squished against the glass door, while you do your level best not to accidentally grope someone next to you. It's bad enough having to share a subway car with a bunch of strangers most of whom are probably sick with some ghastly bug, but in Moscow the locals have to share a carriage with a few furry friends: stray Russian dogs.
Yes, it turns out that in Mother Russia, the canine population is in just as much of a hurry to get from Point A to Point B as their homo sapien counterparts. Rather than roaming the streets of the capital city on their paws, these Russian dogs have resorted to travelling via the metro system, and they're completely capable of understanding the intricacies of a network that continues to stump most human tourists.
Sounds unbelievable right? Like the Jersey Devil, or the gators that supposedly dwell in the sewers of New York City. Yet there are numerous photographs of these stray dogs going about their business. Muscovites, for their part, are fond of the animals, and do little to deter them from riding the trains. Indeed, they often beg for scraps and treats from travellers on the lines; something which potentially attracted the canines to the metro system in the first place.
[[heroimage||http://cdn.junglecreations.com/wp/junglecms/2017/08/GettyImages-634390252-compressor.jpg]]
The Financial Times estimates that there are around 35,000 stray dogs wandering the streets of Moscow, and approximately 500 dogs currently inhabit the subway stations, although there are usually more dogs in the colder months, entering the metro to seek shelter from the harsh winter weather. A significant number of these animals have learned, by trial and error, which trains to travel on and what destinations they stop off at, a phenomenon which has left a number of animal behaviouralists utterly baffled, and numerous theories have been expostulated over the years in an attempt to rationalise the uncanny intuition these pooches display.
Some believe that the dogs are capable of picking up the scents of particular stations to determine their location, others think that the dogs are capable of judging the length of time spent on the train in between stations, and use the passage of time to work out their ultimate destination. Some people even imagine that the dogs can recognise the names of the station, which are announced over the train's loudspeaker system.
Biologist Dr. Andrey Poyarkov has spent the last 30 years investigating the behaviour of these remarkably intelligent animals. Since less than three percent of abandoned dogs can expect to survive the streets, Poyarkov believes that domestication and co-operation have helped the dogs thrive in an urban environment. "In Moscow there are all sorts of stray dogs, but there are no stupid dogs ... The street is tough and it's survival of the fittest. These clever dogs know people much better than people know them," Poyarkov stated.
"To see a wild wolf is a real event ... But with stray dogs you can watch them for as long as you want and, for the most part, be quite near them ... The second difference between stray dogs and wolves is that the dogs, on average, are much less aggressive and a good deal more tolerant of one another ... What has changed significantly [with domestication] is a range of hormonal and behavioural parameters, because of the brutal natural selection that eliminated many aggressive animals ... With stray dogs, we’re witnessing a move backwards. That is, to a wilder and less domesticated state."
The dogs have a variety of clever methods of begging for food, and often travel in groups, irrespective of breed. The bigger, scarier looking pack leaders have even been observed sending the smaller, cuter puppies ahead of the rest of the pack to beg, since they are less threatening and more likely to return with dinner.
Even though the dogs are treated kindly, for the most part, there are many who see them as disease carrying pests, and many officials have made it clear that they would prefer to be rid of them. Dogcatchers work night and day to impound the homeless dogs, and there have even been campaigns in the past to sterilise them. None of these ideas have had much of an impact, however.
One metro dog, which was named "Malchik" was immortalised in the form of a statue and plaque, after he was tragically killed in the station. The black mongrel stray lived at the Mendeleyevskaya station for three years, and was popular with travellers who frequented that particular stop, and was often seen barking to deter drunks from sleeping in his territory. However, in 2001, mentally ill fashion model Yuliana Romanova, who had prior a history of crimes against animals, stabbed Malchik six times with a kitchen knife.
Romanova was subsequently arrested and underwent a year of intense psychiatric treatment for the slaying of Malchik. A bronze statue, paid for by public donations, now stands proudly at the entrance of Mendeleyevskaya station; a reminder that the strays are now considered an essential part of the Moscow experience.
They may be a nuisance to some, and abhorred by others, but the implications they raise in biological terms are staggering, and it's clear that we have a lot to learn from them. If nothing else, they certainly serve to make subway a less tedious experience, and for that perhaps, we humans - who abandoned these dogs in the first place - should be grateful.
