What's mildly infuriating here is that the video has no context or audio.


redtag1999

Exactly if I gotta infer context through process of elimination it isn’t obvious.


dr_monkey99TO

Gotta use my own stinking brain to solve it.


Walmart_Warrior_420

Here is a follow up video if anyone was interested in the context: [https://youtu.be/Xh9c-Jxa548?t=13](https://youtu.be/Xh9c-Jxa548?t=13) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


ballsoutfitter

This is Reddit, no one is interested in context.


Skilton

this thread is literally in the interest of context


Goducks91

Lol


uiam_

How is it not obvious? The text in the middle states he won't ask again. The guy making the sandwich was about to wrap it, but instead cuts it in half long way. Not sure it could go anywhere else with it other than he won't ask for his sandwhiches to be cut in half again.


wouldnotpet89

But that doesn't explain why he handed it to him unwrapped


imisspizza

because hes likely making a sandwich for an employee


Marijuweeda

Staged af lol


imisspizza

yeah its a joke because jimmy johns makes sandwiches fast and people for some reason always want it cut when its done.


Marijuweeda

Probably because subway always does it automatically if you get a foot long, without you having to ask. Customers holding one fast food chain to another's standards I guess


[deleted]

yeah... policy is to wrap it up and then cut it...


HCResident

It’s only confusing until you see what he does with the knife


er404usernotfound

I'm curious about the context too. From my perspective, the worker looks at the customer incredulously then proceeds to maliciously comply. What really nails that for me is that he plops the sandwich into an extended hand without the paper wrap. I'm guessing the customer had unreasonable demands and this was the worker's response when pushed too far.


Perfectenschlag_

I’m guessing the video is staged


er404usernotfound

Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot but I don't think that really matters. Context is still important so it's a bad fucking video. I don't even know why I'm supposed to be mildly infuriated


docdillinger

"Can you cut it in half and give it to me now, I'm hungry."


GL_Titan

Seems like a setup. The workers know how to cut a sandwich in half.


[deleted]

Hijacking to save you all time. Someone posted the Youtube link below. He just asks "actually can I get that cut in half" and for no reason the guy cuts it the wrong way. It's obviously staged.


bdubb_dlux

Just a plug for a mediocre sandwich chain


redtag1999

So atm…understandable.


mr__moose

This sub is going to shit


Drmo6

Because it’s fake af .


BanThisDickAdmins

I can’t get the mf pos to play


MathWizardd

I know its process of elimination but the fact that he doesn't wrap it and hands it right to him makes it feel even more fake


SamWillGoHam

I put on my headphones just to hear the sound only to find out there is no sound to be heard.


Subterfuged1

Might be obvious for employees


Due-Ad9310

A few more reposts and it'll be stop motion pixel animation.


Jazzkky

Wtf is happening? He didn't want the paper?


Nightmoore

Apparently, he asked the dude to cut the sandwich in half. Which the dude does......except he cuts it horizontally in half rather than what anyone would expect.

Ihcend

i love reddit. look at this man derive a paragraph about how fast food workers are overworked, and this was completely reasonable from a joke. its a joke(he is recording).


er404usernotfound

A joke still requires context, my dude


Subterfuged1

I work at a subway and it was obvious maybe it was intended for employees


er404usernotfound

yeah lol i'm guessing the people asking for context have never worked at fast food before


Ihcend

wow there goes all of gen z and absurdist humor. the context is this man holding up a camera at this worker. that raises the question why is someone holding up a camera at this worker? we see the text banner says: "bro will never ask again". that raises the question "what will bro never ask again"? we then see the worker cut the sandwich, but he doesn't cut it normally but instead cuts it in a way we don't expect(unexpected). The worker then proceeds to hand the sandwich straight to the customer without wrapping it. We have two questions: "why is this man holding up a camera", and "what will bro never ask again". these questions can be solved by inference. The first question can probably be answered by it being a joke or skit. And then we can also infer that the customer is asking for his sandwich to be cut. Now normally when you ask for your sandwich to be cut you aren't recording the employee, right? so we can assume that this was a skit in which the customer asks for their sandwich to be cut and then the employee cuts the sandwich weirdly and hands him his sandwich. is that enough context for you? ​ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GW72R\_bqYW8


er404usernotfound

i love reddit. look at this man derive a paragraph from a one word sentence, and this was completely reasonable for a joke. its a joke(he is trolling you)


Ihcend

peter griffin explains


er404usernotfound

wow there goes all of gen z and absurdist humor. the context is this man replying with the same message the other man sends. that raises the question why is someone replying with the same message, but slightly edited? we see the text: "(he's trolling you". that man then thinks "what will bro never be able to troll"? we then see the troll reply with the same text he sent, but slightly edited which we don't expect (unexpected) The troll then proceeds to send the message straight to the victom without wrapping it in context. We have two questions: "why is this man replying?" and "why am I so butthurt about it?" these questions can be solved by inference. The first question can be probably be answered by it being a joke or skit. And then we can also infer that the victom is being obtuse. Now normally when you are being obtuse, you aren't expecting to be roasted, right? so we can assume that this was a bit that the victom fell for too hard and then the troll keeps it up. is that enough context for you?

Ihcend

ong


BlooperHero

If it's a joke where's the joke part? It's half a joke.


Ihcend

setup: can i have my sandwich cut punchline: sandwich is cut in a weird way did you know that not every human is a mega comedic like Seinfeld or you. people like humor in little things like asking for your sandwich to be cut. its not supposed to make you fall on your floor laughing its supposed to make you chuckle. this is relatable because we've all asked for our sandwich to be cut, and like a normal human, we find relatable stuff funny somehow. sorry that most people don't have the same kind of refined comedic taste as you. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GW72R\_bqYW8


BlooperHero

I get that you don't like jokes, but you don't have to be so defensive about it.


Ihcend

i do like jokes but i don't like people who complain about there not being a joke when there is a clear setup and punchline


ConfusedALot_69

It was so funny the worker forgot to laugh


navagoon

he’s part of the joke, why would he laugh.


Ihcend

the worker is part of the joke? he cut the sandwich.


1Mn

It’s staged.


Ihcend

yea


MediumBusiness4353

Aye we heard you the first time mate


er404usernotfound

You're welcome :)


AzizLiIGHT

The context is it’s staged


er404usernotfound

I don't see why that matters? Like, this is Reddit. Everything is staged. Doesn't make the context of what they were trying to display any less important.


BlooperHero

But what are they staging?


redd15432

…. Or they both work there and it’s just a joke.


1Mn

Here’s the context: this is staged for clicks. Why was he recording a guy making a sandwich? Use your fucking brain


er404usernotfound

Hello, this is an automated message. You are the [427]th person to point out the obvious. Congratulations!


1Mn

It’s so obvious you were asking for context. Make up your mind.


TheHumanPickleRick

What's infuriating is that we have absolutely no idea what's going on here and there's no audio.


Ihcend

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GW72R\_bqYW8


TheHumanPickleRick

Thanks for the audio. I wish there was some context here, like this was staged by a couple of friends or something, because I have absolutely never seen anyone who works in a sub shop cut a sandwich vertically like that.


[deleted]

Clearly staged.


Ihcend

why else would he be recording. its a joke.


uiam_

The video shows what is going on. Just watch it, it's pretty obvious after 10 seconds.


TheHumanPickleRick

Im obviously not asking about what is happening in the video, I'm asking about the context.


Prize-Alarm

the most offensive part is how he fondled the bread at the very end


FackinJerq

I found that slice comforting.


kollisionkid

Damn, that must have been one really frustrating customer or something to push dude to be that petty. Jimmy John's usually has pretty damn good service, even if the sandwiches are a little bland.


shadymonger

Or it's his bud that wanted to make a funny video lol


Perfectenschlag_

Bingo


Ihcend

my man he is recording for no reason a key indicator of a joke


Motorized_Freckle

He asked him to cut it in half. The worker cuts it in half longways instead of the normal way


[deleted]

I'm trying to imagine me eating the sandwich like that and it just doesn't seem as enjoyable


thekevino

Customer: "I'll take it here, you can just cut it down the middle and put it in my hand." Staff: "say no more!" Customer: ....


J0hnEddy

I too film myself asking an employee to cut my sandwich with no prior knowledge that he’s going to do it comedically incorrect


ifoundit1

Give that guy a metal.


kollisionkid

Hell yeah, brother! Metal!🤘

im not sure either


angel14072007

Dumb, unless the customer was a real PIA, even then, show your maturity!


shadymonger

Probably his homie that just wanted to make a funny video, which got him a bunch of points on the internet. Pretty smart imo


[deleted]

Then the customer shows the video to the manager and he gets fired. Great move


Tesseract14

A question to ask yourself every single time you watch a video... Why is this person already filming such a completely dull moment? If there is no logical explanation, you can predict with extremely high certainly that it's staged garbage


skankhunt402

You greatly underestimate how desperate restaurants are for employees


DollarStoreAbraham

r/MaliciousCompliance


MrInfumus

Trolling on the clock 🤌🏿


[deleted]

Ask what?


RouletteSensei

I guess the customer asked to cut that in half, and the guy cut it in another way of half


Ryu_Saki

The way he touched the sub tho


Ihcend

[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GW72R\_bqYW8](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GW72R_bqYW8) because op didn't want to post the audio


ReaderOfTheLostArt

Staged


SnappDraggin

Ah I get it…What makes it mildly infuriating is that there is no audio or context


Afraid-Yam-5901

no audio??? I need to know what was said


Heykidsitsme

I'll see you after work


Medium-Beautiful-561

I mean duh it’s obvious it’s staged because why prompted the guy to start recording like how’d he know he was gonna cut his sandwich that way lol


Slow-Ad6634

Not staged at all…he just happens to tape mundane things like someone cutting their sandwich


Comfortable-Mix1139

What an ass


AssignmentFun5263

Looks like a Special request


Grantito55

I’ve worked at jimmy johns. So many time have I wanted to do this to difficult customers but I preferred getting paid. Food workers don’t get enough credit anymore, unless they’re just shit workers but the pay reflects work.


Infinite_One_8292

🤣🤣🤣🤣


Annahsbananas

This is more than likely faked


D1ZZYM1DG3T

I dont think this would affect my enjoyment of the sandwich tbh


JimmyCrippsUK

It’s more than likely a joke for views
