Subway customer attacks employee with sandwich for not cutting their footlong

A Florida man was arrested for battery after they attacked a Subway worker with their sandwich for not cutting the footlong sub in half.

Fast food restaurants have often spawned endless viral clips across the internet involving troublesome encounters between customers and employees.

Whether it’s one angry customer slapping a Taco Bell worker or even fights breaking out at a McDonald’s branch for running out of Sweet and Sour sauce, it has proved to be a tricky place to work for many.

Another customer who wasn’t pleased that their footlong sub from Subway hadn’t been cut has even reportedly been arrested for battery after they struck the worker in question with their sandwich.

Florida man attacks Subway employee with his sandwich

According to a Martin County Sheriff’s police report, a Florida man was arrested on January 9, 2024, and is set to face criminal charges for his actions.

Alberto De Barros is said to have ordered a sandwich at a Subway restaurant located in Stuart, Florida, but was soon “upset” with the sandwich artist after “finding out that his sandwich was not separated.”

Subway worker Cassandra Pierre-Louis informed law enforcement that she refused to serve De Barros due to him “causing a disruptive scene.” The angry customer then responded by throwing the sandwich at her.

The 54-year-old man soon left the fast food branch, as Pierre-Louis stated she followed behind and managed to take a photograph of his number plate, before he eventually drove off.

De Barros was soon released from Martin County jail after paying the required $1,000 bond and now awaits his formal charging in the form of an arraignment on February 1, 2024.
