What? Just because 99% of the time when I tell them I want a turkey sandwich no cheese, they still ask me what cheese I want two seconds later, doesn't mean they couldn't follow a coded system.

I finally gave up going to Subway. It was easier than trying to get them to stop putting cheese on my sandwich.
To add I've had similar problems at McDonalds who can't understand why I would want a quarter pounder without cheese. I make it simple for them - I just order a hamburger now and at least that doesn't confuse them.
