“I’m sure the health department would have an issue with this,” Ms Williams wrote.

“Quite disgusting. Bon appetit.”

The picture has been shared more than 10,000 times with many reacting with revulsion.

“Just lost my appetite,” one woman wrote.

One man joked the woman was “just measuring out a foot-long”.

However, one woman claimed the worker pictured is the owner of the restaurant and works “open to close”.

“(She) was very tired – it’s sad to judge this woman,” she wrote.

The woman added the worker was simply “careless” and made a mistake.

Subway business development agent Kip Klopfenstein told ABC 7 Detroit the behaviour pictured in the picture is “inconsistent” with the “high standards Subway franchise owners follow”.

He added his team is working with the franchise owners.
