I worked at Subway for 6 years while earning my CS degree.
I sometimes miss the mindless simplicity of the work. I miss knowing exactly what I need to be doing every day.
But I certainly don't miss with dealing with the general public, where a very vocal minority has decided that it is socially acceptable to yell at service workers. It's even worse when it's their own mistake, like they ask for mustard when they meant honey mustard, and somehow I'M the idiot for not knowing which one they meant.
Or they ask for "light mayo" and I ask them to clarify if they meant a small amount of mayo, or the low-fat mayo, and they snap an answer back at me as if I was being a smart-ass. The answers were close to 50/50 by the way.
Damn maybe I don't miss it after all. I could go on for hours about how shitty some customers can be.

I find it much harder to gauge people's intentions in white-collar land.
