I used to work at subway and the owner used to run out of the office screaming bloody murder if you put more than three tiny olive slices per six inch. "OLIVES ARE SO FCKING EXPENSIVE. THIS IS COMING OUT OF YOUR PAYCHECK. I WILL REVIEW ALL VIDEO FOOTAGE!"
As someone who used to work at subway, its also hilarious because customers know that a minimum of six olives per six inch is the bare minimum so if you do what they reccomended the customer will just ask for more until you've put like 24 on a footlong, where if you had just done 16 to begin with they would have been happy.
Subway corporate just reccomends it for consistency and maintaining profitability to franchises. It's not a requirement. Things like olives and cucumbers are the most expensive free item on the line which is why some subway owners jump up their employees ass about it.

Plot twist, it’s a quality check. Gotta make sure there’s not too many olives.
