I have a very basic close cropped haircut. I keep it closely cut on the sides, a little longer on top, and part it on the side in the direction my hair naturally wants to lay. It's the same haircut you see on more than half of all Caucasians in the military or in law enforcement.
Why is it, however, ever other time I get my hair cut at Supercuts, the stylist combs it differently than I had it when I initially sat down? Instead of parting it how I had it parted, they want to comb it back like I just finished riding a motorcycle sans helmet? Can't they remember how it was combed 7-8 minutes ago? I really do wonder, and just yesterday believe it or not, after the stylist buzzed the sides of my head, she wanted me to show her how I comb the top before cutting it. Seriously?
You get what you pay for. Supercuts is very inexpensive. If you're that particular, take a couple of photos of yourself with you, to show the stylist exactly what you want.
I tried Super Cuts, once, my bad, chop shop experience. I asked the female cutting my hair what her experience was and she said she was not a licensed barber but a cosmetician and she'd been at it for about 3 months. You do not need to be a licensed trained barber to work at Super Cuts.

You don't need to be a licensed barber to work in many hair styling salons. There is not a huge difference between the two and in my area most salons employ cosmetologist to cut hair. Barber vs. Stylist | The Men's Room
But yeah, Supercuts is useful for a cheap kids cut or maybe a simple trim in between visits to your regular salon, not usually the place to go for a professional looking style. They are like a step above getting your hair cut at a cosmetology school.
Although in their defense they are a great place for new stylist to get some experience and I have seen some girls move up to better salons from a Supercuts, so not all the stylists are bad.

But for crying out loud, I just have a basic military haircut that takes no more than 8 minutes. How difficult is it to screw that up?
It shouldn't be difficult to get it right, but at the same time you are probably getting your hair cut by some newb who's just received her license. She probably didn't really even look at you when you sat down in her chair. People in low wage jobs seldom see people, they just see another nameless faceless customer that needs to be taken care of. If she's any good at her job she'll eventually learn to pay attention to things like that and then she'll probably move on to a better salon.
If you want to keep using Supercuts make it a habit to ask for the same stylist each time you make an appointment. When you become a regular your stylist gets a chance to know your preferences and it won't be such a hassle for you. Most women and many men I know have a regular stylist they use each and every time they get a cut. It's one of those little things that just makes life easier.
Or you might want to try a barber shop rather than a salon. In my area they are only a few dollars more, not expensive. They would probably be more familiar with doing a military style cut anyway.
