who hates subway again? How should I know, I really could eat a 6in meatball with mustard, ranch, tobasco pepper sauce

>bring people in with $5 footlongs
>shoo them away when you reduce your offer to veggies and cold cuts only
>they stop doing $5 sandwiches altogether

You're selling sandwiches that are almost entirely veggies with 3 thin layers of meat, I could get a better value anywhere else, they were only good when it was roughly $2.50 per serving and the soggy sandwich lasted me for lunch and dinner.

When Subway got big it was a new type of fast food. Something that had nutrients aside from pig lard. Now it's a low quality sandwich.

The bar was raised. It's been raised again.

>>10139870
>Wendys/McDonalds/Burger King
there's your problem
fast food in general is shit

>>10139870
Too expensive for what it is now. Back when you could get any sub for 5 bucks it was fine. Then it was 6 bucks. Then 5 bucks but only certain subs on certain days. I think it was at that point that people said "wait, why the fuck am I even eating here anymore?". That and the rise of better alternatives such as Firehouse and Schlotskis. And that there's no drive through so you actually have to go in and order your shitty food. All and all there's just like 0 reason to eat there now.

>>10139870
Jersey Mike's, Firehouse, hell even Jimmy John's does it better. Most places also have a better local alternative/s as well.
Subway was a nice alternative back when there weren't alternatives, but it has stagnated and is quickly getting left behind.
There are better alternatives, there are more healthy alternatives, and there are cheaper alternatives.

>>10140337
i love the sheer convenience of Jimmy Johns
but how in the hell do they do it better
their subs are theadbeare, their ingredients are at best as shit as Subway

I have a Wawa 5 minutes from me and a Sheetz 10 minutes from me. It would be absurd for me to step into a Subway when I can get a higher quality sandwich for the same price that isn't a single slice of meat stretched across a footlong stale roll.

>>10139870
Too expensive for what you get. The calorie to dollar ratio is off. The sandwiches aren't even filling. The only thing worth getting are the dozen fresh baked cookies for $6. They should just stop selling sandwiches and be become a cookie bakery.

post your local sub chains itt

Fuck them I ordered a foot long and got two six inch subs instead.

Very expensive and its the least satiating fast food Ive ever had, which is impressive considering that its so much lettuce.

Just what exactly are they doing to the ingredients? The bread must be styrophoam.

Subway is overpriced garbage, I can get a $6 footlong at my local deli that I can barely finish because of how much meat they put on it, which is something that a $10 footlong from Subway can't accomplish even though they're stuffed with processed garbage meat that is always made of turkey unless by definition the meat choice can't be turkey (ham, steak)

*publix laughs in the distance*

>>10141628
Ah the Boars head. They make damn good subs. Better than subway even.

>>10140348
I like their meat more, and it's cheaper

i used to get the tuna sub with jalapenos and shit all the time, and it was pretty worth. that was years ago though.

>>10139870
Because
>go in for sub
>ask for lettuce, and get so much I think I got a salad
>ask for a few tomatos, all soggy and way too much
>never enough onions
>reduced other toppings to basically nothing
>no one ever knows how to properly put sauce on

Alongside the Jared fiasco.

>>10139870
People bitch and complain about American fast food they don't like/hate because they think its bad for them.

More news at 11.

>>10140401

Because the employees stick their gloves up their asshole

>>10139873
i wouldn't have thought gorillas were a particularly big market

>>10145542
dang

I don't like subway simply because those sandwiches go through my digestive system in 20 minutes and I don't want the Hershey squirts that often

>>10139870

Their bread was always terrible, but they lowered quality on all their ingredients, especially the meat . You could make a better sandwich with a pair of socks.

>>10140401
How much did all this cost?

>>10145542
Primo is real good, too bad they're all in ghetto areas here

>>10145585

Sup?

>>10146599
One by me is in a shopping center on a suburban main road across from a police station. I have seen them in some pretty sketchy locations more towards Philly though. While sure there are better shops to get hoagies, they are top-tier for a chain.

>>10140348
>their ingredients are at best as shit as Subway

the sandwiches are skimpy and overpriced as fuck but this is simply not true. the ingredients are at worst decent quality (hellman's, grey poupon, starkist tuna) unless your local franchise owner is breaking guidelines. The only appeal to the place is that it's above-average and delivers quickly.

>>10140401
not quite local anymore but I've always been fond of Potbelly's

For the amount of meat you get

It's a rip off.

The employees look gross, jared is in prison for pedophilia, the ingredients are low tier, there’s no drive thru, the side order is a bag of chips. Subway is trash.

>pepperoni
>carrots???

I hope they don't call that shit an "italian"

I got stale bread twice in a row so i never went back

Because their food is disgusting

>>10146698
I'd gladly trade all of our Subways for Potbelly's. I love a sandwich shop that some soups and salads to choose from.

>>10145580
For you.

Because I'm forced to make difficult decisions about toppings while people are waiting behind me when I'd rather just order a simple item that has predetermined values.

They should just come with everything, and then I'd only have to ask for things to be left off. Like pickles off a burger.

Decision making is hard.

Sorry, but I am a Subway employee and I cannot sit here and read this.
The staff at Subway do not fuck up your order, or anybody elses. Do you not understand the concept of having it your way? It isn't the staffs fault. Subway gives the customer responsibility for themselves, their food, and their decisions. iF YOU ARE TIRED AND GO TO SUBWAY THEN GUESS WHAT? YOUR SANDWICH WILL LOOK TIRED.

You don't walk into Subway with bags under your eyes, a bad attitude, and no creativity and expect a great sandwich. Your sandwich will have bags under its ham, a bad sauce spread and no creative veggie distribution and you are the one who is to blame. Imagine if you went to a childrens playground, then headbutted the slide and tried to punch the swing. You wouldn't leave saying 'what a shitty park'. You'd leave thinking 'wow I am a retard'. And that is how you should feel after what you have done. You completely misunderstood why Subway exists. It exists so you can create something with the help of the staff. You can't expect the staff to read your mind. The average Subway worker will make, in 1 year, 2847 different sandwich combinations. You expect them to know what you want?

If you ask a Subway worker for honey mustard and don't specify how much in volume, for how long it needs to be spread in seconds, which vegetables you would prefer it doesn't touch, which temperature you would prefer it at, how long after toasting the sandwich you would like the honey mustard applied and pretty much everything else you can't expect to have it your way. Your way is YOUR way. And if your way is sloppy, stupid and lazy then your sandwich will be sloppy and lazy.

If you bite into a Subway sandwich, and are not satisfied, then well done, you aren't satisfied with yourself. Good fucking job, worthless retard. You are like a person who leaves home at 17 and becomes homeless. It is your fault.

wew lad

back in the 90s they had real bread and real toppings. crusty, crunchy bread cut in the v style with fresh toppings. Now it's synthetic, gooey horseshit with a bunch of snot for filling.

they entire franchise is dying and with good reason.

>go to the super market
>buy bread, meats, a package of lettuce
>can make 10 sandwiches for the same price as one subway sandwich

>>10149890
10/10 post

I love my sandwich artist! I give him (I'm a guy btw lol) a wink everytime I ask for extra meat. While I'm busy getting myself a nice, cold refreshment from the soda stream he quickly packages up my sub and I'm ready to tackle my busy day.

>>10149988

... Eat Fresh.

It's cheap in my cunt

>>10139870
I'd rather pay an extra dollar or two and get a sandwich that doesn't taste like shit. Subway's meat is horrible and the bread is the consistency of warm play dough. Literally any place that makes sandwiches does a better job than subway (Quizznos, Jersey Mikes, Firehouse, JJ's, even fucking Arby's.)

>>10141628
>*publix laughs in the distance*
so much this

>>10150018
for me, its the chicken tendie sub

>>10150024
everything they make is dank af since they use Boar's Head and actual quality vegetables from the supermarket. It's amazing more supermarkets don't get in on the sub game. I know Harris Teeter does it too.

>>10149954
Unless I'm sharing food I can never get through all the ingredients, especially lettuce, without getting sick of sandwiches and having some of the food go bad.

>>10150036

Get Renee's Caesar and have a bunch of bowls of that shit. It's like fake salad. You'll be able to finish the lettuce no probs.

>>10139870
I think its because normies think it's healthy, when a footlong smothered with mayo and chipotle dressing is worse than McDonalds. Sure Subway subs can be healthy if you just get boring stuff and no dressing on them, but McDonalds burgers could also be healthy if you just get tomato and lettuce between a bun.

>>10140337
>>10140348

For $5 i like subways meatball subs best

>>10150064
the subway turkey sub is healthy-ish if you don't put cheese on it and don't use mayo. it's a sodium bomb though, not to mention it tastes like ass.

>>10150084
>the subway turkey sub is healthy-ish if you don't put cheese on it and don't use mayo
That's the point I was trying to make. Yeah, it'll be healthy if you don't put cheese and mayo on it, but who is going to order a turkey sub without cheese or mayo?

>>10150167

Order the pedo 6 inch with half the child.
