You really think their food is too salty? I feel the total opposite. Nowadays, on the rare occasion that I go there, I have to have them douse everything in salt, pepper, oil vinegar and some type of sauce to mask that weird flavor. This is a cliche thing to say, but to me their food literally tastes and smells like cardboard. I've smelled types of cardboard that smell like Subgay.

Subway bread tastes like sweat socks, their meat tastes of nothing but salt, and their cheese tastes of nothing

I think Subway ended up countersuing because the way the testing was done didn't prove what percentage of ingredients were being used. Even if it was mostly chicken they still probably injected it with a ton of brine to add water weight.

It's just not worth getting anything from Subway though, they skimp on the meat and cheese hard and it's just too easy to go buy sandwich ingredients and make them yourself. Can spend ten bucks to make at least a few big sandwiches instead of getting two sad ones from Subway.

Subway was never good. The ingredients were always subpar and the service was usually awful, but the sandwiches were cheap enough that nobody complained.

>MBAs raped the company by over-saturating it literally everywhere

It was easier to get a Subway franchise than any other large fast food franchise, and was this way for a long time. It cheap to start a Subway and the store size requirements were lower than most restaurant franchises. Franchised restaurants generally have regional restrictions that keep people from opening a competing owner from the same franchise too close nearby, Subway's were virtually non-existent. Subway had (and probably still does have) more locations than any other restaurant in the United States. This wasn't a result of MBAs gone mad, it was because Subway's founder and CEO was hellbent on expansion.

A few years back Subway realized it had too many stores and started trying to bust out franchise owners with bogus writeups for violation and franchise revocations.

it was 3 pronged which started with the death of the CEO and his sister taking over
she then over saturated the market, at one point my town had 13 locations in it

and the $5 footlong devalued their product. It created an idea in the mind of the public that their footlong sandwiches are not worth more than $5, even as costs rise
people wont buy them if they cost more than $5, but their margins aren't good enough to sell them for that amount

To make things even worse, the firm I worked for was a mismanaged trainwreck too. Turnover was higher than I've ever seen at a professional firm. Nothing was standardized so we had to deal with every single client differently. New staff received virtually no training, help, or guidance and were thrown to the wolves from day 1. First year staff were preparing and signing a wide range of tax returns without review and doing other stuff that wouldn't be done by anyone lower than a manager at a normal firm.

I work at a much larger CPA firm now, and with just a couple exceptions where things went horribly wrong, every single client is better than the old firm's best clients.

This, they tried to squeeze every last ounce of blood out of it. It was a 15 year pump and dump by the franchise corporate.

I put almost all the blame on the CEO of the company, not his underlings. Fred DeLuca was CEO from the company's start until he died in 2015. He knew exactly what was going on and he was onboard with it.

Subway was aggressively expanding and selling franchises like crazy in the 90s. The restaurant was giving franchises to people who had no business owning a restaurant and didn't understand what they were getting into. They treated their existing franchisees like trash. Just an all around horrible company to do a franchise deal with.

because I can go into my local Penn Station, DiBella's, Five Guys, or Jersey Mike's, and get a considerably better, more fresh sandwich for a slight price increase. When I walk into the Subway closest to me, I have seen flies landing on the food one more than one occasion.

Subway corporate probably does ok on $5 footlongs in the short term. Franchisees have to kick up 12.5% of sales to corporate, so every time they sell a sub Subway gets about 60 cents. I think some of the 12.5% is specifically used for advertising only.

That said, franchisees fucking hated the $5 footlong, so it clearly wasn't making franchisees much money. Pissing off your franchisees and making them unprofitable to the benefit of corporate is not a recipe for corporate success in the long run.

GM, while not having the exact same saturation in the market, was in the same ballpark of wildly successful growth as Microsoft in the late 90s, and declared bankruptcy in 2009. And Kodak's fall from consumer photo dominance to bankruptcy took place over a similar period.

You can also have a company receive bailouts and still go bankrupt, like GM did in 2009.

Even if a company has a large amount of assets and products which are immensely valuable on their own, the operating costs, loans, and organizational inefficiencies of a company can cause bankruptcy if they accrue a net operating loss over time. And if a company is sufficiently unappealing to feasible buyers, the company might just be left to fester until a split occurs or they are completely insolvent and left to the highest bidder.

Microsoft has less absolute production costs than GM and Kodak, but they still have workers, offices (well, maybe less now), and hosting to pay for.

As for Subway, while there is always the possibility of it going bankrupt given enough boneheaded choices by corporate, the franchisee-franchisor relationship should offload most of the initial chain establishment and local operating costs to the franchisee.

So as long as there is not a sudden drop in stores or an extremely bloated/inefficient corporate, they should be able to weather a long-term decline in stores. If you're in a decent-sized town there are probably at least a dozen chain restaurants in a similar position.

Mass agriculture in the USA is heavily driven by yield size, so there a push to increase it above all else. This has led to vegetables of more consistent size and shape, but lower nutritional content and less ideal taste.
Still about as filling in the short run though, and you've got cheap sauces for the taste part.

Varies from vegetable to vegetable. IMHO tomatoes really suffer from this in terms of taste, while onions are largely unaffected.

I don't recall ever seeing a consistent ethnic/racial association with Subway chains. Majority black in majority black areas, majority white in majority white areas, etc. Maybe you live in an area with a large amount of Indians/Pakistanis?

Regardless in most restaurants you can see them making the sandwich, washing their hands, etc. and replenishing the food from premade containers. Sure, I imagine workers could go out of their way to adulterate food before preparation if they were compelled to do so, but at that point you may as well not eat out if that's a serious concern at all.

The 5$ foot long fucked them. With inflation and the general rising cost of ingredients it was a matter of time until it blew up in their face, and now no one is going to pay more than 5$ for a shitty sub when you could go to any infinitely better sub shop for the same price as their shit sandwiches

The ingredients don't cost near $5, but there are a shitload of other costs to running a Subway. Subway's sandwiches are labor intensive and slow to make for fast food, especially if you get one toasted.

All the ingredients taste like they're a week old. They cost the same as Jimmy Johns which is way better too.

So all the claims of shilling on this site beforehand were seemingly BS, but my boring-ass claim was the hit the nail on the head?
Why would a corporate shill suggest you NOT eat at the restaurant, rather than completely attempt to discount their claims of adulteration.

I don't think subway is the cleanest restaurant, and in most places of note it is hardly the best offering for sandwiches. I am just saying:
1. Where I live there is no apparent trend of Indians being the daily workers. Maybe franchisees for all I know, but I assume he's talking about any of the "sandwich chefs" or whatever they call them.
2. As far as fast-food chains go, subway gives you much more opportunity to see your food being prepared and employees washing their hands (or not) than other chains, because they usually prepare it in the same open space.

I think it's just the case that in his area the subways are staffed primarily by Indians, and he needs a greater purpose for the injustice of being served by people he would prefer not to have being anywhere near his food beyond the most obvious reason:
It's a cheap franchise that attracts people looking to start a cheap business with perceived low risks. The owner is probably Indian and was convinced by the pitch or by people they know (probably Indian), they hire who they know or identify with (probably Indian), and the chain repeats.

Where I live there is a trend of Indians working in 7/11s and gas stations, but not in Subways.

Because it's extremely easy to get a franchise, and immigrants from these cultures have a strong desire to own businesses. Sensible business people stay the fuck away from Subway because even the successful Subways don't make that much money. You're basically buying yourself a mediocre job when you buy a Subway franchise.
