Subway to Everyone Else: only we can sell FOOTLONGS (tm)

oh, and there really is nothing wrong with Subway. It fucking destroys Quizno's any day.

Value > overpriced mediocrity & Apple-like marketing.

I really do love the value; at my local subway I can get a flatbread chicken breast for $3.50, and I pile on the toppings. Onions, peppers, lettuce, pickles, olives, spinach, cucumbers, and some mustard. The price is right and it's always nice to have more options. McDonalds probably provides better value, but I'm finding myself less and less able to handle too much of their food. I find myself throwing away portions of the value meals I'll get. Still, it's a good vice for every now and then.

actually, McDonald's does not provide better value. ...unless you like paying $0.99 for POISON.

I used to fuck with people like that when I worked at BK, but only when I was in a really godawful mood 😉

This backfired on me onetime when I worked at Sheetz. Drunk guy asked for extra cheese, sourcream, and salsa on his nachos and I put about a gallon of each on there. He spilled it all over himself, but every time after that he would come and ask for the nachos "like you made them that first time".

I like the Big Town Hero in town a lot more than Subway but its way more expensive. The Quizno's is stingy here so I avoid it.

not really a sub, but http://www.schlotzskys.com/ are pretty good for a chain, as is Jimmy John's


subway is only when there is nothing else available and I'm craving a sub type sandwich.


and I don't think this trademark of theirs is going vary far as 'footlong' has been in use for years on a number of products.

SANDWICH (TM) stop using it...... 🙄

That's about right.

You ask for olives and they give you 4, but you ask for a condiment and they drown your sandwich in it.

got to look buff doing it...then they are very careful.

Personally I think there is a big connection to anyone ever working fast food places and truly succeeding in life.

So true. It usually goes like this:
Me: "A little bit of X please"
[they put one line instead of the usual 4-5]
Them: "Is that enough?"
Me: "Just a little bit more"
[they add 4-5more lines just to spite me with more than I would have had had I never specified "a little."]
Me: "FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU......"

Which leads me to...

That's about right.

You ask for olives and they give you 4, but you ask for a condiment and they drown your sandwich in it.

Which is why I now always specify "X thin lines of X" when I ask for a liquid condiment. 😉

When I want salt and peper but extra pepper on, say, a tuna sub, I'm specific enough... they have combined salt + pepper shaker and a different pepper-only shaker, so I ask for salt + pepper and then ask for more pepper but no more salt. They can hardly screw up.
