Note to Self: SUbway still sucks.

The sandwich shop (and just about everything other than McDonalds) is still closed around here this morning so I figured I'd give Subway a chance since it was actually open. $8.59 got me a footlong Teriyaki Chicken sandwich on wheat bread and two cookies...no drink. The sandwich might as well come from a fucking vending machine. :mad:
 
Subway always gives me terrible shits now. They must've changed their bread or something. I wouldn't exactly call subway nice but I don't think its the worst of the worst :embarrassed:
 
Hmm, well with places like that, it's best to keep it simple and you get disappointed less. Always take a good look at the veggies to make sure they look good and not mushy before putting them on the sub, pick a meat that can't be messed up (pepperoni, salami, turkey) (the spice Italian is usually a good choice and $5 too) not something like their microwaved chicken breast that usually tastes like cardboard or that seafood gunk.

If you ever get the balls to try it again, get a simple spicy Italian, ask them what their freshest bread is and use that, add a few veggies that look good and some Italian dressing. Get water, and you're out the door for a little over a 5 spot, and it won't taste like shit either.
 
Well, Subway is one of the few chains I will go to... However, I always get the grilled chicken breast, lots of spinach, lots of onions, lots of jalapenos, a little mustard, and some vinegar... Never get any of their gooey sauces, such as teryaki, or southwestern...

Sure beats the hell out of any other chain...

I'm a spinach man myself. Do you always notice that they ask you what veggies you want and without even listening start reaching for the lettuce right away like a trained drone, then half-way through the action it registers that I didn't say lettuce and said spinach instead, then there's a 2 second period of dumbfoundedness, and finally they put the spinach on? Or is it just me? :grin:

Yea, I get that dumbfounded look when I ask for spinach while they are assuming what I want... Then, I have to convince them that I want a LOT of it, not 3 leafs... Extra onion means just that! I always seem to have to get them to give me a few helpings to make it more than a bread and meat sandwich... Then, they have a confused look on how can this guy like jalapenos...

Another issue I forgot to mention to Mark is that those cookies, chips, and drinks is where they make the most money, and you are paying an extra 3 bucks for junk... I only drink water, and I know that those cookies are loaded with crap I don't need, so I avoid them...
