Subway sucks. I liked how a week ago some employee threatened to punch a customer or something cause he wanted ketchup for his cheesesteak, and the employee said they don't provide ketchup. Then claimed his reasoning was "Who puts ketchup on a cheesesteak?"
Gee, I dunno, 75% of Philadelphians who eat cheesesteaks NOT made at shi**y locations like Subway.

Does anyone remember the "sub club" when they used to give people stamps each time they got a sub so that when they buy 8 subs they get one free? Now with the magnet swipe cards you need to buy closer to 15 subs before getting a free one, and I can't even imagine how many times the register person has failed to add my points on when I purchased something. Probably over $100 worth of food easily that I didn't get credit for buying. Why are they so incredibly frugal? They are the largest restaurant chain on the planet I think. They can't say they are doing poorly. lol. If they are all that bad, why do you keep going back??

Their bread is a crap shoot. If you get it hot and fresh it is usually good. Often they will load a fresh batch in and will sometimes let me have one of the fresh ones. Other times they say its too hot. Whatever.
Their prices are really going through the roof. I used to love getting the steak and cheese but now I just get whatever they have on the $5.00 deal. That works out pretty well for me. I get two meals loaded with meat, veggies and the bread for $2.50 per meal.

I worked at one for a couple months. Break comes in frozen, you spray water onto it, put it in the oven. Take it out of the oven and put them into the poofer.
Ta da. You have bread.

Subway sucks!
Super high sodium in their meat.
And they do not make you a fresh sandwich...everything is pre-cut in a factory.

The bread was never a problem for me at Subways.
The only problem I ever had at one was in Seattle, where I waited at the counter while the only person on staff was outside washing the rubber floor mats from the work area. When he dragged them back in and was ready to serve us, he wiped his nose with his wet hand and then wiped his hands on his apron. With his still-unwashed bare hands he rearranged some cheese and meats in the trays and then asked us what we wanted.
He looked slightly bewildered when I asked if he was going to wash his hands, but I wasn't about to get a sandwich made of stuff he'd just handled, so we walked. And when one family walked in the door we informed them and they did a one-eighty.

I also haven't had any issues with dry bread at Subway. They've been pretty decent around my area. That said, I do like Togo's slightly better than Subway.

Subway is fast food, not matter how you doctor it up.
As McDonalds is to the burger, so subway is to the sandwich.
If I'm going to eat FF, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking it's healthy.

OP, remember that Subway has both corporate run and franchise locations. It could be the ones you go to are trying to skimp and use bread that should have been tossed. Not defending them - but this is a possibility.

Mr. Sub is much better. I think they are Canada only.
Quiznos is also quite good.

I'm just afraid that one day every street in every town in the whole world will smell the same. That special Subway aroma.

Maybe for retail, but for a sandwich shop that doesn't make any sense. Subway's into making sandwiches on demand, not selling bread for keeping at home. Whether the bread is same-day-fresh or just fresh-for-a-few-days, they'll still sell the same number of sandwiches.

Hmmmm.... bummer.
Subway is usually my go-to spot when I'm on the road. A big veggie
sandwich with everything doesn't weigh me down, tastes yummy
and is fast and cheap.

He's talking about all the money he spends with them, that he's LOST $100, but still goes back to get their dry, fattening sammy!

It's really funny, because there's a WalMart with a Subway inside it and right next store to said WalMart is...you guessed it...a Subway.

I'd even cut some holes in the box so the USPS thinks I'm shipping a puppy. Then they'll make sure the package gets to you on time.
Can't say it worked for the last three puppies I shipped, but for a sammich it's not that important if it gets to you a day or two late.
