Minor rant, but I went to Subway sub shop the other day and asked for a three meat and cheese combo. The slices of ham, bologna and salami stacked together didn't measure 1/16 of an inch, together about the thickness of a toothpick. The two pieces of provolone you could read a newspaper through.
So today the Sunday newspaper have coupons for Subway and show a Buffalo Chicken sub stacked inches high with chicken. Betcha I can't get one that looks like the picture.
No wonder Jerrod lost so much weight.
I'll never go back!
Rant over.

Take the coupon in and ask for one just like the picture. I'd be interested in what you get.
 
I was fed up with them and all of the other FastSlop places a long time ago.
 
Never liked Subway for the reasons you stated. We have a Mom Pop little hole in the wall sub shop. Transplanted New Yorkers. I do not see how they have stayed in business for over 20 years. Their is so much meat on the sandwich it has to be a 1lb (full length) and it cost less than if you bought 1lb of meat at the grocery store.

I'm ready for LUNCH!
 
Probley depends more on who is at the counter. I usualy get two different sandwichs, bacon comes with the wifes type. She doesnt want the bacon so I always have them put her bacon on my sandwich. About a month ago a new kid was at the counter. He was going to charge me extra for putting her bacon on my sandwich! I got hot! Manager came out and apologised in front of him saying it was his first day. I apoligised back.
 
That's why I like our local sub shop, you want a full sub, it weighs about 4-5 pounds, and take two-three days to eat, and costs $10.

I never had much luck asking them to 'make it like the picture'. They always insist on asking me if I want every little thing on the sandwich anyway. I was told they are not allowed to just, 'make it like the picture'.
 
We have a few subway's around here and they all suck for the same reason.

Wanna know why??
So you spend the extra money for the "double meat" option.

I have switched my sub love to Quizno's, and I won't go back.
 
The problem around here with the portions is that you have to keep on them or you'll just get 2 olive slices and 3 pickles on a 6" sub. Anouther gripe is that entering a Subway shop is like walking into a third work country. Some are like walking into the entire freaking United Nations.
 
Have you ever noticed that the person prepping your food apportions items according to their personal likes and dislikes. If they like your particular choice of dressing or garnish you get a lot of it. If they dislike the particular item you barely get a sampling. I asked for black olive on a sandwich in a subway sometime back and got six slices. I asked the girl preparing my sandwich if she liked black olive. "Can't stand them" was the response. I always ask for my salad dressing on the side...if the person applying the dressing likes dressing you can literally end up w/ soup & salad in one bowl.
 
Sounds like not much has changed in over 30 years.

The best deal is probably still their meatless sub, or veggie sub (whatever it is called these days).

Order one with everything, and extra oil and vinegar, it should fill you up.
 
I like Subway. They fix it just like I ask every time (it helps a lot if you ask nicely). Five bucks for a foot long is not a bad deal compared to most of the other fast food places. As far as who is behind the counter...they make a little more than minimum wage and are just trying to get by like all the rest of the minimum wages folks out there and frankly I don't care what color they are or where they are from as long as they do the job. I have never been in a Subway that wasn't extremely clean, neat and tidy, not the case at McD's, Burger king etc.. If you don't like Subway the solution is quite simple...don't go. (o;

Don't go there anymore - thin-thin slice of meat and 1" of lettuce

That's exactly what I got. I couldn't believe they could slice meat that thin, each slice was the thickness of paper. The last time I was in a Subway (different state) it was just as bad and they haven't changed one bit. How they manage to stay in business screwing the public like that, I don't know.
The local Publix supermarket makes a sub that has ten times the meat, a foot long for $6.49.
