Subway

Subway is pretty decent around here. Our mayor owns the ones here. Eight or ten locations, I believe. Jersey Mike's is way better, but it's also about double the price. I've seen no signs banning weapons at either place. Jersey Mike's (only one location here) actually has a sign up that they welcome open carry. Firehouse is pretty good, too. Jimmy John's is kinda like eating soggy cardboard on a bun IMO.
Lots of Karens in this World
Why would you ask him that? Why would you care? If it's not your place of business what business is it of yours?
Again, why? If the business isn't posted wouldn't the default presumption be that carry is permitted? If the manager had told you the store prohibited open carry what would you have done?

My son took a job in the Subway in our little town when he was in high school. His girlfriend (at the time) worked there too which is why I think he wanted to work there. During this time, he was on the high school lacrosse team (he went on to play four years in college).The high school lacrosse practice and games were interfering with his scheduled hours at Subway. One Saturday, the owner said to him, "You have to choose between lacrosse and working here". He answered, without hesitation, "I choose lacrosse". 
Noooooo....
....but they can ASK? I hope any companies that they 'ask' tells them to mind their own business. Just another ploy. They say that dripping water wears away rock. (Old Chinese Proverb)

Besides the amazing stinginess with the meat, the bread just blows. I've eaten, almost never by choice, at Subways in Alabama, FL, GA, KY, Indiana, and many times in Ohio, the last time at the hospital when my mother was close to the end. It was just awful. Amazingly bad. The one hospital here had a McDonald's inside it, and at least it tasted as good as McD's ever is, which is better than Subway.
I've never had bread at a Subway that wasn't hard on one end, or both ends. I just say no now when someone wants to go there. I just go to a grocery store and buy either pita bread or French bread and have a half pound of ham or roast beef sliced at the deli counter, and I'm set. If the deli is closed, I just buy a tub of something in the lunch meat section. It's usually cheaper and 100X better than subway. If I want a little bag of chips with it, it's still usually cheaper for much better chips like Ballreich's or even Lays. If I want a sub type sandwich and don't want to get out of the car, I go to Arby's and get the French Dip with no cheese (I hate cheese) and no dip(Too salty, makes me drink all day), and I'm not angry when I eat it, like Subway makes me. If Subway disappeared, I would be happy to see them go.
These could all go, and I wouldn't miss them at all:
McDonald's-Nothing like it used to be.
Subway
Taco Bell
Chipotle
Rally's/Checker's
Chik-Fila
KFC
Church's
Any Pizza place.
Panda Express.
I would certainly hate to have those two gone. Ruthie has to have her weekly Chick-fil-A fix and I let her eat some of my waffle fries as God intended as she won't order fries for herself.

Unexplainable universal wife behavior. "No, I don't want any fries." Then when the fries come wife eats 1/2. One more un-understandable mystery about women.
Man, isn't that a fact.
The worst of it with my good wife is her drinking all my soda when she told me not to get one for her because she didn't want any. 
Then I have to stop and get myself another one or drive wherever we are going bone dry.
But I am getting smarter. If I ask her, she'll always say she doesn't want any. So the smarter thing to do is not ask and to get one for her regardless. Even if she doesn't drink it, at least I am not going dry on the road.
Sometimes you just need to be thankful for what you can get. On a visit to Cherokee NC about 10 years ago, the best "restaurant" we could find outside the casino, which had few meal choices, was a Pizza Hut.
I never eat at PH, Domino's or any of those type chains. We were so hungry and tired of looking, we ate there. The food was horrible even by PH standards, like ketchup on toast, yuck.

I've eaten at Jersey Mike's and Firehouse subs and was not impressed and they were more expensive. There's a Subway on every corner around here and the food is always consistently decent but I don't eat much bread anymore since my Doctor said I have level 3 out of 4 Gluten allergies which I never knew about. Subway's meats and veggies are always pretty fresh and you can pick any subway sandwich and have it made into a spinach or lettuce salad and it's a fast way to grab a healthy lunch when you're on the go. I'm always in a hurry during the day and don't have much time to eat when I'm working and it's a whole better than most fast foods.

We used to hit Subways on occasion, there OK nothing great!
I have mentioned this before but the worst experience we ever had at a Subways was at Corvettes at Carlisle. (the one inside the fair grounds.) The biggest problem was most of that crew realy did not want to be there and it showed big time.
A whole list of problems and we did send a complaint to corporate. Got $20 in nationally honored gift cards which we gave away.

While a nice option, I never really understood why they charge extra for salad when it's basically a sandwich without the bread.
FWIW, the other sub shops, at least the ones I mentioned in an earlier post, will do the same. I'm not sure, but I think they charge extra for it, too.

Just a guess. Besides "what the market will bear," the spinach is more expensive than bread and has less shelf life, so more waste.
At the grocery stores here, I can probably get 2 large loaves of bread for the same price as a smallish plastic box of lettuce.

The Firehouse Subs not far from me has closed, I liked their free refills for soda. The two Subways in my town have closed, the last time I ate in one I had a chicken sandwich, it was very blah !
Companies that are in the least anti 2A and RKBA do not get my business.

I thought you were going to say that Jarred was giving pointers to Ghislane.

If you like getting that deer in the headlight look, ask them to cut it into threes.Subway is one of my preferred lunches on a road trip.
"Foot long Monterey Cheddar with pepper jack, toasted.
Tuna with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, jalapeños, black olives, a bead of mayo and a little salt and pepper.
Please wrap the two halves separately, so I can eat it while moving on down the highway."
Mmmmmmmmm!

Well, this puts things in perspective a bit.
I get irritated at folks who get too angry about politics and other stuff that actually matters.
Getting this emotionally invested in something as trivial as a sandwich is certainly on a different level.

I keep hoping they will get a true Italian sub with all the good stuff like Prosicuito and cappacoli and all the other good stuff and green/salad olives. Can't stand black olives.
Penn Station is good. I like Jersey Mikes too. Subway is ok but not my favorite. I quickly learned to not use their mayonnaise or whatever it is. I react badly to it (no need to go into specifics!). I've switched to mustard.
I'm impressed at how quickly Jimmy Johns can crank them out - it is sometimes ready before I've finished paying for it.
