    I don’t recall ordering a piece of plastic in my sandwich on my last trip there years ago. Got it anyway. The blank stare I got when I told the worker said “I have no idea why you care that your sandwich contains plastic” lol

    I know this is a shitpost but I’ll never pass an opportunity to shit on subway.

    It’s the shit quality ingredients and how they keep changing everything.

    I use to eat subway all the time. Then they changed the only fuckin sauce I ever got, then removed it completely. I was fine with other sauces but then they started fucking with them too. This along with the ever increasing drop in overall quality of ingredients I can’t even eat half a 6" without feeling sick.

    Signed - Someone who used to fucking love subway ranting about how it’s been completely ruined.

      It’s crazy to me how wildly varying Subways can be, all the Subways in my area are fairly decent and I like them.

      I particularly like Subway because of the choice of veggies, I literally say “all veggies” at the veggies part and I know damn well I’m not even going to keep a fraction of the veggies at home. I can’t even keep lettuce good for very long before it goes nasty.

        Its the franchising. Mcdonalds for all its faults keep a tight reign on things so it remains consistant. BK and subway you can see they do not or have very lax rules. There was one near my house awhile back where if the owners were working it you did not want to go in. Old wilted lettuce and such. Once in awhile they were gone and their kids were alone in the shop. I think the kids threw out anything they found gross. Working off the idea of what they would want for themselves. Then it was one of the best in the area. Unfortunately the kids being unsupervised was a rarity and so it could not actually get more traction from those good experiences as they were to few and far between. I actually have this problem now with a non chain gyro shop near me. The one we went to closed down but the new one I found gets to low of traffic and again. wilted lettuce and whatnot. Without more traffic you won’t get fresh stuff. If they were smart they would wait to cut the tomatoe and lettuce until someone ordered which would make a better experience and maybe more traffic and eventually they could do the ahead of time prep. As it stands now it will go out of business or be on kitchen nightmares.

      I remember when the first one opened around me in high school and it was great and my friends and I hit it up pretty regularly. That was back when burger king was good to. Both went down over the years.

    That’s why I don’t go to subway.

    My brother in christ I’m paying you to make the sandwich.

    If I wanna make one myself I go to the grocery store. Wait they have premade ones too for cheaper. Oh and there’s a bakery at the grocery store that sells sandwiches too, and they even taste better than subway! That’s like a 3-0 for the grocery store

    Also who the fuck came up with a ‘0.3048m long’ as sandwich name??

    When I visited the us that was a major culture shock. How much of an almost irrelevant choice there is on food and many other things. In Germany if I go to a bar and order a beer there is no question. You just fest the standard beer of the region and or bar. There are like 4-5 beers on tab at most.

    Subway is the only gluten free option fast food in UK. It’s the only place I can reliably eat at and I’ve yet to have a bad experience, staff goes above and beyond to not cross contaminate their food.

      I’ve got some coeliac family and they seem to have reasonable luck with some chippies! That will certainly vary by location and maybe you don’t have a good one near you (or just don’t like it as much), but chippies that do a good job of catering for gluten-free diets certainly exist

        We have few around. But if you’re out and about exploring… Find me gluten free app doesn’t always list reasonable places. Subway is more common than any other fast food so it is bound to have one within walking distance.

      You don’t like bread that immediately squishes into warm paper towel cover in oregano?

      A footlong sub can be a meal, if you put enough stuff on it. And the veggies don’t make it cost more. Just load it up with everything and get your money’s worth.

    I mean… you don’t have any choice about the quality of the meat. Didn’t Subway get in trouble because they couldn’t prove their tuna salad actually contained any, uh… tuna?

      Not really. There was a lawsuit that claimed they contain no tuna. A lab found no tuna DNA, a different lab did. The lawsuit shifted to “does not contain only this type if tuna”.

      Also highly processed food (especially after it was cooked) does not contain any DNA that is identifiable.

    I haven’t been to a Subway since the first time I went to a Subway.

    It’s like if every other sandwich shop was 200% worse, and the same price and everyone hated their lives.

    Wrong sandwich shop died, Quiznos. Should’ve been these fuckers.
