Most people don’t order property and forget the oregano, oil and vinegar.

Notice how the meat is folded so nicely in the above .Gif? EVERY time I’ve gone to Subway, the meat is slapped on flat. It does not make for a satisfying sandwich.

JJ’s have a different model. You don’t have the same number of choices, but they make it fast and with higher quality food. That limits their inventory and training.

That and a JJ will have six people at peak times where a Subway may have 3.

They are getting their clocks cleaned by fast casual restaurants that offer better food for the same price basically.

You're right lodi.

They partnered with Michelle Obama and I haven't been back since.

Same for me.

In Michigan we have Tubby’s. Much better.

And now we have Jersey Mike’s. Great cheesesteak sandwiches.

I have to say, I’ve tried the much-hyped Firehouse Subs twice and found them not really any better than Subway. Might just be me, though.

Prefer Firehouse Subs anyway

I like to tell my local Firehouse Subs manager while I wait for my utterly delicious Hook & Ladder sub, 'If I were at Jimmy John's, I would already not be enjoying my sub.'

He loves hearing that almost as much as I love saying it.

Last time I went there (they were right across the street from my workplace), they put pickles on my meatball sub.

Since this was tantamount to treason, I never went back. Their food was pretty bad anyway.

Subway is garbage. Their meats are awful. Their bread is half-assed. Their staff is often ill-tempered.

I’d rather go to Publix and get one of their amazing subs.

[Flying Circus]

Exactly. I’m so grossed out by how it stinks up the local Wal-Mart I don’t want to go near one.

[FatherofFive]

Ate at Subway once. My children make better food. I don’t eat processed foods or grains.

[ken5050]

I don’t eat at Subway...but seems to me all their marketing efforts involves discounting/couponing...which is not a good thing.

[lacrew]

I’m sure Jared didn’t help. Also, the few times I go into one, I find that the employees are very un-motivated...slow...complain to each other about fellow employees in front of customers, etc. I really can’t remember the last time I went into a Subway, and didn’t hear employees complaining among themselves. Kind of ruins the experience.

Whole bunch of Subways in Paris - a real curiosity to me.

I would hardly call closing stores evidence of their being in trouble. If you have over built your business, it’s survival to trim it to fit your circumstances.

In my town, we have both Speedway and Sheetz. Each is open 24 hours and has a sandwich menu better than Subway for about 40% less. They also have pizza, burgers, salads, sides and a wide variety of drinks.

The only thing Subway offers which they don't is indoor seating.

And, yeah, they also sell gas and provide clean johnny flushers.

In the land of drippy roast beef po boys Skimpy Subway is a joke. Why dont we demand food look like the ads?

[NorthstarMom]

I wonder if pizza quality varies between different Casey’s stores. We picked up pizzas there for the first time and even my teenage boys didn’t eat a lot-they normally eat huge amounts of food. All the kids said it was too greasy, pizzas were sitting in a pool of oil.

[null and void]

I never understood what was so special about Subway.

If you don't particularly like meat, love vegetables and adore flavorless bread, Subway's da bomb!

[MortMan]

Hmmm, I wonder if it’s the Jared affect?
