I used to consider Subway for lunch.... then Subway began to suck up to the Obama administration.

That was essentially the end of my relationship with Subway.

Get out of politics and make me a samich.

Since Subway did the Michelle Oblowme marketing thing, I’ve not stepped one foot into any of their locations. Which really sucks for the franchisees. Not the fault of franchise owners but they take the blow for stupid corporate politically driven decisions.

They’ve gotten too expensive. Footlong for $5? Cool. For $8?
No.

Their food is tasteless garbage & there seems to be a location on every other block.

The meat portions keep getting smaller. Pretty soon they will just use a ‘meat’ spray to flavor the bread. I don’t go any more.

I really like their breakfast steak and egg white sandwich, but I’m minimizing carbs and I just don’t do bread much anymore.

This discount gimmick is what really messed up franchise Burger King owners in Germany all peeved. The franchise HQ’s was pumping out discount coupons every single month to get more people to stop in and buy BK products. But the franchise owners weren’t seeing any profits with the increased sales. The franchise big guys were making the profits off selling burgers, buns, etc....to the individual franchise shop operations.

Subway is basically repeating the same formula.

I used be a twice-a-week person at Subway, and I think they still have a good decent product.

Once you get customer hooked on discounts, they expect them eternally and will not buy without them.

Remember these guys from a couple years back (Jos Banks)? Who bought there at regular prices?

I don’t know how anyone can eat that s**t.

Are there no good sub shops across America?
Or am I just blessed that I live in the northeast, where there’s one on practically every other street corner??

Part of this may also be a growing wariness of eating food doled out by low wage kids from air exposed containers caused by Chipotle’s recent exposure as e-coli city. Thanks for the tip about their politics, though. They’re off my options list altogether now.

I used to go to Subway at least several times a month, until they had some short lived advertising campaign that featured the Mooch.

Never, ever liked Subway - it was the last place in the local food court I’d visit - mother loved it, though b/c they had a punch card at the time and the 10th sandwich was free.

Place always smelled funny.

That Subway was always busy, opened at 7 AM and was right next to an extremely busy Starbucks, one of the busiest in the state the manager told me b/c it’s the closest one to the airport.

Subway went out of business about a month ago - we were really shocked.

I’d say California’s high minimum wage law is hurting their bottom line as well.

They got stingy with the meats which were reduced in quality and began using bread with an unpleasant bitter aftertaste, preservatives I’d guess. That’s why they’re going down, I’ll spend several dollars more at Jimmy John’s for good meat and plenty of it on good bread if I feel like a sub sandwich anymore.

Jimmy John’s is a bit more expensive but better quality and more ingredients.

Fred DeLuca was an inspiration for me (in business.) His book, “Start Small, Finish Big” taught me some profitable lessons.

I have not eaten at Subway since well before Jared was outed as a pervert.

Every Subway franchise near me is owned by Arabs (I think they are “Palestinians”). The staff is without exception quite morose, and they act as if they are doing you a favor to give you more than one napkin per sandwich.

Give me Firehouse Subs any day!

Between the not soft bread, skimpy meat, flies on the toppings, Jarred and Moochie, well...
