Geez, what kind of pants are you buying?
I went back in October to a Subway, tried their chicken sub, half, while the chicken is good, if you want more chicken meat,you had paid 75 cents more. Not surprised that there is a growing revolt.
If companies feel they just MUST give the finger to half the American people - there’s a price to pay.
It’s not that hard to figure out... people of either party would react the same way.
Just make the food... please.
In Florida, too, Wawa is the place for subs, hoagies...Subway expanded to quickly and the last time it was bad. Wawa Nevers disappoint me...
PotBelly’s is my fav.
Probably in protective custody in a prison somewhere...
They’re very nice tailored slacks. But I don’t shop there, I was given a gift card by my boss for $300...I only paid the difference.
Grossly overpriced. Plastic in the bread. Perv spokesman. Obama.
It’s always a pleasure crossing jerks like that off my list. Argue over a buck, lose a customer forever.
That's exactly why I quit going there too.
Our local Subway was good. The owners were local and they were generous with their toppings and their meats, but I’ve been to subways in the larger cities you can practically see through the meat, it was so thin. Now our local is owned by an outside franchisee, and the amount of food on the sandwiches has decreased.
... some friends of ours visiting from France. “How can Americans buy and enjoy food from the same place they buy gasoline to put in their car?”
This, from people who eat horses and things that hop and leave slime trails.
Subway doesn’t give a damn about the profit margin of their franchises. They care only about customer counts and the top line....because their royalties and fees are based on total sales numbers, not operating margins. Owning a franchise is a tough row to hoe for this reason.
Are there no good sub shops across America?

Years ago Subway's franchisees sued because the company was siting its franchises too close together (in the view of the franchisees). The big pressure comes from Jimmy John's surely, it does around here. Arby's is also big in part thanks to their 2-5 happy hour $1 specials and the $1.39 sliders. Thanks SoFloFreeper.
Took my firefighter son there for lunch. They play up the whole started by firefighters thingy. They're happy to post all the local FD action pictures.
They give discounts to the local PD, but not the FD.
Go figure.
This is pretty much a non-story.
400 franchisers protest.
Out of 44,758.
My math says that is less than 1%.
They must be shaking in their boots over at corporate.
My son worked at Subway in High School. His clothing reeked and so did he. I swear it came out of his pores. I could never eat at Subway after that. Disgusting!
The "Italian sandwich" was created in Portland Maine by Giovanni Amato in 1903. (We still have Amato's Italian restaurants in Maine.)
It's a long fresh Italian-bread roll, with ham, cheese, green peppers, onions, tomato, pickle, black olives and olive oil. But you can get them any way you want. Sometimes I get the same, only with salami and mustard.
Flatlanders call them subs.
As others have mentioned....Subway sucks....and so does Red Lobster.
