I just want to know why the Subways in my city are now both more expensive and less tasty/filling than any other sub/hoagie options in the area.
I don't go to subway anymore because the last footlong I bought cost me $13, no drink no chips, and was skimpy as hell. The next day I went to a deli/convenience chain and bought a $10 sandwich that was longer, fresher, and thicker.
Same. You can get firehouse for the same price as subway here. It's a no brainer. We still have a few quiznos around as well, which are marginally better than subway. I can't imagine why anyone would visit one anymore outside of it literally being the only option in the immediate area.
There used to be a Firehouse literally 7 minutes from where I live, but it closed a few years ago. :( That used to be my go-to sandwich place, now I've settled for Jersey Mike's (which I expect to start enshittifying now that some holding company or whoever bought them).
Once that happens, I'll just go back to ordering subs from Italian places. You pay $20 for a 16"-18" sub, sure, but you at least get what feels like $20 worth of food.
