I wish I didn't have to tell the expert artisanal sandwich craftsman how to make the sandwich step by step. "I'd like a number 5"

-What bread? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-Toasted? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What meat? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What veggies? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What cheese? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What sauce? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

Why bother selling meals if each component requires a conversation. The fucking meal option should skip that bulshit unless initially ordered as such. 'I'd like a number 5 with everything different than advertised'

The meme is correct.

Subway, not unlike Lil Caesars, is soooo good when you ain't got some bitch in your ear telling you it's trash.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 48 minutes ago

I also actually do like Subway.

It's it the best thing ever? No. But when I have the choice between McDonald's, some bread bun with maybe a single slice of salad and subway, the choice is very clear. All their options come with good amounts of veggies, they had decent vegetarian options quite early, their cookies rock and they were one of the few offering free refills.

I dunno what the snobbism is always about. I love it when I need to wait for a train and Subway is an option.

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

[–] PP_BOY_ 8 points 7 hours ago

You fool, that was the Plastic Ticket. Due to inflation, some franchises may not have the Golden ones. You could've redeemed that for a free tour of Jared Fogle's house

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Personally I'm the kind of guy that would probably just remove it and keep eating, however it should be noted that piece of plastic was likely wrapping one of the ingredients, that means one side would be clean and food safe but the other would be the side that laid on random stuff/surfaces, got pissed on by rats in the warehouse, etc etc. Again I wouldn't be too fussed myself because I think a bit of exposure to nasty stuff is part of life but I can definitely see how it could be a problem.

I find Subway absolutely gross anyway and would never eat there, my partner likes it though..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Subway worker: That's... That's the bread.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 71 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Where are you from? I was in Subway after a long break (a few years) and the only thing that changed was that they added vegan options, everything was as fresh and tasty as I remembered it. And expensive. Eastern EU here.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 5 points 5 hours ago

Eastern EU

Yeah that would be why. I live in the states.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

It's so expensive now too and the veggies taste like water. 6.99 for a 6inch cold cut in Canada

[–] cm0002 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I miss the OG UK kitchen nightmares, the American ones are pretty unwatchable for me personally but these UK ones were great comfort TV.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

All of the possible combinations taste kinda same tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

If your chicken tastes like tuna, I don't know what to tell you

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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??

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They don't have an option for bread that doesn't ruin everything

[–] simplejack 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Diplomjodler3 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If all you have to choose from is shit, you'll always end up with a shit sandwich.

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.

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 get the standard beer of the region and or bar. There are like 4-5 beers on tab at most.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

On another note, an American friend that lives in Germany now told me that the German subs taste wayyyy better as in incomparably better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Could be but there aren't that many subways left. At some point you could find them everywhere then there was a problem? with the franchise and many rebranded to MrSub or something and soon after closed. At least in my area.

[–] lepinkainen 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A footlong sub (not a meal) is around 13€ here.

I can get a full ass restaurant meal for that

[–] Katana314 1 points 4 hours ago

When it costs that much, the choice makes sense.

But where I live, for whatever reason, Subway is less than half the price of full meals from nearby restaurants. That is in part because restaurants have gone up in price.

I’m merely a patron of the sandwich artist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i kinda feel bad for the artists. the quality of the materials they have to work with have declined precipitously since the 90s.

they truly suffer for their art

[–] danc4498 7 points 1 day ago

Artists thrive when they are constrained though. It builds character.

[–] Aolley 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can someone explain this, this post doesn't make sense to me

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

At Subway the customer picks the stuff that goes into the sandwich.

It's basically build your own food, except it's someone else's fingers in your food.

Worse ingredients, worse sandwiches. Subway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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.
