Now it's like $8 for a piece of bread and some tomatoes

Mike lives here too....Jersey Mikes in willoughby makes great subs!.....and Cosmic Dave in painesville.....same deal.....screw them chains when you have Mike and Dave around

Ditto on Mike in Tejas...

And meat did not use to be an issue at Subway... always got their Oven Roasted Chicken. But last time I had one, the chicken thickness had shrunk by half.

I suppose when you come right down to it- that's what SubWay is pitching. "Healthy" subs. But compared to real sub shops, the bread is meh- and as has been pointed out- they're real heavy on lettuce & veggies, and real short on costly ingredients like meat and cheese. Though turkey and chicken aren't exactly in the high end steak price range. Definitely a business model designed to maximize profit. Only fast food chain that I've ever seen put out a tip jar. They consider themselves a restaurant, and are paying employees 1\2 minimum wage?

Penn Station is peerless in terms of delicious sandwiches that are terrible for you.

Dibellas might be my favorite multi location quick sandwich stop. Potbelly is also really good.

Penn station and Mr hero are good if you're looking to step up your cholesterol game.

The first Antonios pizza was in Parma on Snow Rd and opened in the 1960's, about 1/4 mile from my parents house. So I'm familiar. However, I prefer Angies in North Royalton.

And the steak bagel/McMuffn used to be good years ago, now the steak is 90 percent gristle.

Quiznos is great but there aren't many of them.

But I am a big fan of the steak McMuffin at mickys.

Speaking of health food has anyone had Antonio's pizza? They just opened one near me and they are fucking great. Closest I've had to Trecaso's.

Not Browns, but Jared Fogel and RGIII haven't had such a good run either.....

That's Subway, not Mr. Hero. Wonder how much business Jared cost Doctors Associates- who own the Franchise. Surprising they're the second largest- after McDonald's. They got big because if you're a franchisee- you have to kick in almost 5% of your gross sales to pay for all those ads. Power of advertising, just because you show up on TV a lot doesn't necessarily make your product good- you listening Pizza Hut?

You must be sickly. There's nothing wrong with the chow at either of those places.

Subway is WAY overpriced for the quality\quantity you're getting- (three measly slices of ham & cheese on a ham sub- if you want more it's going to be extra) I'll take Mickey D's on price\quality- or any of the local sub shops. Penn Station & the Submarine House are SW Ohio. Their $5 subs blow Subway away. I noticed DiBella's has locations in Cleveland- I'll take those over Bread&VeggieWay too

This is an awesome thread!!!!!!...............I would do the same.......

@bbedward said:

Regardless the story doesn't add up.

I never been to a subway that forced me to eat something I didn't want.

Right...plus, I never been to a Subway that doesnt have a bunch of minimum wage kids working there.....so how can someone NOT control that situation......????

At every single Subway Ive ever been to, you start at one end(opposite the register) and move down the counter, while telling them exactly what you want on the sammich and they make it for you....and then, at the very end, is the cash register, where they ask if you want a drink or a cookie.....and then you pay them.....every time.....

--Flyingfooldoug and Lettucegate ... How does that happen?

They're all like a block away from each other anyway

@flyingfooldoug said:

Everyone pays first there...ala Soup Nazi. Fast food credit? i just use cash. Im kinda old school that way

If the ones down there behave in that manner I'd never go back.

PS I think you missed the credit joke.

@westside-steve said:

You stood there and watched?

Pal I can understand being pissed off if you get home from the drive thru and find out your order is fucked up. But if you're standing there watching them and don't speak up....

And I've never paid for Subway up front. How shitty is your credit?

This is why mass shootings occur.

The bitch is... I did speak up. I watched him put it on and said to stop. The slack jawed moron just stood there and said he had too. I wanted my money back and was flat out refused cause the manager wasn't present. That was in 4 Oaks N C, 2011. No money for sub way since. Substandard.. I just throw a porterhouse on the grill for way less anyway.

I find this hard to believe.

Shit, it was a Subway. I watched them do it and told them not to put lettuce on it. They did anyway. It was already paid for and they refused to make it right. The manager wasn't there. Fuck subway and their 11 inch foot longs and their horrible service. They deserve jared
