There's a great last week tonight segment on subway.

Covers a lot of the insane shit they do / have done.

They almost doubled the price of their stuff. No fucking way I am paying that. I'll pack my own sandwiches...

Five. Five dollar foot longs. Any, any, any!

I have no clue how they don't get it. The selling point of fast food was always the speed, convenience and a price. They've been degrading all 3 of those selling points and now it's just not fucking worth it anymore.

But like it's nothing new, I don't belive I'm the only one, that for the last few years, every price hike just started picking less and less form the menu. And I'm not poor, far from it, I can definitely afford the price hikes, it's just, once it's 8x times more expensive than home cooking, the convenience no longer outweighs the shit ass quality. I hate paying as if I was at a fancy place and getting pure shit, might as well just go to a fancy place for fucks sake!

Apparently it was creating massive problems for their franchisees in becoming profitable. Ever go into a subway and have the owner practically force you to buy a cookie? They’re trying to make up for the cheap ass sandwich.

That and the ingredients are awful! Why would anyone go to subway when you could go to Jersey Mike's or the numerous other sandwich shops.

My issue is whether or not that nine extra went to employee pay.

If they didn't bump their workers' pay, fuck their price increase.

Exactly how I feel for with Subway specifically. Half their coupons don't even work for any of the chains we try in our city lol.

Considering the coupons are 3 footings for $18 and they're practically charging that for a single sandwich now, I can see why.

How their overhead is that unprofitable considering their food is mostly cold and ready to eat I'll never know.

This is probably a good thing. I packed on a ton of weight when I was in college because fast food was really cheap. Things like dollar menu sandwiches, 5 for $5 at Arbys, $0.29 hamburgers on Sundays at McD, etc. I remember strategically buying bags full of fast food and putting them in the freezer because I couldn't make food that cheap. Reheated from the freezer tasted HORRIBLE, but it was cheap and I was broke. At these prices I would have made better decisions for my health.

I quit them about 10 years ago when I asked for spinach on my sandwich and they gave me 3 small leaves of spinach for an upcharge. That and their instantly stale tasting bread made me done with the particular store and all Subway stores. Was a shame, because they were convenient to where I worked.
