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

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

Subway.... Selling sandwiches that don't contain actual bread,. Does not contain actual cheese. And does not contain actual meat. But DOES contain more odd chemicals than DOW Chemacals makes

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

With Subway and it's franchise system, it makes me wonder if they aren't trying to intentionally tank 90% of the stores and rejig the whole operation, or potentially get rid of the franchises altogether. I have nothing to base this on, no education, no recent reading, nothing. I haven't stepped foot in a subway since the oughts, and I had a chicken bacon ranch and the chicken was chewy to the point it brought back the memory of my brother telling me to get pata tacos in Mexico City.

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

I went to a subway exactly once. Their bread felt like a sad sponge. I never set foot in one since.

Exclusive transcriptions from the meeting room:

CEO: Why are those peasant stop buying? It can't be the price. It's just $9 raised, it's not even a whole $10, which is by the way, should be a coin by now.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
