Wow... how times have changed. I recall a time where everyone on the GAF just loved Subway.
I must admit, I haven't eaten there in ages. I just can't tolerate explaining the definition of light lettuce ten times each visit, and to the same exact guy.

Quizno's is out-the-fucking-ass expensive but its much better than Subway.
Subway sucks because they used to have this bread with Jalapenos on it. Then they got rid of it. Monterrey Cheddar is my second choice but they never have it available. Its either white, wheat, or some shitty honey bread (honey sucks, get it away from my sandwich). Then its like a race to see how fast they can make it. I like the Club myself but Ham sucks so I ask without it. Yet its frequent that they ignore what I said because its like they have a quota of how quick they can make the sandwich. I said it clearly to them.
Next is their 'toaster' which makes everything soggy. Wet, floppy bread with a weird smell now on my food. Like its burnt but isn't. They always coat my sandwich full of mustard but I like it that way so complaints there. Although when I ask for a lot of black olives, its like they have a limit of 10 black olives and they'll be damned if they go any higher.
The hardest part for the employees is figuring the cost of a Club minus the ham. With no extra meat, sometimes I get charged $8-9 for the sandwich alone (I think the regular price of a three meat club is $6.49) I always complain but they try to pin it off as a regular Turkey plus extra meat. They give it to me reluctantly because two meats costs more than a three meat sandwich.
Yeah, I haven't went there in a while and I don't regret it.

I went into Subway the other night because they have their breaded chicken back, why they got rid of it in the first place I will never know. Anyway, the new promotion is the Chicken parm sandwich, but I didnt want that. So I walk in and I tell the guy I want a ft long breaded chicken cutlet sandwich, and he was like "oh the new Chicken parm sandwich" I was like NO. just a regular chicken sandwich, and he looked at me for like 10secs with this glassy look in his eyes, Like I just gave him a brain annuerism
I also hate when I say little lettuce and I get about a pound of lettuce on there. Do I look like a friggin rabbit.

Me (a tourist) asked a staffer at Subway where FAO Schwartz was, and the guy hadn't a notion what I was talking about (it turned out we were quite close, just off 5th, which made it even stranger). A kindly lady pointed us in the right direction after passing a weird look to the guy behind the counter. That's my Subway experience

oh man, i wish there were publix in new york. i love their subs.

We have something like that at Quizno's and it's way better. It's called the Chicken Milano...it's got Romsemarry Parmigian bread, sun-dried tomato pesto, mayo, chicken dipped in a milano aju, motzarella, and parmigan cheese, with a spring mix for lettuce. Mmmm...Toasty.
All you guys complaining about Quizno's workers being retards makes me sad. There are instructions for how to build the sammitches right behind the counter. The baser and finisher can look at them any time. Too bad you got served by retards.
It's not that hard to make a Quizno's sub, but I worked with an idiot too before I quit, so I know how it can be. Stupid guy could never make a sammitch the right way.Some lady ordered a large Veggie with no cheese once. He's finishing, he sees onions, tomatoes, and olives on bread go by. So he pulls out the pre-weights and makes it a Classic Italian. I'm on the other end, wrapping the sammitches, and I'm like, "WTF is this?" So they make it again, and this time the fucking dope puts cheese all on it. So he had to make it AGAIN, while being watched by three other people to make sure he got it right. And he's not new there, either, he'd been around longer then me. He's just...stupid.
Anyways! Went off on a tangent there! Quizno's >>>>>> Subway, especially when you get someone who's not an nincompoop to make your meal (like myself).
Best Quizno's meal for me: Regular tuna on white bread with just cheddar cheese, and a cup of broccoli cheese soup to dip it in. MMMM ORGASM! Plus with an employee discount it's all for like $4.
My last subway experience was years ago, when i ordered the chicken breast sub and the dingleberry behind the counter placed it on the scale and started picking off tiny chunks so it would make weight. I mean the guy picked off less than a quarter inch square pieces off of each chicken patty and puts the chunks back in the chicken bin. I could understand if it was way over the subway-approved-sandwich-weight, but give me a break. Just local sub shops for me now....

Well, I don't know about the rest of their subs, but I DO know that the only tuna melts I've had that are better than Quizno's are made by my own hands.
I will say this, though. The Black Angue Steak at Quizno's is fucking disgusting. I made one for myself, I was like, "It's steak and cheese, it can't be bad" and man, I could not even finish half of it. YUCK.

Here in Chicago is a chain called Mr. Submarine. You can get a 12 inch itialian sub with chips for less than $5 and it is fucking fantastic tasting!

a lot of you guys sound picky as fuck. Its just a $5 fast food sandwich, not a gourmet meal. No wonder they can't make a sandwich "right" when they probably have 100 people coming in bitching to them about 100 different ways to make a turkey sandwich.

I don't know if it's changed or not but I used to put on specific veggies if requested on top of the regular stuff for sandwiches at Quizno's at the store I used to work at. Apparently, I was popular with customers and had them coming back and asking about me if I wasn't on duty the at usual times.
Quizno's does have some pretty good sandwiches but it's way too expensive most of the time. Hell, the only time I ate there was when I was on duty. My favorite sandwiches there were the Mesquite Chicken with Olives and Mushrooms or the Veggie with Honey French sauce instead of Vinegarette.

I'd stopped eating at Subway because I thought there were better alternatives and 'cause I never really needed to.
Then, a while back, I was in a rush and needed food before work. Stopped at Subway because it was close and because I didn't want McDonald's or other crap food.
So I get the cheesesteak, which I know is an "expensive" sub, and then I get a combo. Maybe with a bottle of pop instead of a fountain drink.
I was floored when the total was over $11CDN.
A few nights later I eat at this great local barbecue place and have a sandwich with a big chunk of beef brisket on it that puts the sub to shame. Total price pre-tip for both me and my wife is maybe two bucks more than it would have been for my Subway mealx2.
(EDIT: And we have a great Lebanese place near our house which will do huge shawarmas for about three bucks less)
Subway is too damn expensive. Quiznos is pricey too, but I prefer it to Subway by far. If only this BBQ place was on every corner like Subway.

You're a filthy liar. Togo's worse than Subway. I was in Emeryville and starving to near death, and I was like, "Togo's! Maybe they'll have a good tuna sub since there's no Quiznos around!"Syckx said:
NOPE.
Worst. Tuna. Sub. Ever.

Sandwich "artists" aren't exactly the most overworked restaurant monkeys out there, seeing as they take like five minutes to make a sandwich and are instructed on what to put in it every step of the way. (and sometimes they use two or three people to make one sandwich to speed things up)

The only Togo's around me are in filthy disgusting Dunkin Donuts shops. I walked in one to try a sub once and turned around... I would rather eat at the subway that it located in my local marathon gas station. At least they have dedicated personel just for the food.

what im saying is, peolple get mad because they dont' apply mayo the exact right way, or the exact amount of lettuce. You have to figure almost everybody that comes in to order a sandwich has their own definition of the "right" way to apply mayo and lettuce, so how are they supposed to know?

That's almost the case. Local anything is better than the national take, but that goes without saying.
And yeah, whoever says the food at Penn Station is good is absolutely nuts. Yeah, its good enough it you're drunk 2 in the morning on a Friday waiting for the next train to Babylon...
