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.
you’re lucky; the ones near me aren’t great. the ingredients are often meh or gross. the staff rarely wears hair control, they’re not helpful, and obviously undercompensated for the bullshit they have to endure. pass.
I have negative feelings about subway because when Quiznos first started, their sandwiches were amazing but subway responded with the $5 footlong deal, after which Quiznos quality went down when they cut costs to compete.
And today Quiznos sucks if they even have a place open in the area and subway is still the same but certainly not offering footlongs for $5 anymore (and I question whether they were selling them at a loss even back in the 00s when they did it).
Plus subway had Jared, who was annoying even before his extra curricular activities came out.
At least Firehouse Subs are filling the niche Quiznos briefly filled now, which isn’t even subway’s niche, even if they both make submarine sandwiches.
Well, this was my perspective from Germany. We don’t have and never had a real competing chain. We have McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC as big fast food chains. So this is what they compete against here
Ah that sucks, those are mostly ones I don’t even consider anymore. KFC can be ok but their ingredient quality (for anything other than chicken) is all over the place to the point where I’ve stopped taking the gamble and just make chicken burgers and bowls at home if that’s what I’m craving. I’ll do the other three if there aren’t any other options but I’ll go a bit out of my way for other options.
But if they were my only options, I’d probably eat out less and would prefer subway or BK.
Generally pretty good, at least for Kebab, burgers, fries, sausage and grilled chicken. Sandwiches are a total niche though. Basically only smaller ones premade at bakeries and shops (premade still referring to made in store, but not upon request).
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.
I also actually do like Subway.

How’s the non-chain scene in Germany?
