Hi

I wonder how many jailmates of Jared have made the "$5 footlong joke" to him? >_>

yeah, it's cray. I used to work there and people would always bitch that we didn't do 5 dollar footlongs anymore. I mean that was years ago so you'd have to be stupid to ask for one but 6 bucks for a 6" ham sandwich is still laughable. No reason to eat at Subway anymore. THere's always a better fastfood option nearby.

THere's always a better fastfood option nearby. for real, for $8.25 i can get a better quality sandwich at a deli or diner or w/e, and if I want to go the fast food route I can get a whole meal that includes a burger, fries, and a drink for the same cost as just the sandwich |

is the bread still being made with old gym mats?
Ave, true to Caesar.
|
|
Yea the bread is usually too dry even if I don't bake it and the ingredients taste funny after a few bites.
|
|
You guys do know that they still have deals on certain sandwiches, right?
|
|
Fast food in general has been overpriced as fuck for a while. There are some decent items, like mcdonalds's $1 mcchicken, but overall fast food costs too much to be worth it.
|
|
I haven't been to a Subway in a long time.
I usually go for Which Wich now, which is also pretty pricey but I feel is a more hearty meal.

how does a business model work 101:
1) Establish a highly efficient supply chain that minimizes your cost per product. 2) Sell your product at near-zero margin to destroy your competition, who cannot afford to operate at the same price. 3) Drive them into bankruptcy. 4) Expand and fill the void of market left by their destruction. 5) Jack up the prices and dare your customers to eat elsewhere. If I want a sub, I go to WaWa.
And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not.

Yeah fast food in general has been rising in price.
Fast Casual restaurants tend to be a better deal, because they only charge a little bit more, but they are significantly better in quality. You can also expect much better service too. Subway mostly sucks because of the emergence of Jimmy John's, Erbert and Gerbert's, Milio's, Which Wich, Potbelly's, and Jersey Mikes. All of these places offer a significantly higher quality sandwich for only a little bit more. Before they were around it was harder to see how crappy Subway was. Now it is extremely obvious to everyone. Subway by far has the lowest quality of ingredients across the board from the bread to the veggies and everything inbetween.

Did you guys know that their bread also has a chemical found in horse urine? It's totally true because someone so ignorant of science they think that air is normally 100% Oxygen but those evil airline companies pump nitrogen in there to save money told me so.

I remember last year, I went into a Subway and everything was $5's. I bought their sweet onion chicken teriyaki and it was decent for the price. I mean I never went back, but it was basically planned B when my favorite Banh Mi place was closed for the day.

Deli meat and cheeses are expensive and go bad fast. Unless you are in the mood for sandwiches all week they aren't worth the cost of always have fresh ingredients around to make yourself a sandwich a few times a week.

had a $10 giftcard. a footlong steak and cheese with a cookie cost more than what i had on the giftcard. wtf.

$1 for a baguette
$7 for a lb of ribeye on special at Krogers. $ 0.77 for an onion $0.80 for a bell better Top tier french dip, assuming you got some beef stock on hand. Less than $10 and the primary expense is in quality beef. If you're willing to cut corners and buy bulk, obviously you could bring the price down a shit ton. But that's a sandwich about the same price, without having to wholesale the cost down and invest in multiple sandwiches.

However, in this case, any idiot could make a sandwich in 5 minutes or less. The only "cooking" they're doing is toasting the bread if you want it toasted. |

I was just pointing out that deals were still available. If you're so focused on them, it's surprising that they're overlooked or not noticed, is all. Nowhere did I even become close to defending their other menu options, because, well, since I know what the available deals are, it's logical to think that I typically only use the deals when I eat there.

not all of us have a toaster that's big enough to toast baguette bread.

$1 for a baguette This doesn't at all factor the biggest costs, time and effort in doing it yourself. It's the same reason why people have no problem being charged 15-20 buckaroos for shrimp pasta alfredo when Alfredo sauce is super easy to make.

I just got a $5 footlong today and it's 2 meals. Stop acting like there's not cheaper options at Subway.
If you can make a better sandwich for that price then just do it. I don't get the point of this topic. 8 bucjs for a sub isn't even much.

I distinctly remember having this discussion during the ANY ANY ANY phase of their $5 footlong promotion: "Can I get a footlong Philly cheesesteak?" "Sure but just so you know, that's not one of the $5 ones." "..." "Yeah, I know." "Ok, well can I get [I don't remember what] then?" |

You guys are lucky to ever have had the $5 footlong. In Hawaii it started out as a $6 footlong, and now even the cheapo cold cut combo is around $7.50-$9 depending on location/owner.

Isn't CoL way higher in HI than in most everywhere else? Makes sense that the prices would be higher, with the land the store is built on costing so much more and no doubt more expensive shipping. |

Of course. So I see stuff like the Burger King deal where you can get 2 of those long chicken sandwiches for $5, then notice it says $7 for Alaska and Hawaii :<

The $5 foot long was supposed to be like...a month long promotion, but it was so popular that they kept it going
At least, that's what they say :V

$5 foot long promo also started 10 years ago. You can't expect them to keep that price forever. Jack In the Box tacos are now $1.20 . Little Ceasar's "Hot N Ready" are $6.

Not to mention Jack in the Box doesn't give you free tacos when you fill out their survey on the receipt anymore. I think it's buy one get one free for a Jumbo Jack or Supreme Croissant or something :<
