Subway is good. It's just expensive as hell
>>21640642I like a double Seafood Sensation from time to time as my guilty pleasure
>>21640643since when does subway sell imitation crab
>>21640650since the 80s anon. it was originally called "seafood & crab" up until they uncontinued it in 2018. when they brought it back in 2020 they started calling it "Seafood Sensation™" which is dumb but it's the same product
>>21640642>Subway is goodit's literally not.
>>21640656that doesn't sound super cheap compared to what fast food prices in the 80s seemed to be like
>>21640642I hate subway bread. It has the texture of biting into a wet paper napkin.
>>21640650I was in Canada a few years ago and subways there were doing a promotion for lobster rolls. It was like 20 bucks a sandwich though.
Ewwww hahahahaha yea right that shit is NASTY
>>21640642I got terrible food poisoning the last time I ate it so I'm staying away for good.
>>21640642Subway is dog shit for fat retarded American golem to get fatter and stupider.
>>21640642You can go to any local deli and get a better sandwich for less
>>21640642Use the app. A few months ago they had three footlongs for $22 or so.
>>21640642How much does it cost now? If it's not close to $5 it ain't worth it
Their bread tastes like alcohol to me at every location. The location near my house that I went to two times two years apart has a toaster that burns every sub that goes through it and presumably it still does.
Outside of coupons, I never go.There's usually a local sub shop that makes it better and cheaper.
>>21642169no american will ever care about you, no matter how much you want them to
>>21642541That’s nice, dear.
I just had a footlong hoagie for lunch. Bought it this morning for $1.90.Think I still have the receipt. I only went to the store cuz we needed milk this morning and I'm nightblind so couldn't go yesterday but it worked out in my favour since I got a cheap, extremely filling lunch out of it.
>>21640642>remember back 20 years ago when the whole point of fast food was that it was a cheap way to eat>now every single fast food place is as expensive as a normal restaurant I hate this shit so much
I was there once. Never again. Its not autism friendly.
>>21640642>Subway is good.Unimpressive bread.Gross sauces, too sweet with totally the wrong mouth-feel.>good
>>21640642>Subway is good. It's just expensive as hellHuh? It's just about lowest tier.Publix sub, or you go to a great italian restaurant, or whoever is known to do the good subs in town, and it's never subway.
You pay for the freshness and quality so of course it's gonna be pricy. You try to keep all that stuff at home and it'll go bad in no time. Subway is one of the only places you can go where are the ingredients are fresh and available. That's what you pay for. A fresh superior sandwich beyond one you can normally make yourself at home. This is simple shit people...
>>21640642>Subway is goodGo to Jersey Mike's and you will never utter this sentence again
>>21640642The only good thing Subway has ever had is the meatball marinara and I will die on that hill
>>21640642imagine paying money for that. jesus wept.
>>21643807>You pay for the freshness and quality>freshness and quality>freshness>quality
>>21643807>qualityI had Subway exactly twice. Both times were subpar. I'm convinced that's how it got its name. The meat is weird and the bread even weirder. I will not have a third go. That shit is for people without access to actual delis.
>>21643813Agreed, and honestly that went out the fucking window when they stopped being $5 footlongs/ rapidly transitioned to $8.49 and then $11 footlongs.Ngl I miss a gud meatball sub, it was even fine despite always getting kinda sweaty in the lil bag.(I know I can just go buy one but I flat out refuse to pay these ridiculous price gougey fucking rates, all fast food nowadays, it’s insane. I am but one man holding his ground through the simple practice of supply and demand, and I hope there are more of me out there)
>>21640642Do you guys think the ad-dude who was once heralded as a champion among sbubby employees for coming up with the $5 footlong ad campaign has been crucified by corporate because there’s now an entire two generations of people roaming the earth, fucking LIVID that it is not $5? I have specifically not eaten there in more than a decade because it’s no longer $5. I’ve heard other people say that when someone suggest sbubby.They had to have realized that wouldn’t be sustainable in the long run, but it was so catchy that it has fucked them big time.
>>21640642Honestly I don't understand why you can't buy footlong bread anywhere. At best you have baguettes which are rock hard and can't be properly stuffed
>>21640642Just buy a sandwich at a bakery
>>21640642>Subway is good
>>21643937this is a good fucking point honestly
quiznos better
>>21643958>you can't buy footlong bread anywhereThe fuck? They're sold at every supermarket in my area that isn't Aldi, Save•A•Lot or Walmart. Even Lidl has them so it's not a "no poor people stores" thing. You must live somewhere farther inland, one I've flown over a few times.
>>21640642It’s 3.99 for any 6inch plus tax. Put SIXINCHSUB in the promo box when you check out. I’ve seen so many clowns wait in line and fork over full price, just use the fucking app. Good macros as well, lots of variety. Subway is underrated is my hot take.
>>21643937>>21644063McDonalds had $1/any size coffee for ages, and then about 10 years ago they tried discontinuing it, raising prices, claiming that it was always a "temporary" deal. Immediately they lost revenue as all the wagies switched to $1 gas station coffee, forcing them to resinstate the deal within weeks (since that also meant wagies were buying breakfasts from gas stations). Does anyone else remember this?
>>21644142I vaguely remember this.I also remember when not even a decade ago I could get a mcgangbang for $2.14, and now it’s like $9 and change for just a mcdouble and a mcchicken.I wish people would’ve done the same thing with actual fucking food, but laziness reigns supreme.There wasn’t an equally easy alternative for them to revert to.What were they gonna do, cook?>inb4 just get the appSo I can pay $5 at BEST for something that should cost $2.14? Fuck nah.I cannot tell you how many times I’ve drunkenly walked into a mcdonalds and just fucking looked at the menu prices and left.That tweet that said “we had $1 mcchickens and 24 hour Walmarts and had no idea how good we had it” was right.Thanks for reading my grumpy almost 30 year old boomer rant.
>>21644142I don't eat at McDo but I've seen similar things so I believe it. In my case, it was two years ago when Kellogg's released Extra granola. Fucking delicious but $10.99 per box. Despite it being a huge motherfucker (28oz), granola is heavy for its size compared to more typical cereals so it used the same size box as a $2 box of cereal with 11oz of Rice Krispies in it. As such, nobody fucking bought it. It went into clearance pretty quickly after release and Kellogg's offered $5 off unlimited use digital coupons around the same time as well so I wound up buying 14 boxes for 50¢ each. That's $153.86 worth of high quality cereal for $7, less than 5% the original price. They then rereleased Extra with a new logo, new look and new, smaller plastic pouch for $6 for 14oz and act like the larger, cheaper box never existed. Despite it being /more expensive/ per ounce, people are buying it.
>>21644182Catching how good a deal that was, buying all that cereal for $0.50 per box, and mathing out how much you got at full price is 100% something I would do and then tell all my friends about, hah.Anon, at our core, we are brothers. I am proud of you for making the juug.>t. grew up poor and I absolutely live for shit like that. i swear, finessed food actually tastes better.
>>21640650They do in australia
>>21644299don’t forget your ground harness when you go outside m8 it would be a cryin’ shame if you stepped outside and fell right into the sun. crikey.
>>21644175>I cannot tell you how many times I’ve drunkenly walked into a mcdonalds and just fucking looked at the menu prices and left.Ngl sounds a little fun, if I lived next to a McDonald’s I’d probably drop in every time I’m drunk to look disgustedly at the menu and then leave
>>21640642It's not good and it's not expensive. But it does hit the spot the odd time
>>21644296 #Ha, yeah.I pull shit like this all the time. But before that, my wife used to complain that I "squabble over pennies" over stuff we don't even typically eat. But we do eat cereal. Or at least my kid and I both do. And even if it's something we don't typically consume, I find a way to use it, anyway, otherwise, it would still be a waste of money.As for telling my friends, they already know. See, my brain is wired differently where working this sort of thing out is just instinctual and quick but all of my friends say that it would take them too much time and effort to figure shit like that out.They go to the store and see prices creeping up. I go and see deals everywhere. Most recently, 4.4oz pots of Fage yoghurt? Free. There 4 for $4 and they literally have a clipstrip of $1 off 1 coupons in the same fucking aisle.Rice•A•Roni a few months ago? Also free. 50¢ coupons right in the same aisle and Safeway doubles manufacturers coupons. Couple that with a 10 for $10 sale and they're free, too.Loaf of bread? 29¢. Buy Nabisco multipacks and get $1 off bread. Weirdly, the 6 packs of cookies at checkout count as "multipacks" so bread and cookies for $1.09 total. I get produce, milk, bakery even store made subs for a pittance. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I bought a footlong hoagie for $1.90 yesterday morning.
>>21644759Nta but presumably you have all the store cards too? I've always resisted, I'm an old man who misses the days when you could just exchange cash for goods, but the store member deals are starting to wear me down, and even if they're tracking you, it's certainly better than an "app".
>>21644299$20 for a chicken and bacon melt is daylight robbery though. You can beat your ass imma take that 20 down to Woolies instead
>>21644895The only subway I've ever been to in australia is on rottnest island so its doubly expensive but I guess there is a cost to seeing cute white girls working at subway.
>>21644863 #I do indeed have the store cards. I technically "have" the apps, too, but I just access everything through the website. I've never actually downloaded and installed any app except Ibotta.I gave them all fake info so no, they're not tracking the real me, just some guy with a different name, different address and different phone number who happens to actually be me. But if you have ever used a credit card, they're tracking you already. I bought something from Walmart online, like, twelve years ago. Now, anytime I go to Wally World and use my credit card, I get an email asking me to rate my experience.
subway is garbageI rather get a simple sandwich from the bakery instead of that slop
>>21644985>But if you have ever used a credit card, they're tracking you already. You are correct. This has been technically possible for ages but they probably avoided exposing it blatantly before due to the optics. Now, people are used to being tracked and sacrificing privacy for convenience.>I bought something from Walmart online, like, twelve years ago. Now, anytime I go to Wally World and use my credit card, I get an email asking me to rate my experience.Home Depot did the same thing in the last couple years, automatically linking in-store CC purchases to your online account.As for phone apps, it almost doesn't matter, if you're carrying any cell phone except a burner you're identifiable anyway, just a matter of a few extra hops through the data brokers. But I remain ideologically opposed to installing "McDonalds software" on my portable computer.
>>21645031In 2010 I bought strawberries at Publix and came home to ads for Publix strawberries as I browsed the net. I couldnt figure out how until I realized it was the credit card.Never really encountered that again but in the early days of big data advertising people were getting weirded out and they quickly adjusted to being more subtle and showing you things that didn't tip their hand to let people know just how much big data knew about them.
>>21645031>I remain ideologically opposed to installing "McDonalds software" on my portable computerI agree. I've gotten "app only deals" just once from a fast food place. Burger King. One cent Whopper with any purchase. Guess what qualified as a purchase? 25¢ packets of ketchup. So I placed the order for the ketchup through the website (never downloaded the app) gave it my proton email, which is my throwaway, and waited for the confirmation that the order was placed and I got my code. I actually used a Burger King Gift Card at the time, too, because Safeway has a 10× multiplier on them IE buy a $20 gift card, get 200 rewards points. I still have that gift card in my wallet but as I said ITT already, I don't really do fast food. If I become aware of some other promotion, I'll use up the other $19.74 left on the card.
>>21640642Jersey Mikes is better. Shit, even Wawa
>>21643339how was it so cheap?>>21643411aww i'm sorry, fellow neurodiverse fren
>>21644069they're still in business?
>>21645359>how was it so cheap?$7 regular price, $5.40 personal price and 50% off sticker cuz it was leftover from the day before (nobody's making hoagies at 7am). I don't mind a day old sando. Anyway, if I used the self checkout, it would've been $2.70 (50% off my personal price) but because I used a manned register, the cashier took 50% off the regular price because the cashiers have to manually apply clearance discounts and I knew she wouldn't notice my Just4U discount. $5.40 - $3.50 = $1.90. Still, even if I'd gotten it fresh at lunch time, it still would've only cost $5.40 compared to whatever ridiculousness Subshit charges these days. $11, according to >>21643928.
