Did that at a Thai place, pretty sure the elderly lady brought me yellow curry with potatoes, other veggies and chicken. Maybe they'll have that same curry at Subway.

Instead of jumping on The Generals back, we should have offered him advice he could use. Preferably in the form of a flow chart. I'm working on one right now!

As somebody who has worked at a Subway before, The General is absolutely right. I'd just fix him up what I thought was a nice sandwich if he said "I don't care"  The General posted:I don't need a flow chart.

I wonder what the cause of Eau Du Subway really is? We have one built into a Circle K, and even when I go in just to buy a gallon of milk, I almost can't stand the smell. Weird. I'm with you and Tiggum in the 'Subway smells loving weird and bad club'. Doesn't matter what country, Australia, UK or New Zealand are ones where I've smelt it, they have an overpowering sour and nasty yeast smell. Puts me off ever wanting to eat there. I'm imagining The General on a dating site now. "What's with all the questions?! I DON'T CARE WHAT LIFE PARTNER I GET JUST GIVE ME SOMEONE NOW!"

I just don't eat at Subway because it's overpriced and lovely. That they ask you what you'd like on your bullshit sub is the best part.

I like Subway because it's the only place I could conceivably order a pizza sub with marinara sauce and then have them put that delicious southwest chipotle mayo and pickles on it. And other veggies, but those are the two that give people pause.

The few times I went to Subway I never came away feeling great about my sandwich. Dunno what it was. Pretty sure I tried a few different stores too but no dice. Quiznos on the other hand was much better for fast-food subs. Not perfect mind you but they were generally good. My dad and I used to go every couple of weeks to have lunch and chat until they started closing branches everywhere. Do they even still exist? I haven't heard anything about them in a long time.

Subway and Quiznos are both trash compared to Togo's. Apparently Togo's only exists in California though so...

Weren't they like really bad at franchise contracts, as well? Also, I think they over-saturated the market in some areas, until they crashed.

Yeah, it sounds like a combo of being an expensive franchise, over predicting the market demand, having franchise buy supplies from corporate for more than market value, subway's $5 footlong thing, and places like Pot Belly's and Jimmy Johns starting to show up for cheaper. I always thought Quiznos was horribly expensive compared to almost anywhere else.

I used to work at a Subway a million years ago, and IMO the weird smell is just because at most places the employees suck at making the bread. It's not exactly a complicated process, but there's still multiple steps and if you gently caress it up the bread gets musty and weird. Seeing as how the employees have to deal with weirdos that can't look at a salad bar that's right in front of them and choose for themselves what they want, they're probably not paid enough to also really give a poo poo about exact proofing and cooling times.

How hard can it be to pick a topping at random if the customer tells you they don't care what you put in their sandwich?

Because a customer who would do that sounds douchey enough to still complain if they don't like it probably.

I'm curious how the General would handle a Which Wich, where you fill out a sandwich checklist on the bag and hand it to the people behind the counter. Maybe just draw a dick on the bag?
