Rick posted:Anyway there appears to be someone living in there now, the Carls next door is open until 1:00 and there is a guy in there with the main store lights off that you can see moving around by the light of the cookie warmer and you can tell he still has his uniform on. This reminds me of when I worked graveyard shift at a gas station, and the weird Donut Guys that would deliver the Dunkin Donuts at 3 or 4 am, hot off the presses. They showed up in an unmarked windowless white cargo van, and carried the donuts inside in big steel boxes that could have fit a medium sized dog. Neither of them was much of a talker. Donut guy 1 was kind of schlubby but smelled like he never ever wiped his rear end. Like he wasn't fat enough that he couldn't, he just didn't ever wipe his rear end. Donut guy 2 was in his 20s in good shape, and he was all business. Jogging into the store with the two cages of donuts, releasing them into the wild, then bolting. Sometimes he was stoned to the bone with eyes as red as the devil's dick, but he never changed his routine. Neither of them were ever happy, and just had this dour gloomy facade that hung over them. They never said hi back to me so eventually I gave up. Silent donut hitmen delivering their payloads in unmarked vans and disappearing back into the night from whence they came. Life must be hell at the Dunkin Dunts factory. All the truck drivers that delivered stuff in the middle of the night were like, approachable human beings and we would bullshit about whatever until they had to leave. The Donut Guys were loving morose mutes. WITCHCRAFT fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Mar 31, 2021 |

Rick posted:There was a 24 hour Subway that switched to closing at 9:00 during the pandemic. I would never go in there because often the worker was hanging out front with his friends and I didn't want to interrupt them. Usually u get scheduled to be a tthe store like an hour after close so you can clean up and do all the dishes that the earlier shifts left for you because theyre all bastards

I didn't realize Subway was reduced to just heating up bagged subs like you can do at any gas station. With the added benefit that it burns employees https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/operations/subway-franchisees-question-new-melt-sandwiches I always thought Subways would just continue spreading like a disease over the landscape, but over the last year a majority of them in my area have shut down 770e4133fe864efdb5a3d5860573ed6c

i ordered subway for the first time in months. not a single promo code anywhere, including promo codes on their own site and app work at any subway within an hour eventually i was bored enough and found one that was a free cookie with purchase for pickup. i get there and they didn't make my order and instead got yelled at for using a coupon, left without food after walking half an hour. the free cookie coupon no longer worked after that. what the gently caress?

yeah subway corporate has been doing a thing of increasing prices on the required things (so they make more money) and increasing franchise fees (so they make more money) and running aggressive sales because people don't want the sandwiches anymore (so the franchisees lose money) don't feel bad for the franchisees though because they're always Small Business Owner as gently caress

being in a (any) major west coast city literally no fast food restaurant has had a value menu, if they do the only thing it contains is either one cookie or a soda for $1-2

Subway also seriously screwed themselves over with the $5 footlong campaign because it was so successful that it anchored $5 as the price in people's heads and any attempt to return to normal pricing since then has resulted in people thinking it's overpriced lmao

man when you get a meatball sub to go and it sits for just long enough that everything on it congeals into this perfect playdoughesque mass of bread and sauce and meatballs and cheese that just compresses and chews like food you always imagined came out of food replicators in the future it's just the absolute perfect meal especially when you order it with extra pickles for CRUNCH

McDonalds seems to pretty frequently do a 2 for $5 for some burgers and nuggets. If you're trying to eat out and not spend more then $5 you're gonna have to find a local spot, probably tacos.
