Subway loyalist, Subway is skimpy and cheap to the point of ridiculous. One time a while back, my local Subway was running a special for three footlong subs for $10. The guy had all three breads cut open and laying out at once. He squirted a tiny bit pf mustard and mayo on all three. I asked him to please put a little more mayonaise on it. He replied, “Oh no, we can’t put any “extras” on the special sandwiches.” I said to him, “You’re kidding, right?” Nope serious as all hell. I explained to him that it was not as if I was asking for extra meat or cheese or anything like that, just a little extra mayo to bring it up to a normal level, as opposed to typical Subway skimpy. He wouldn’t budge, and we had a stare-off. One and one half blinks later I simply said, “OK then, I don’t want the sandwiches,” and walked out of the store, leaving three partially assembled footlong subs in front of him.

There is Subway inside walmart by elcamino and watt ave in sacramento, they have a fresh baked bread daily, fresh vegetables and yes they have spinach and also they have a good customer service skills…winner!!!
Just a comment to Lloyd, the $5 ANY footlong that was great deal compare to the rest of the subs out there. Also you were complaining about your subs that was tiny, you can always ask for more if u like. Subway has no limit when it comes to vegetables, so dont hesitate. You just have to let the Sandwich Artist know the way you want it because they are just following the formula. Also, if you like to have lotta meat in your sandwich,you can always Double the meat on your sub. Also they have more options like extra cheese, if you like a cheesy sandwich, Add bacon or even Add Avocado to make it more healthier!!! You guys should check that store out, you will be full, and leave happily!!! HAVE A GOOD SUBWAY DAY…

I LOVE Subway sandwiches. I’d easy eat there 3x per week or more if I could. My $5.00 sandwich is more than I can eat. I only eat 1/2. It’s healthy and for $2.50 for a lunch… cheap! I just wish that each Subway store had spinach as an option.

Buying a franchise can be a good idea, but beware. Make sure you read the fine print before you sign. I have see many fail in recent times and the corporate office has not done much to assist.

I am considering opening a Jimmy Johns franchise. I have started businesses in the past but never a franchise. I’m not sure if it will be right for me. Any advice?

Subway’s 5 dollar footlong should be called “The Starvation Sub” because they put so little on it. It is a ripoff. The sandwich isn’t even worth a buck. The last one I ate all I could taste was their bland bread. Yuck!!!

I would never buy a Subway sub again.

And every time I leave a Subway I smell like a walking yeast infection due the stench of their bread being permeated in my clothing.

I voted other. A local Hugo’s and Port of Subs put out very high quality grinders.

Subway is total junk. They were junk 30 years ago and they haven’t changed. I haven’t even eaten at any of the others. The problem is they want to make their subs as cheap as they can. But that means a roll, some salad and very little meat.
Five dollars for a foot long? They are only worth $3. I’d rather pay 48 for a sub with something on it.

@ Marilou – how much net profit do you get from your six Subway stores?

@ Mona – Please do tell further! Sounds like you have owned a Subway?
