I went to a subway exactly once. Their bread felt like a sad sponge. I never set foot in one since.

They changed out their bread too, didn't they? Not in a good way like you'd expect because of the price change, but like, dough mixed with cardboard.

Five. Five dollar foot longs. Any, any, any!
Fourteen. Fourteen dollar foot longs. Any, any, any!
Nobody, nobody is buying them, nobody!
They thought they could charge the same money as real sandwich places. Lol.
I have no clue how they don't get it. The selling point of fast food was always the speed, convenience and a price. They've been degrading all 3 of those selling points and now it's just not fucking worth it anymore.
But like it's nothing new, I don't belive I'm the only one, that for the last few years, every price hike just started picking less and less form the menu. And I'm not poor, far from it, I can definitely afford the price hikes, it's just, once it's 8x times more expensive than home cooking, the convenience no longer outweighs the shit ass quality. I hate paying as if I was at a fancy place and getting pure shit, might as well just go to a fancy place for fucks sake!

Exclusive transcriptions from the meeting room:
CEO: Why are those peasant stop buying? It can't be the price. It's just $9 raised, it's not even a whole $10, which is by the way, should be a coin by now.
My issue is whether or not that nine extra went to employee pay.
If they didn't bump their workers' pay, fuck their price increase.

Exactly how I feel for with Subway specifically. Half their coupons don't even work for any of the chains we try in our city lol.
Considering the coupons are 3 footings for $18 and they're practically charging that for a single sandwich now, I can see why.
How their overhead is that unprofitable considering their food is mostly cold and ready to eat I'll never know.
Subway.... Selling sandwiches that don't contain actual bread,. Does not contain actual cheese. And does not contain actual meat. But DOES contain more odd chemicals than DOW Chemacals makes

Apparently it was creating massive problems for their franchisees in becoming profitable. Ever go into a subway and have the owner practically force you to buy a cookie? They’re trying to make up for the cheap ass sandwich.
There's a great last week tonight segment on subway.
