I can't stand Subway. Its terrible. I won't give a DIME to them.

You're telling me $5 for "6 tiny slices of turkey" is a good deal? FUCK that! I can eat a chiplote burrito the size of my head for the same price. And what is this "healthy" bullshit. Does anyone know what that truly is? MOST if not all fast food chains have healthy options, the problem is that they are all as disgusting as subways gross ass food.

EXPENSIVE for terrible quality bullshit food.

You're complaining that you only get six slices of turkey, while the food is also not healthy. Hypocritical post is hypocritical.

I think if you gave my post (in response to others) a more thorough reading your response would be different. At first "I" personally was complaining about the lack of meat in a footlong. (for the money obvi). Then in my response to a prior post about a lack of healthy fast food options in general, I noted that EVERY fast food place has SOMETHING healthy on the menu, but we choose not to consider the equally gross food options at the other establishments as we do before purchasing a disgusting "healthy" meal at Subway.

Garbage and extremely unhealthy as well.

The worst part is...people think it's healthy.

You have to consider your (quick) alternatives.

I mean yes, when you eat out, your settling for less-than-ideal options that if you prepare it yourself.

The problem is, Subway is marketed and has become known as "healthier" while most people accept that Wendy's, McDonald's, etc...are "unhealthy."

It goes all back to the fact that calories and fat (mostly) are completely irrelevant. Chemicals, toxic fats and inflammatory foods like gluten and such are what wrecks people.

A processed lunchmeat sub with a gluten-filled bread, topped with low-fat or chemically-altered condiments and "baked" chips are awful.

For instance, I'll grab Wendy's maybe once a week. Usually I'll get a couple plain baked potatoes and a Classic Triple without the fake cheese. Lose the bun on the burger and you have a relatively clean, protein/carbohydrate meal.

I'd eat that every day of the week before I'd eat a fake-ass sub from Subway...

McDonalds is marketed as tasting good. Advertising is tricky like that.

I know at McDonalds you an get two grilled 'chicken' patties without any bun for $3.....

I was at subway in SoCal last fall and they had Cilantro as one of their veggies....stuff was pretty good.

Still eat Subway once a week at work because they deliver. They do market themselves as healthy, and you can eat healthy there but they do have the bad crap as well.

False. Unless all you are eating are tomatos, onions, cumcumbers, and green peppers. Everything else there is trash.

All the subways in my town are owned by Indians (the real ones from India not the Christopher Columbus ones). But anyway they are rude and can't understand a word you say. Plus on a 6" turkey sub you get four slices of turkey.

Ours is locally owned which is cool and they offer delivery for business during the week for lunch AND offer almost every footlong for only 5 bucks on their deliveries which is cool so if we order 2 or more subs at lunch it is cheaper to pay teh two dollar delivery then to go up there and get it ourselves.

the subway by my school(mt. vernon ave) is owned by an indian and he doesnt even honor the 5 dollar footlongs half the time. the cheapest sub is 5.50 all the rest of the subs are priced 1.00-2.00 dollars more than any other subway. total ripoff. they shouldnt even be allowed to have the subway sign

I enjoy Quiznos and Charley's over Subway. But I believe Subway's success comes from its marketing, which is all about being "healthy", even if it's not any more healthy than the other chains. It's the largest chain in the WORLD for a reason, recently surpassing McDonald's. If I can get a meal for $5, and if people are telling me it's healthy, I'll eat there. It's simple. It's convenient because it's everywhere. And I'm comfortable/familiar with it. Not saying it's any better than the others, but it got in the game at the right time with the right strategy.

"The Subway experience depends entirely on which location you visit. They range from exeplery to disgusting. A good, clean subway provides a good meal in my book."

Correct.

It is a franchise...haven't been there in a while but it has always been a place that is decent, or flat-out awful depending on the person owning the joint.

It isn't particularly healthy, so I understand the grievance about that. But for the money it is a fair deal as long as you have the right franchisee. Perhaps their standards have been reduced in that regard.
