no

But taking it to go was out of the question?

no

 

[Don Quixote]

You're just being an assssshat at that point.

Then what's the point of being open till 8? but like SHH said, it's not the owner, it's the staff.

Some places will say they are open until 8, but will stop seating at an earlier time. More restaurants should do this.

It's more of a common courtesy to the staff to not sit down so close to closing when they will have to be working late to serve you.

Many of us have jobs where the only way we work overtime is if we didnt manage our own time well or our boss asked us to. Imagine if whether you had to work OT was up to the general public. Ugh. No thanks.

It does not seem too different to me from last call at bars, which is usually 15-30 minutes before closing time. You don’t have to go home, but they don’t want you to stay there.

I still can't fathom a scenario where I walk into a fast food restaurant and desire to eat inside there. Depressing. Especially if they want to close. You're just being an assssshat at that point. Nobody is getting tipped on your existence inside. You're just being a jerk.

Go eat in your car or go home.

I usually only do on road trips. Sometimes I’ll just eat in the car but if we need a bathroom break we’ll go inside and eat

I’ll also eat inside at a jersey mikes during lunch

I've eaten work lunch at my desk for 30 years. I'm not sure I know what I'd do with a lunch break if I had one.

I’ve gone out for lunch frequently in my professional career . I know it’s not frugal but I just like the mental break of getting out of the office

Retailers that don’t set their default search filter results to “available and in stock at that location” or it is really hard to apply the correct filters. If your name is not Amazon, I want to know if you have the item in stock at the location and what aisle it is on. What I want to know is can I come see it with my own eyes to verify the product is exactly what I want before buying.

Wal Mart incorporating sponsored ads into their search results takes it to the next level of frustration.

Love Subway. Steak sandwich add bacon. On Italian herbs and cheese.

I can walk into any fast food place at 7:30. Eat my sandwich/burrito/whatever and gtfo by 8pm. If they don't want people coming in at 7:30, they should post that.

7:50 you have a point. 7:30? What the hell takes you so long?

I go to a Subway once a week or so, but a matter of convenience. Downstairs from my office, and usually a matter of only having time to either get Subway or some even crappier prepackaged sandwich from the grab and go inside my office (which also charges more than Subway). If they replaced the Subway with something better, I would not miss it.

we had a Subway (sandwich and train) on our block.

walking by that frequently made me realize the baking/warming bread smelled too much like vomit. noticed the same at other Subways I'd walk by (sandwiches and train). nothing like the smell of vomit to induce a desire to eat those sandwiches.

and another thing- why don't they cut the bread all the way?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

and another thing- why don't they cut the bread all the way?

long time problem with all kinds of food places. It really shouldn't be that hard to cut a sandwich or pizza all the way through. They have knives sharp enough to do it.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

and another thing- why don't they cut the bread all the way?

Because a sub roll should have a hinge to keep everything in

Subway exists precisely because deli's don't exist everywhere.

If you're going to be driving a " high performance vehicle" and you can't keep it the speed limit on a freeway go sell it

Or how about Mr Speedy with his radar detector going BELOW the speed limit in the fast lane?

Maybe I'm spoiled with where I live then, because for every subway around me, I can name multiple sandwich options within a close range. It doesn't take much to make a sandwich that beats subway.

 

[Payne]

I'll just say, Subway is terrible. Any sandwich shop, both chain and local, are better than the garbage they serve there.

Subway is a last resort. It is just blah and nothing of consequence. Probably the worst of all fast food sandwich places. Give me Jersey Mikes, Firehouse, or any local deli over Subway all day every day. Jimmy Johns and Subway are pretty close but I would take Jimmy Johns over Subway.

Jimmie Johns is lightyears better than Subway.

Last time I was going to eat at a Subway, I was waiting at the counter for a few minutes before someone came out to help, and when my "sandwich artist" finally did come out, they came out of the back with their finger firmly lodged in their nostril digging for treasure. Never again.

It's better.........but still light years behind Jersey Mikes or Firehouse.

That's the only way Subway sandwiches have any flavor.

No. Maybe NYC delis are behind the times, but they cut the bread lengthwise all the way.. not into a pita half slice.

Seems like a directive from Subway. The sandwiches I've had there... Not a lot, but all over the country- seems like that's a thing they do intentionally. Cut it part way, fold it over and shove stuff in there so one long side is open and the other is closed.

Not that it takes much but I’m confused

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I prefer a hinged sub otherwise too much risk of stuff sliding around

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Although I need fi pay attention at jersey mikes do they cut all the way through?

[Mookie]

Subway's problem was jacking up their prices to a price point where they could be compared to higher quality offerings. I'll eat a meh footlong for $5, but for $11, I'm going elsewhere.

 

[El Floppo]

Lol... It's harder to write clearly than I expected.

Take a long roll/baguette and cut it length-wise.

STOP

don't cut it all the way through. One length is cut open and other hasn't. "Hinge" open the roll on the closed "hinge" to expose the inside of the bread.

Put a bunch of bottom of the barrel deli meats in there, close the roll to complete. One long " hinge" side is heavy on the bread, and the other side heavy on deli meats.

Avoid the weird but distinct vomit smell from the place. Consume sandwich?

Got it

I don’t go there anymore really but when we had 2 kids in little league we did a couple times a week in ball season. I feel like we used to get 3 footlongs for $12.99 or something like that.
It was near the ball field, fast and cheap

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I long ago came to the conclusion that fighting over food-related issues is what the FFA does best

 

[Gally]

A good footlong at Jersey Mikes can cost $15.00 to $17.00. I start feeling guilty when I realize I could paid the same price for a large pizza and fed everybody.

Where can you get a large pizza for $17? Those are getting up to $30-$40 for good pizza places (I do not count Little Ceasars as pizza).

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Listen, I like Jersey Mikes too but their prices are even crazier than Subways. I get some people don't mind paying extra if the food is better and the food is better. I was able to get a $6.00 footlong steak sandwich at Subway last week with a coupon.

[Gally]

I'm in FL. $17.00 still gets you a nice pie here. The most expensive pizza here gets to around $25.00 to $30.00. Here's a place we like to go to on the beach:

https://cocoabeach-brunos-pizzeria.menufy.com/

The build your own starts at $18.50 but I couldn't find what each topping adds to the price. My go to would be pepperoni, pineapple, and jalepeno. What would that run? I am guessing about $30 when all is said and done.

It's more of a comparative thing. For fast foods subs it is by far the best. The quality is always the same at any franchise you go to and is all fresh with quality meats/cheeses. Will an actual deli be better? Most likely but for a mass produced type franchise it is by far the best of the ff sandwich places. My favorite is the Giant 99 on Rosemary. Eat half one day and have the other half the next. Solid two meals.

And that giant is bigger and thicker overall than a subway footlong, thus the higher price.
