Subway must be stoked. They don’t have to raise pay, and Panera is getting all the heat.
Anyone that voluntarily eats at Subway was probably a lost cause to begin with.
Their build your own sub thing is pretty neat (if insanely expensive) Honestly between them, Jimmy Johns, and Jersey Mikes, I think they win.
If those are the choices, it doesn’t matter who “wins”, we all lose.
You know there are independently owned delis right?
You know not all of us are single hipsters who work from home in IT? Some of us just need a sandwich of known quality for a reasonable price quickly.
Cheaper to just make a PB&J then. A lot cheaper. Fast food is unreasonably priced now anyway.
Besides, I was more addressing the weird loyalty people have to chains, not them using it. People arguing over which chain sub shop is the best when they're all about the same is weird.
I am so lucky to live in a redneck shithole that is also weirdly ethnically diverse since it means I can get damn near any food I want. Real shame I will just get a smashed potato bowl from KFC for the 3rd time in a row, atleast its real fucken cheap.
I live in NJ, so I also have plenty of real options. I will still eat at Wawa, but I'm not proud of it. The Wawa vs QuickChek bros are cringe.
I thought they stopped this build your own thing? I recall there was a backlash over it.
That would be silly. It’s like chipotle, everything is behind glass in the front and you tell em what you want while they make it.

Here is the source. Maybe they backtracked this stupid decision.
That article also says:
The new sandwiches became available Tuesday, though customers can still make substitutions or create their own sandwiches.
If you walked into a store and ordered the classic black forest ham, by default it basically comes plain and you're expected to pick out your own preferred toppings. But if you go in and order the new grand slam ham instead, it by default comes with a reasonable set of default toppings. You're still allowed to customize but now a lot of people won't need to.
And all this is moot for online ordering since the website does include default toppings for the classic sandwiches.
Of the chain delis in the US, my vote is for Ike’s.
That said, the locally owned place that isn’t a franchise will almost always be a million times better than any of these chains.
