Subway is one of the most well known submarine sandwich chain of all time. And for a while, they were cruising along like a train. But somewhere along the way, the ride got a little bumpy, and eventually the franchise all but derailed. So what happened, like , ASIDE from that whole fiasco with Jared Fogel?

6:41 this absolutely did not surprise Subway. Subway knew for a long time of his abuse of children, and remember that he toured several schools to speak at assemblies to children. This is public knowledge so I'm not sure why you would phrase it that way.
And now it's overpriced
The main problem for me, is the rise of better, more affordable sub shops. I would much rather spend my money at Firehouse , or Jersey Mike's
Us before we even get to watch : "Jared"
I finally stopped eating Subway about two years ago. The quality is gone. They now cover up the sandwich prep area, the veggies sure aren't fresh, and the cheese tastes cheap. Not what it used to be decades ago.
Their problem isn't Jared, it's their insanely high prices.
aaaahhhhhh jarod,
he had aids……
i mean aides to help him lose weight
I remember being at a party where they had a Subway plate of six-inchers. I tried one, and I thought it was an amazing sub.
But I've never had another sub at Subway that was barely more than edible. Maybe it was that particular store that prepared the plate? Their sandwiches have very little meat/protein, the bread is mushy grossness, and I don't think I've been in a Subway in almost 15 years now, if not more.
If I'm going to get a sub from a chain, instead of a local place, it's going to be Jersey Mike's or Firehouse.
Does anyone know where Weird Food History posts their sources? I was hoping to look more into whatever subway shop Buck drove all the way back to Maine for. I have a hunch it was Amato's.
They changed their meatballs into a mixture of pork and beef instead of just beef, and I didn't care for it. Bacon and Sausage are nice, but I'm not a huge fan of pork. The only other sub worth ordering is the cheese steak, but it's too expensive. You can get a pack of four steaks that crumble and cook within minutes from Walmart. Plus the rolls, cheese, and onions, you basically have four steak subs for the price of one. Sorry, but Subway fails. If you don't have a higher quality product then what you can make at home, then it's not worth eating out.
I prefer Quizno's…though they're few and far between.
It sucks to work at Subway. That place is the worst. They are generous with the amount of work they want to dump on you. And then they don't want to pay you anything. If you do get overtime they will try to screw your check and if you speak up about it then they try to guilt trip you. Sucks balls. And the customers were like brain dead. It was taking them five to ten minutes to figure out that they just wanted the same thing they always get. And it was always "uh duh mhmmeeeeeeetbaaall."
Not Even Taco Bell sends me to the bathroom faster than Subway. I have a coworker that loves subway and they offer to buy and i turn them down.
Only had Subway twice in my life, quite honestly the biggest rip off to ever come along to the UK fast food industry. Yes fast food is a rip off, but Subway was something else, it sold sandwiches and honestly no sandwiches will ever beat good small owned sandwich shops. With lre packaged sandwiches from places likes Marks and Spencers and Pret a Manger, and the abundance of sandwich shops in city centres I am surprised Subway ever got a toehold in the UK.
Quality went down, prices went up, competition came along.
I used to throw the old meat and roaches in the sandwiches 😂😂😂 that place sucked ass to work for
I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT GUY GOT CAUGHT FOR CP 😮
He now goes by the name "McLovin,"
Same problem as McDonalds and every other fast food joint, the menu items are smaller while using lower quality ingredients and they taste bland or even chemically in some cases – oh and we are paying way more for way less!
Another woke franchise, Gone now! Haha
Even after all the problems they had they took away my favorite thing and never been back since. It was the tomato basil wrap with turkey bacon and avocado. The only thing I liked about them.
Now I finally know where the name comes from! Good they haven't named it from "baguette", as that would be BAGWAY 😆
The one here in Strasburg Ohio is a joke … horrible!! Just check out their google reviews.
Was there ever a worse place to eat?
In the UK they got rid of the hot chilli sauce which was the only reason I went, have only been a handful of times in the last 5 years or so years since they ditched it 😟
I first went to a Subway in 1991, my first semester of college after leaving the army and fighting in the Gulf War. My girlfriend and I would "splurge" on Subway sammies every once in a while. Didn't eat one again until 2007ish, when my wife (not that college girlfriend) and I would get footlong veggie sammies while renovating a 160-yr-old brownstone in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. We'd take a lunchbreak, share a footlong and drink a couple beers on our stoop. That Subway is long gone and I haven't had one since prob 2009. Ah, sandwich memories…
They get really aggressive when you want to sub the ham for turkey in the BMT.
Subway is so dank these days, that nasty aftertaste will stick with you for many hours. The vegetables are soggy and just look nutrient deficient for a veggie, such low quality. Used to love subway as a youngster. Can’t stomach it as an adult.
I quit eating at Subway years ago. I’ve been all in on Jersey Mike’s for the past 20 years. HUGE difference in quality.
I only worked there for less than a month. I was clear that I needed to work at least 35 hours a week and they gladly hired me to only let me work 20 at most. One shift was literally only an hour and a half long and not worth my time at all. One of the other locations a mile up the road was recently robbed, and there was no response to keep the workers safe knowing that there were times when all of the workers present were teenagers. The owner tried to give me a “you should be grateful we hired you, there’s people that need jobs like this” spheal. They didn’t deserve a two week notice lol
I don’t have a go to sandwich there because I don’t go there anymore. Insane prices, always out of ingredients and they have severely lowered the quality of the ingredients they do have. No more Subway for me.
