      Seeing a lot of hate for their food… I haven’t been to a subway in probably over a decade (or two, even…), but I don’t remember them being bad. Overpriced maybe, but once the sub is actually in your hands it’s alright, isn’t it?

      Or did they enshittify since then? …actually stupid question, every fucking fast food chain has enshittified since then.

        My dislike for Subway comes from experience probably close to three decades ago, so nah, not enshittification (unless they’ve gotten even worse since then, LOL). The main things that bothered me were that the bread was weirdly sweet, and all the meats were pre-sliced and tasted not only not particularly fresh, but also kinda the same?

        I always thought Blimpie was vastly superior, if that gives you a frame of reference. It seems like even Blimpie isn’t considered all that great these days (compared to, IDK, Firehouse or Jersey Mike’s or something), so that’s saying a lot.

        One thing Subway wasn’t, at the time, was overpriced, BTW. That’s why my parents often preferred it over Blimpie, despite my objections.

        I’d rather have a sub from literally any other chain before one from Subway. Hell, at this point I might even rather give Quiktrip made-to-order subs a shot than go to Subway!
