subway haters are beyond logic imo, theyre just damn sandwiches.

I don't...I avoid talking to my Dad now. I just don't like him anymore.

So, ideal for the thread?

Subway is probably the most white trash eating option available. You can go to real sandwich shops that use proper bread and proper ingredients instead for almost the same price.

DYE cracker barrel, bro? There is a reason it has that name.

Oh God I'd almost forgotten that one.

Especially when you're a support person and this person is never contacting you unless something is wrong.

NOC: Hello CW how are you today?

CW: (****) Fine thanks you?

NOC: Very well thank you.

CW: What's up?

NOC: All sites on the East Coast USA appear to be unreachable. Please investigate and do the needful.

That is a pretty big problem your Nigerian Operations Chief has. The whole East Coast? That's a ton of scam emails that can't reach their intended targets.

unless you dont live in the middle of a city

people who get worked up about others eating completely standard food are hilarious

If you are in a town of over 15,000 people. You have a place that serves sandwiches that isn't Subway.

I didn’t, actually! But I realized between posts that millions might be a ridiculous overstatement, which would have been unseemly when I was accusing grando of a literary overstatement!

but the subways are everywhere. the entire selling point of a fast food chain is that they are cheaper and closer to you. people will sacrifice some quality for that

Subway is just a sandwich. Same as a million other places. No better, no worse.

I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

Don't waste a perfectly good sandwich eating opportunity on what is basically an avatar representation of a sandwich. You have a finite number of lunches.

Super-transparent and disappointing troll attempt there.

No, a perfectly correct observation about the reality of sandwiches.

Sometimes I get thirsty because I suffer from an affliction called being human. Why should I wait half an hour to drink? The supermarket doesn't mind. Neither should you.

I had some excellent lobster ravioli once. Unfortunately that restaurant is thousand of kilometers away and I have tried to find something similar ever since.

^^^This.

On the thread topic - People that think there is any difference in basic sandwiches are starting to piss me off.

Subway is a huge step up from the two slices of gas station bread, mustard and wad of turkey I usually have for lunch.

I would like to take some of you all to lunch some day. I'm afraid I may ruin your lives by giving you a taste of a decent to excellent sandwich, though.

Even Safeway is better than subway by orders of magnitude. It is absurd to say subway is the middle ground on sandwiches and not deep in the lower end of the spectrum.

This statement is idiotic on its face.

I get a 6" BMT double meat toasted with provolone, lettuce, tomato, onions, extra olives, oil and vinegar and salt & pepper. And I really like their green tea mixed with half regular ice tea. The cookies are good too, and not gigantic.

It's better than two of my local deli places, and closer to my house. Neither of those places do an Italian sub right. One's signature sandwich is boring turkey, the other is weird loose ground beef with egg (wtf).

Jersey Mikes is a little better but it's farther away and often has a long-ass line. And their cookies are too big.

There is an Italian deli that has absolutely incredible bread a little farther away. But the service kind of sucks and I get burned out in it for some reason. Their 1/2 sandwich is too small and their whole is too large. If I get a whole, the sandwich sucks after sitting for a while. Also it's so good I don't want to stop eating and often walk away bloated after eating the whole damn thing. And on top of that if they have cannolis I either get one or have to fight a huge willpower battle not to. This causes me stress.

There are 5 Subways in like a mile of my house and the one closest to me never has a line. I don't always need God's gift to sandwiches - just a reasonably tasty quick lunch. I seem to have dividing line between my < 5 minute drive places and > 5 minute drive. I rarely do the latter as the food isn't as good when I get it back home plus it just feels like too big of a haul for a standard lunch or dinner.

When was the last time you had a deli sandwich from a big grocery store? They are essentially the same as making the sandwich at home but put the fixins on instead of just slapping some mayo, cheese and meat on some bread.

Yeah except good luck getting someone to help you in under 15 minutes at any of the grocery stores by my house. If you're lucky there's actually a person manning the deli-station/hot food items/salads/whatever else. If you're really lucky there's no one else in line. A line of 3 people can easily take 10 min. +. I know some grocery stores are better set up to handle sandwiches. But even then I seem to see people waiting around forever.

Also the sandwiches are just Boars' Head slapped on some mediocre crusty french bread with for some reason too cold mayo, lettuce, tomato etc. There's nothing special about them. You want shredded lettuce that's not super ice cold. Grocery stores always seem to put big 1" square chunks of ice cold romaine lettuce - which upsets the whole balance. The lettuce should just exist to provide some airspace between the bread and meat/cheese when you bite into the sandwich. It should not be a taste/texture/temperature sensation in itself.

The point wasn’t speed, it was quality. You don’t go to grocery store delis for quick food.
