luckyluke 2 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Subway has that strange smell about it (a little bit like McDonalds) where it's more 'industrial' than food if you know what I mean. Its 'other-worldy'. Its what i imagine food on the Starship Enterprise tastes like. Fucking hell, if after another 500 years or whatever the best they can come up with is Subway I worry for my descendants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't quite put your finger on what it is about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I noticed theres a new subways about to open on waaaaallsend high street - couple of doors down from the kfc. My mate had a Subways franchise and managed to end up declaring himself bankrupt with it. Genius. How the fuck is that possible like, were you eating there for free? Seriously though.....how is that possible? Those places charge a fortune for next to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYe, the same aroma in every city in every country. I'm sure it's deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22401 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Btw, can I lose my official gastro snob badge now? Subway's not great, but's it's nowhere near as bad as some are making out on here and is better than BK, McDonald's, or KFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though.....how is that possible? Those places charge a fortune for next to shit. Not sure really. I know that Subway basically require you to pay them a certain amount every month regardless of takings - it's a percentage but there's a minimum threshold. He must have got into debt to set himself up with the franchise and then didn't make anywhere near enough to live on/pay off the debt. There's also the fact that he never actually went to the shop. He would just sit at home and fill in the returns and let his "sandwich artists" (I'm not joking, that's what they call them) do all the work.

I've just had a tomato, turkey and salami sandwich which took me about a minute to make, and I choose my sandwich at work based on how funny the pun in the title is. I wouldn't say I'm a gastro snob.

Gemmill 47061 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 He was forever having to pay to get the windows replaced too. Disgruntled sandwich shoppers were an issue. Plus people (hard people) turning up drunk and announcing that they wanted a sandwich but under no circumstances did they intend to pay for it. No sandwich artist should be expected to die for his art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
