They make mediocre subs. Every city has at least on sub place where they cut the meats and cheeses in front of you which is way better than the stuff they leave laying around subway all day. Also it's not even the best fast food sub place; firehouse and quiznos are better too. I just don't understand it.

It was more disappointing (and surprising) when I found that even most of Manhattan isn't like Times Square.

subway has sub which contains 3 "turkey based meats" and they now slice the vegetable so thin you wouldn't be able to use their cucumbers on your eyes at the spa

Used to be a subway near where I worked and it was convenient to eat there even though it was crappy, but I had to stop going anyway because if you go in there you would smell like that awful subway bread smell for the rest of the day

It's gotta be at least partially because Subways are cheap to do as a start-up. They have cheap licensing fees, so it's easy for a sandwich place starting up to go "gently caress it, let's be a Subway", then get a guaranteed amount of clientele who knows what Subway is so they eat there. It's a known quantity.

Basically Subway is so omnipresent because they're omnipresent and also cheap

Jersey Mike's has subs made Mike's way, which is delicious and covered in oil and vinegar.

Firehouse Subs has tasty meat.

Subway has... closer physical proximity to where I work so I can walk there?

That is their only benefit

Hey OP I think it's possible that you are psychically-linked to me because last night when I was eating my delicious $5.99 #10 at Jimmy John's I idly wondered why the gently caress Subway is still in business when it sucks so loving hard compared to Jimmy John's and is at best a buck cheaper.

It's probably because you can jam a loving Subway into any convenience-store-restroom-size place, and because of the real power of lovely fast food, sheer apathy and inertia. I KNOW SUBWAY IT IS COMFORTABLE LIKE OLD LEATHER. IT SMELLS AND TASTES LIKE OLD LEATHER ALSO BUT I WILL AT LEAST NOT BE SURPRISED BY ANY NEW OR NOVEL EXPERIENCE THAT MAY CAUSE ME TO BE JOSTLED FROM MY COMFORT RUT.

I also hate Subway because of this inexplicable phenomenon:

"And just a little lettuce, like half a handful of lettuce, I really just want a little. Not very much at all, honestly."

>Subway employee leans forward and gathers a double armload of lettuce as if picking up a loving pile of towels, a lettuce pile so enormous they must use their whole arms and chest to control it, dumps it on sandwich with grand double arm fling, sandwich is totally obscured by mountainous pile of translucent lettuce shreds to the point the wrapper will not close around it<

"Or all the lettuce you have, that's cool too."

In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

Subway succeeds because of two reasons:

1) idiots believe that because they put vegetables on their sub, they can thrown on anything else and it's "healthy"
2) in a pinch people who actually eat healthy can get a relatively low-calorie meal with a lot of veggies customized to their liking

I remember back in the day, in Coupons and Deals, someone made fake coupons for "by one get 1 footlong free." My brother and I ate Subway for like a month and a half straight because it was like $3 per footlong sandwich. Then one day we showed up and our fake coupons were posted in the window with a sign saying they were fake and no longer accepting them.

Got my :10bux: worth for sure
