Out of high school I dated a girl that worked at Quiznos and she’d make me free sandwiches and they were pretty good. But she might’ve been making them better than usual for me, spitting in them, or both

There's one near me that's basically a quiznos in name only. It's sad. It doesn't have any of the branding left except for the sign outside, their menu was tiny compared to what it used to be, they had no au jus jacuzzis to make steak and cheeses with, and the chicken carbonara was a shadow of it's former self.

I mean autocorrect won't even give it a capital letter.

There’s another one a few miles away, and one in our spooky alien airport

Yeah, Quiznos is basically dead except for certain markets, but 15 years ago it was good. And Subway still sucked then.

Early on Quiznos was outright good but then they expanded too fast and started cutting corners to the point where they were using stale bread and crap and just collapsed.

this was because corporate was actively trying to gently caress over their franchisees with all this bullshit. I watched a good documentary on it but basically being a Quiznos franchisee at the height of their expansion was pure business hell

lol yeah. Something in the franchise agreement said the franchisee's could only use one supplier for their food. I think that supplier was owned by the Quiznos owner/franchisor, so they'd buy the ingredients wholesale then sell them to the stores marked up, so the stores had close to no margins to make a profit.

IIRC The big thing that killed Quiznos franchisees was that if corporate said there was a deal/sale that X sub was $5, every franchise either had to do it, or suffer a penalty. This worked out great for places in bumfuck midwest, but if you were say in NYC or Honolulu that $5 deal could be netting you -$2 to -$4 per sandwich. so you were damned if you do, damned if you don't. Add that to the "MUST USE CORPORATE MANDATED INGREDIENTS" and you have a disaster scenario of a TON of franchises.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The last time I had Quiznos was in the Hawaiian airport. It was the most expensive meal I had on my trip to Japan.

I loved a local place’s hot dog in a roll until I got food poisoning from that. To be fair it was my second time getting food poisoning there (first time was on a really tasty Turkey roll). They had really good sandwiches! And I feel like food poisoning once is an honest mistake so I gave them a second try. But the hot dog roll was not worth a third round of hugging a toilet all night.

There is a place in the richy part of the Phoenix area that does hot dogs in tortillas (a tortilla, not a torta; this is NOT a Sonoran dog, don’t get it twisted). Which is cool, I did that poo poo all the time as a kid. We always had tortillas, only sometimes hot dog buns. And this was my white family not my Mexican one no clue why they were the ones with the tortillas but I am thankful.

Anyway I wish I thought of charging eight dollars for a hot dog in a tortilla in Scottsdale. Then I could afford to visit Japan and eat Quiznos in Hawaii more regularly.

There's a Quiznos in my neighborhood that's somehow still opened. They are offering lobster subs which probably aren't real lobster and look like flesh-colored tater tots.

i looked at their national menu and was kinda shocked to see the sammies still on it, they're small flatbread sandwiches or lunchmeat tacos or w/e. it was the last thing i ever got at a quiznos in like 2002 and i thought they were a LTO

maybe that's the last time they updated the website
