My brother used to be involved in managing a local indie coffee house; when interviewing for new hires, they would ask the prospect to refill something like the bathroom paper-towel dispensers. The object was to see if they got the towels/napkins with the "c-fold" correctly pointing down/out, since if you put them in backwards its almost impossible to get them out of the dispenser. Although of course they had a 50/50 random chance of getting it right anyhow...
I like my crappy fast food both fast and crappy, thankyouverymuch.
Which is basically saying that you can't be bothered buying the ingredients (cheese, bread,lettuce,onion,etc) and make em yourself for one-tenth the cost .... cause that would require brains.
Do these same guys go home and demand even tongue pressure on their entire shaft as well?
Tomatoes come to mind. It's hard to fuck up tomatoes, unless they're out of season, in which case everyone has shitty tomatoes anyway.
It's not Subway lettuce itself that sucks, by the way, it's iceberg lettuce in general.
They do have "unprocessed" meats (ie meats that aren't formed into a gelatinous block).
The bread is easily Subway's most redeeming quality.
(I.e., extra cheese hanging over the side of the sandwich, not some sort of illness experienced the morning after a cheese binge.)
You're the one defending Subway and excluding specific ingredients. You seemed very familiar with the menu, sorry.
Also-avocado is pretty much the entire reason for my post. In CA, everyone is all, "Oh, sure, but it'll be $.40." And I'm all "YES. WTF is the point of a turkey sandwich with no avocado?" In WA, they look at you as if you have 3 heads when you request avocado. It's not as if Subway's ingredients aside from avocado are so spectacular as to be above reproach.
All that aside, I hate raw tomatoes and Subway bread is meh. But it is way preferable to most of the alternatives on a road trip, I'll give you that.
Yeah, Subway blows. That said, it's fine if your other choices are deep fried everything else. Even then, that's only if I want to be "eating healthy." I'd rather eat a semi-decent terrible-for-me burger and fries than a really, really shitty sandwich.
But man, I had the BEST and biggest chicken and pesto panino yesterday. Grilled bread, I die for it.
For what it's worth, I try to avoid iceberg lettuce regardless of where it is being served. My topping choices at Subway were usually: mayo, mustard, pepper jack if possible otherwise cheddar, pinch of lettuce, tomatoes, olives, black pepper. The chicken might be their most edible meat. I usually got roast beef, which, while processed, does not seem as bad as their nasty gelatinous mold of turkey breast. Their cold cuts seem ok too.
