I read some article about how subway franchise owners HATED $5 footlong because it was making them go broke. You could tell if you went in there by how aggressively they pushed the cookie on you.

Just the sandwich? You don’t want a cookie? Come on buy a cookie! How about a soda?

The lack of toppings they put on those things made them worth far less than $5. 2 slices of meat and cheese and a bunch of lettuce? I can make a better sub for cheaper than that with stuff from the grocery store.

My subway was generous, and wrapped up a piece of their food safety glove with my sandwich. They wouldn't refund me, so I decided to be generous as well, and not ever go back to any locations.
