However, when I say my ingredients, my selecting voice reminds of Josh Groban, I imagine. "I hope he's ordering two sandwiches. I could listen him all day. I'm no longer hungry - I just ate beautifulvoice."

Also, just because Subway offers it, doesn't mean every single item has to be shoved into your sadwhich. Yes, SADwich.

That's why I don't go to subway anymore. Too many choices. Too much pressure for fast food. Meatball. Provolone. Bread. That's it, please.

It's the "more mayo" people that get me. You don't need that much mayonnaise on your sandwich! I find that more gross than annoying, though.

I hate explaining what I want in my sadwich. I feel like the guy behind the counter is smirking at my selection and that I'm being judged by everyone behind me in the line. I am weird, yes.

I live the cubicle live. I'm surrounded by cubicle-like eatstops. Subway is about the only joint I frequent around here. On very special days, Thai food. Deli's? This is Atlanta.

I have an appetite like a guy. And the one thing I hate is the counter guys practically rolling their eyes as I ask for anything more than a lettuce sandwich. Yes, I want roast beef, a little mayo, cheese, lettuce and I want it on a big hero roll. Jesus, I'm not even a dainty girl - what the hell makes you think I want nothing but birdseed and water for lunch?

Yeah, that's the other thing. They work there, shouldn't they know what goes on a Chipotle Cheesesteak sandwich? Tomatoes? Should I put tomatoes on this? Onions? Banana pepper? I just want to eat sub-par food for slightly less money than the cost of par-food. And I don't want chips.

I have a deli near me that calls themselves the Sandwich Kings. They have a sandwich called The Bomb which is basically every single meat and cheese they have in the place, topped with both sweet and hot peppers and whatever else you want. It's about half an Italian loaf and costs 6 bucks. I can hardly finish half the fucking thing.

So when I go to Subway and see them give me a couple slices of cheese and a few slices of meat for about the same price, it seems like an insane rip. Sorry for you guys that don't have an option.... Subway really is garbage.

Man, I hear you. Apparently, according to nearly every customer who called in, I used to work at Barnes & NobleS, and not Barnes & Noble, as I so foolishly thought it was called.

Subway is the sandwich shop of last resort. Pretty much the only time I eat there is when I don't want fast food late at night (some of the shops near me are open until 11 or 12).

That being said, Subway's sandwiches are crappy, salty cold-cut nasterpieces. I'm sorry, that's NOT roast beef. Not even close.

I love the ads that champion how healthy the food is and they forget to mention that one sandwich has your entire day's worth of sodium in it.

Ever since the Quiznos started spreading here the Subways are way more empty than ever. It's not beating a good local sandwich joint, but it's still better.

Oh, this is my favorite. Actual conversation from a few years ago:

"Yeah, this (pointing to promo board with new sandwich option) looks good. Can I have this Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich on Italian Herb bread?"

"OK. Want lettuce, tomato, onion?"

"Sure. Well, whatever that is in the picture."

"Uh-huh. American Cheese?"

"...that looks like feta in the picture. Can you just fix it the normal way?"

"Sweet Onion dressing?"

"I believe there's olive oil in this thing."

"Bacon? Peppers?"

"I dunno. The sandwich in the picture looks good. I'm assuming it's a special sandwich this month. Did they tell you guys how to make it?"

"Sure they did. Want peppers, pickles...?"

"...do you actually know what's in this damn thing?"

"Whatever you want to be in it."

"...'kay, screw it, just give me a turkey sandwich on wheat, lettuce, onion, no tomato, with honey mustard."

"OK. Want lettuce, tomato, onion?"

We have a fantastic sandwich shop in Culver City next to the Sony lot called Victor Jr's that makes really good roast beef sandwiches and cheesesteaks (I hightly recommend it to anyone in the area). The only problem is the owner is really religious (there is religious paraphernalia all over the shop) and closes for the weekends. Bah!

The only thing Subway is good for is making me realize what I'm missing from my Chicago days. Portillo's, I'm talking to you.

Does anyone remember the Subway bread before the great bread switchover in '99 - '00? Instead of cutting the bread in half, which is what a normal person would do, they did this completely nonsensical thing where they would cut out a thin WEDGE of bread out of the top of the loaf, stuff your toppings inside the hole, and then carefully balance the breadwedge back on top. It was terrible bread, which was underscored by the fact that after a predetermined about of time, the breadwegde was destined to become a soggy, limp starch tail, since it absorbed all of the sauces, oils, and creams from the top of the sandwich.

It made absolutely no sense whatsoever and added nothing to your enjoyment of the sandwich, but for me, it's exactly the kind of insanity I'm missing in today's modern sandwiches.

Goddamn, it's a bland sandwich no matter what you put on it. Maybe that's why people want to overload it. I should stop going there. But the draw of yellow tables that hold up to 2.5 people is too much to withstand. I love to sit in that hilarity, holding my sadwich with tears in mine eyes...

Subway isn't the best out there, but I don't mind it. Sure, I'd rather get an Italian cold cut from a local place, but if I'm only close to a Subway without much time, the Italian BMT isn't too hateful. And the Italian Herb and Cheese bread is pretty good. I do feel they should cease and desist from trying to sell any and all cheesesteak subs however, as those are just a mockery of the real thing.

The best places though are still mom and pop Italian deli's, though, whenever I'm in a place like that I can't help myself from going straight for the prosciutto and mozzarella.

I went ahead and asked the local cunt running my "Subway's" to double toast my Steak n' Cheeser a little while ago. She said "no". I told her to make the sadwhich the way I wanted it, or I was taking off.

the whole 60 seconds it was in the "oven", she stood there, clicking her fucking tongue and saying shit like "That's how you ruin a sandwich". I told her it was the only way to get flavour outta these shitslabs, and she followed that up by making the sadwhich looks as shit as possible.

Oooooh, you got me, Haitian Sangwich Slinger. You were SO right.

Sandwhich artist my fivehole.

While, like most, I prefer local places above all (and Quizno's is usually my preferred sub chain), Jimmy John's is the very model of efficiency. They usually have the sub ready to go by the time I have my change back. It's incredible.

Jimmy Johns has actually delivered subs to me seven minutes before I ordered. The causality paradox erased most of the Franco-Prussian War, but god damn was that a good sandwich.

Quiznos is the deliciousness, as is Panera bread (for non-submarine sandwiches, and awesome salads). I will say though, they're an average of 2-4 dollars more expensive than a subway. Obviously you get what you pay for, but hell, it's a sandwich. Bread meat cheese veggies and a dressing of some sort. How are your local subway's really screwing this up?

Quizno's and other deli sandwich shops use actual cuts of meat in their sandwiches. Subway uses nasty processed cold cuts. It makes a world of difference.

One thing that really pisses me off about subway is how inconsistent the 'artists' are. It's a crap shoot as to whether the construction of my overpriced sandwich will be half-assed or not. I'd rather make sandwiches at home.

Quizno's doesn't deserve the kind words it's getting. They heat your sandwich in front of you! And have selections like the Bacon Ranch Chicken Onion Pretzel Flavormound. Fuck a Quizno's.

I do like Jimmy John's, home of the long, thin, and compact sub. Motherfucker's nowhere near me tho.

Agreed. They've got 3 inch-thick bread, and then they melt the .5mm slice of cheese on it. Thanks, cocksucker, I'm really going to taste that on my sandwich!

I hate the NYC style deli sandwich of piling on a pound of meat on thin rye (bread has flavor, but you'll never get a chance to taste it in these monsters), but Quizno's is in the other extreme. Yeah, the meat's a higher quality, but it's paper thin and you're putting two slices on the entire sandwich. And then charging me $7? Fuck that.
