In recent years they changed the menu, jacked up the prices, and can't seem to keep staff that are willing to clean tables and bathrooms in any location.
It's just gross, go to any Subway, literally anywhere, and the one thing they seem to have in common is that their bathrooms are worse than any truck stop.
Bread is more narrow too in recent years. They've been raising prices and shrinkflating everything they can. Nice to know I wasn't the only consumer who noticed.
As a consumer, I know they didn't "wrong" me, but it sort of feels like they were saying, "We're so much more clever than you, we'll raise your prices and give you less and you won't notice!"
But everyone noticed. And it feels good to see their bottom line suffering. Hope this is the comeuppance they needed to get their act together.
I used to love Subway, hell I ever worked at a Subway when I was in high school. Subway has been on a steady decline the last 5-7 years.
Just one small story... a few months back I picked up some sandwiches for some contractors that were at my house. 3 subs, nothing fancy. And the total was $47 (without drinks, cookies, or a tip). For suburban Texas... this is absurd. The staff member told me, "Use the website or the app next time, there are better deals there..."
So the next time I went to use the website, and I couldn't... their website just dies and hangs on this loading screen if you have an ad-blocker running. Junky. No way I'm disabling my ad-blocker just to order a sandwich.

But... I do have to say, Thundercloud Subs are way better anyway, and most are $5 cheaper than Subway at this point. So Subway being as awful as it is... this pushed me to find something better. Ha. https://thundercloud.com/main-menu/
