Subway

Fast and friendly. Standard food for subway.
Restaurant is clean, but restroom is old and looks dingy.
Street parking at meters.

I will usually give a restaurant a couple of shots at getting something right. I know how things can go wrong in a business, so I’m often more forgiving than others. I’ve come to this Subway several times over the past few years. At first, it wasn’t bad. Occasionally there would be a rude employee, but overall it was good for an quick sandwich.
Progressively I’ve watched it slide downhill. First there was the manager who always seemed to have an attitude. Then it was an employee who was too high to put together a sandwich. Maybe he had to be high to deal with the rude manager, but I digress.
Now, it’s hit or miss every time I go in. I stopped going for several months and recently decided to give it another shot. New manager. New employees.
I went in on Tuesday and I got a decent sandwich, so I decided to go in yesterday for a breakfast sandwich. I had a simple request: a bacon and egg sandwich on flatbread.
«We’re out of flatbread,» the young lady said. So, I went with wheat.
«You want yellow eggs or white eggs?» she asked. Yellow.
«We’re out of yellow eggs,» she said. Okay, white.
At this point she calls to someone in the kitchen. «We got any eggs back there?»
As I waited for a response, she moved to the person ahead of me to continue his sandwich. He wanted lettuce and tomato.
«We don’t have any tomatoes or lettuce. We’re out and the truck don’t come til tomorrow.»
The gentleman decided he wanted to get a different sandwich then. The young lady yelled back to the kitchen, «Can you believe he don’t want this now?»
At this point, I got her attention and told her I’d be canceling my order as well.
«Ok, whatever,» she said as I walked out the door.
I won’t be going back to that Subway again.

Well, it’s been a while since my first review of this Subway, and it’s not looking good. The quality of both staff and service has gone downhill, not to mention the fact that today I had the worst sandwich I’ve experienced from this location. My assumption is that they made bread yesterday, saved it (thus not longer «eating fresh»), and then used it again today. My bread was literally ½ stale — almost the entire bottom portion of the bread could have been made into instant breadcrumbs.
Sometimes all you want is a decent sandwich to get you through the day until you can make yourself something decent for dinner. Sometimes you don’t get that, and today was certainly one of those days. C’mon guys, get it together.
