Subway

So what am I doing in Opelika, AL and what am I doing reviewing a Subway and why are you reading this? I’m passing through on U.S. 280E, I’m hungry and vegan choices in Opelika are well… not so much. You on the other hand should not be looking up Subway reviews unless you love the haters comments which at times can be amusing. One star awarded because even though I didn’t use it, they did have that unique drive-​in window that was getting a real work-​out. Did you know you can get a veggie salad now at Subway? That’s how long it’s been since I’ve been in a Subway, so they get a star for that. The young person that helped me order and made the salad was a little stunned that I didn’t want meat or cheese, really??? I think she felt bad for me and made my salad extra large and provided not one but two little bags of crutons to make up for me not getting any heart attack ingredients. If you’ve read this far you’ll see I’m really stretching to give them a 3 star rating and hope you have good luck here too. You’ll need it.

Horrible Service!!! Everytime we go here they always get our orders wrong. They are unorganized and I believe the drive thru is a issue because they get the orders mixed up! The staff seems unhappy and don’t look as if they want to be there!

Yes, they have a drive-​thru, but don’t use it! My husband and I picked up a foot long to take home to share. W old you like it toasted? Yes, please. What kind of cheese? Provolone. What else, let, Tom and banana peppers. Got home with untoasted, bell pepper and cut ¹⁄₃ and ²⁄₃!

+ POSITIVE: 1) They have a drive-​thru!
— NEGATIVE: 1) Poor attitude (at first we were assuming they were just ready to go home — not close to closing time, mind you — then one gal said as much to the other. While «we couldn’t care less» wasn’t verbally expressed, it was in every other way conveyed). 2) Upon ordering a meatball marinara: «We’re out of meatballs.» Out of meatballs? Has the drive-​thru proved SO successful that you simply cannot find the space to store an ample supply of meatballs? Or… could it be — since you have absolutely no interest in being here tonight — you simply can’t be bothered to walk those entire seven steps to retrieve more meat-​containing morsels? Time to order something else… «Okay, a Subway Club, please.» This has to be a safe choice — «Subway» is part of the sandwich’s name, right? I mean, sure, the meatball sandwich is on the menu, but it’s not the «Subway Meatball Marinara». Her response: «Oh, we’re out of roast beef.» Whaaaaaaat? Hey, it’s not like the Grinch wasn’t there to carve the roast beast… because I’m looking at her!
SUMMARY: So, yes, they have a drive-​thru. One star for that. And they did properly and efficiently prepare our (third choice) sandwiches. One star for that. No meatballs? Minus one star. No roast beef? Minus one star. No meatballs OR roast beef? Priceless. I mean, star-​less.
