I've loved Subway since the first time I ever went there when I was 18 years old when I moved back in with my parents when they moved to Quartz Hill in the Antelope Valley. We went there all the time and I remember that I always got the same thing. The Cold Cut Combo. To this day that's the only sandwich I ever get. Sometimes I'll be different and get a meatball sub or turkey but it's usually always the Cold Cut Combo. It tastes good to me.
Recently in the last few months or so I've been seeing the commercials for their $5 footlong. They are competing with Quizno's because Quizno's has a good deal too for $5. So they are just trying to keep or lure their customers away from the competition. That's fine and $5 is a good price for a 12" sub.
We went to Subway for dinner tonight and they had their sign (or window sticker) that says "Any" which implies what? All? That's what it implies to me. By saying any that means if I want a footlong meatball sub then it's $5 right? Wrong. The definition of "Any" for Subway means that they have a couple footlong sandwiches for $5. So isn't that false advertising?
I'm lucky the Cold Cut Combo just so happened to be $5 for the footlong because that's what I wanted anyway but it would be nice if they had more of a $5 selection.
I think that if a sign says "Any" then everything should be $5 and not just a select few. There were maybe 5 items on the menu that were $5 footlong. That's not a lot of choice. When we got to the register to pay for our $5 footlongs they asked if we wanted chips and a drink for $2 more each and we were like screw that. $1 for a drink and $1 for a little .50 cent bag of chips? Are you joking? We could go to McDonald's across the street to buy a 42oz coke for .69 cents and then to the grocery store also across the street for a bag of Chips which we ended up doing. We bought 2 large bags of Doritos (buy 1 get 1 free) and 2 bottles of sparkling flavored water for .79 cents per bottle.
I like Subway but I don't agree with this false advertisement. I think it's crappy because they lure you with the promise of a $5 footlong then you are stuck paying $7.59 for the sandwich you intended on buying.
