Always remember that when you buy food at the mall you'll probably get charged more... Franchises that operate in malls do this all the time... Like McDonalds charges $1.29 for a CHEESEBURGER at Vally Fair mall, whereas it would cost around $.79 if you were to buy it at a regular McDonalds... Panda Express charges an extra dollar for each of their combo plates at the same mall, and Subway will charge you tax on cold sandwiches (as well as toasting, which I dont even like cuz it dries out the sandwich)

When you have a spare minute, go look at the nutritional facts on their large sandwiches, and make a note to look at how much fat/calories/salt the large tuna melt has!!! It will blow your mind and you'll never eat there again. Quiznos is expensive, SUPER BAD for you, and the bread to meat ratio sucks.

THIS!!!!
Quizno's subs are terribly unhealthy. Subway doesn't taste nearly as good, but some of their menu is fairly healthy.
hahah its a little different out there.. its always cool to see what other countries have in their mcdonalds. plus it was right next to the train station and we didnt get a chance to eat breakfast as we were late for a train.
Yeah, You've Probably Never Heard Of Me.

But ya, if you go shopping there, make sure to bring your own bags to. They charge for plastic bags by law.

Here's an email I received. Very vague IMO.
UNITED STATES
Dear Mr Wong:
Thank you for taking the time to contact Subway.
I am sorry to hear you feel you were charged incorrect taxes on your recent purchase.
The State of California tax laws are extremely complicated. To summarize it the law mandates sales tax
be applied to any of the following:
Hot foods which are prepared hot or made hot by microwaving or toasting.
All food that is eaten on premise.
Meal deals, since meal deals consist of a combination of hot and cold items, such as a meal or dinner
which includes cold components (such as a carbonated beverage) or side items, tax applies to the
entire price regardless of itemization on the receipt.
Swapping your drink for a non carbonated drink will still be considered taxable since it is part of our
meal deal option.
Miscellaneous items if applicable will have tax charged if eaten on premise.
As with all transactions, it is up to each employee to press the correct buttons for dining in, if a sub was
toasted or made hot and for all meal deals.
Sincerely,
Ann Harrigan x8201
Customer Care Representative

What really grinds my gears is when liquor stores stick a "$1.50" on a "Great buy 99c" Arizona!

I absolutely hate subway. Hate it. Their bread sucks. Remember when they used to PEEL it out of those rubber things? Meat to veggie ratio is absolutely hilarious.
Case in point.
Roast beef sandwich
Subway gives you TWO slices of cow. Two slices. Then I don't know how much veggies but is some depressing ratio.
Over at togos you get 4.5 ounces of cow on a regular and 7.5 ounces on a large. Meat to veggie ratio is at worst 50/50, but more like 70/30.
Subway's bread cannot handle the meager amount of meatballs they include on their sandwich. I get the sandwich, run upstairs, sit down, unwrap, and look at that, the bread has succumbed to a horrible, soggy death. The bread starts life as a one inch high "roll", and after they cut it up and add stuff, its a soggy or veggitastic mess.
Don't get me wrong, I like my veggies on my sandwich, but Subway does it wrong.
I lost a battle with dignity and ordered a flat bread.
It was disgusting. I like flat bread, I really do. How they managed to ruin it is beyond me.
I say this to myself and every two months or so I stupidly go back for more punishment:
"Subway is good for large drinks and chips only."
And of all the things horribly exaggerated advertised, Subway takes first honors. (Which is probably why I get suckered into it every so often)
And they always have a heart attack when I want to add extra cheese on top of extra cheese. Yes, three tiny triangle of cheese do not satisfy me, I would like six tiny triangles.
Heat attack.
Everytime.
