Quiznos or Subway?

[r0tor]

like i said before... the local places are just too bland.  I've never seen pepperoni offered on a hoagie at any of the local places.  Sure they can pile on tremendous amounts of quality meat at the local meat market near my work - but its always the standard ham , more ham, more ham, a slice of salami, and very limited condiments (Lettuce, onion, tomatoe). 

If your into a lunchmeat sammich instead of a wide variety of taste - then its fine.  Otherwise, you need to go to a place that can manufacture more taste.

How can a local sammich shop not have pepperoni?

Either you're just not going to the right places, or where you live just plain sucks in the sandwich department.

I've blacklisted Canadian Quiznos locations. When paying with my debit card, they automatically add a $1.50 surchage, plus add a 10% tip. On top of all that, a foot long sub is about as wide as a hotdog bun, and only about 10 inches long.

Fuck that. Why should I pay a surcharge when I can go to subway, and why should I give someone a tip, when I have to stand in line, fill my own drink, and bring the food back to my table.

I look forward to my twice yearly trip to denver where I can hit a quiznos and not get ripped off, because I do enjoy the taste of their subs.

Crap! You serious? They don't do that here. (Winnipeg). That sort of thing sounds pretty criminal to me. It's not like they're sending out a waitress and spitting out drink refills to you while you sit.

I sure am. There was actually a piece on a radio talk show a couple weeks ago about the manditory tip and surcharge at a fast food establishment. Although they didn't exactly say it was quiznos, it was pretty obvious to anyone who has gone there, that was what they were talking about. Many people who called in, such as myself, have quit going there since they implimented that.

I would have demanded a refund on the spot, including the surcharge and "tip". I got a restaurant bill once that added a 10% tip, and I had the manager remove it. I'm usually a good tipper, but they got none from me that day.

[Lebowski]

I absolutely hate the concept of a mandatory tip, or an automatically added "gratuity".  Hello, look up "gratuity" in the dictionary you assholes, it is by definition an optional thank-you.  The whole point of the tipping system we have in the US is to add an incentive to provide good service, mandatory gratuity completely defeats the purpose of that.

Quiznos makes big fucking meaty sandwiches. I could have a french dip sandwich for lunch and dinner and be full both times.
Subway has little flat wiener sandwiches and their little toaster oven sucks balls.

[Secret Chimp]

Also, tips - the only person I tip is this guy at the local Cup O'Joe I have a rapport with, and at restaurants as is customary. Other professions where you're just expected to randomly pull a few bucks out of your pocket and go "here you go!" or some junk I don't do.

[TBR]

I went to Quiznos last night and the service was actually very good, they were very friendly and apologized for the wait (even though it was typical). I would have left a tip if there was a tip jar (and I never do that). Hell, I wish I had thought to offer those kids a job (no manager and good service from high school sophomores or so, never seen that happen).

I find them to be equal most of the time. Really, I just go to whichever is closest.

Anyone want to know how much meat really is on a Subway sandwich?  It's surprisingly little.

Exactly. I like my Meat to compliment everything else on the sandwich.

[Soup DeVille]

Meat rarely hands out compliments. In fact, I think that whole ordeal where it was butchered, cooked, sliced up, and put into a sandwich has given it a rather cynical disposition.

[J86]

Had Wegman's today...that was excellent.

You have it ass backwards.

[omicron]

How do you explain why so many people buy Bose speakers?  Why do people ask for Grey Goose instead of Smirnoff when 1) Vodka has such a neutral flavour you can barely tell the difference, and 2) any discernable difference is irrelevant since they're ordering it mixed with tonic?

Smirnoff tastes like embalming fluid.

I know this because I gain nutrients from inserting straws into dead people and sucking hard.

Then choose any other moderately priced vodka.  I bet 9 out of 10 people who order a grey goose and tonic couldn't tell the difference if it was made with Sky or some other decent but moderately priced vodka.

whe i buy vodka, i get svedka.  not too much $$, tastes better than popov

2.5 oz. of chicken strips on a sandwich with plain chicken or steak and 3 oz. if it's chicken teriyaki.  Double that for a footlong.

You're in college, is taste really that big of a deal? 

[Lebowski]

I went to Quiznos today for the first time in a long time.  I got the steakhouse beef dip (fancy name for their take on a french dip), it was a pretty tasty sammich considering we're talking pseudo fast food here.  It was extremely rich and unhealthy, though, thanks to about 10 tons of a cream-based sauche they put on it.  The service was utterly horrible, I couldn't figure out how they managed to move things along so slowly.

Still much better sammiches than subway, that's for sure.

Popov is exactly the same as smirnoff: except smirnoff runs though an extra filter before it's bottled. They're distilled together though.

Yes, he's a sailor.

Also, is there some law that says college students must have extremely low standards?

steakhouse beef dip is by far the best thing at Quizno's... probably some of the best fast food period

[GoCougs]

I just had a 12" Subway double-stacked club on wheat, with extra bacon. God food.

Thank you!

The amount of $$ I spend on rum...  gotta have the Mount Gay and Gosling's Black Seal on hand at all times!

I'll drink Keystone for games, but I won't sip on one.

[J86]

and I had TWO Wegman's subs today

[nickdrinkwater]

Did the word 'Sub' come from Subway?

Before Subway opened here I'd never heard of that term for a sandwich and I thought it was a marketing thing (like a Hoover for example).  But now I've seen a few other places selling subs (there's a Quinzos in my city, and I went in Jimmy Johns in Chicago) so I guess it's a general thing?
