Subway is a nasty place! I used to eat there, but now I avoid it like the plague. (Probably because I'm afraid of GETTING the plague!) The last few times I ate there, well over two years ago, I ended up with either food poisoning (thankfully minor) or some kind of flu-like illness. The food is not only stuffed full of chemicals, it is left out in the open where I have watched unwashed workers sneeze and cough on it. Just another place where laziness costs money and health.

I've wondered about all that meat just laying around. There is a fridge system underneath (I've seen it when they change out a bin of pickles or whatever), and the condiments seem to have little lids, but the meat and veggies ARE all out in the open.

How do they keep dust from settling on the food (or worse?) I guess they don't. Ewww.

At the two Subway restaurants near here, they both have excellent sanitation grades and EVERYTHING has a lid. It's much better with everything staying covered.

I'm so good at clogging up toilets, I can make mine back up when there's nothing in it.

Subway is my favorite! I always wanted to be gay with that Jared guy who lost all the weight (maybe from dissentary!), but who still doesn't look right.

LOL TSV. I also avoid most Subways because of filthy conditions.

The only Subway that I will eat at is the one in Framingham. That Subway is spotless.

Well, honest to Jared, folks, I've never had a bad experience at a Subway. Nothing unexpected at the other end. I like the fact that I can control the ingredients, and I've never gotten a bad sandwich. Maybe there are a few Subways here and there that people have run into that weren't up to snuff, but I travel a great deal and have never run into a substandard Subway. (I think there may be some sort of pun in there somewhere.)

I will never eat at a Subway again. I'm biased though. I work at a locally owned sandwich shop (next door to subway ironically), and have been there through most of college. The Subway next to us is going out of business because of us. The employees get paid more and everything from the bread to the tomatoes is all locally grown/made/delivered. Essentially, everything is fresh. We even make our own soups and meatballs.

Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.

I've told this story somewhere before, but one time I was in a Subway, and asked for avocado to be added to my sammich.

The boy looked at me incredulously and croaked, "You want AVOCADO on your SANDWICH?!? Are you sure?" Yes, yes I did want avocado, thank you.

"Well, Okay..." He pulled all kinds of faces and made all sorts of choking noises while he was cutting the lucious, buttery green goodness. All the while, he shook his head in disbelief.

Screw him. I've never gotten a bad sammich there.

Avocado gets a bad rap nutritionally. It's gotten the reputation of a high-fat food, but it's loaded with healthy mono-unsaturated fats which are heart healthy. And I think it's fantastic in salads and dips.

I cannot bring myself to eat fish, so my "good fat" has to come from avocado, nuts, etc...

Not that I'm complaining.

DungDaddy, I agree with you. You can tell that Jared has several pounds of skin sagging under his clothes. It makes him look creepy.

I love Subway and have never had a problem with their food.

I HATE SUBWAY! Up in Canada we have a chain called Mr. Sub and they have great subs, same fixings as Subway but the meat is NOT sliced to micron thinness. When I get a Sub I expect to taste the meat that's on it, not just the cheap veggies that accompanies it, Subway loads their subs with the cheap veggies and skimps big time on the meat. Mr. Sub is Big on the meat and you can get as much veggies as you want as well. Cleanliness I think boils down to the franchisee and individual employee, just cause you got crap at one is not indicative of crap at all of them.

Jared was at least a three-hundred fifty pounder before he lost all that weight on Subway subs. So, yes, he probably has some major saggage (yes, I know that's not a word!) to deal with. I'm told you can have extra skin removed and tighten yourself up.

Ummm, that's creepy in itself.

Oh, welcome back Dakota. I have enjoyed reading your contributions to the site.

I wonder if Jarred lost all of that weight because of dysentery, from one of the filthy Subway chains?

I don't know about elsewhere, but every Subway around here is very clean. On a 100-point scale, every Subway I have been to posts 97 or above. They never know when to expect an inspection, either--they just show up.

[Insert witty banter here]

Plastic surgeons can do a "whole body lift" and cut lots of extra skin off. I've wondered if whoring for Subway is Jared's only job, or if he's employed doing anything else.

You'd think he'd save up enough to get a little nip/tuck.

Saggage. TBW gets and extra five points fo "saggage."

That Bob Saggage guy on America's Funniest Home Videos was extremely annoying...but he told a good one on the aristocrats.

Bob Saggage. Sob Baggage. Sobway Subs. Subway Sobs. It's all a cryin' shame!

The two Subways I go to are very clean. Everything has lids and the meat,cheese, condiments etc. are stored and handled properly.The employees change gloves for each sub and they don't skimp on the ingredients.(Roast beef on Italian bread is my favorite)I have never gotten sick from Subway, Wendy's however is another story.

There was an ad in the local paper recently for jobs at a nearby Subway and after the phone number you were supposed to call it said "ask for Jared." I laughed more than I should have.

We have a Subway inside our building at work and it is always clean and the food is pretty good. I usually eat the chicken sandwiches or meatball subs though so I don't have problems with lack of meat like Bunga does. (Hee hee.) If I want a real sandwich with lunchmeat I will always go to an Italian restaurant or deli. Subway sells subs, not flippin' hoagies. If I have my choice of fast food/sandwich chains, I do prefer Subway though. It's second only to Quizno's. Mmmmmmm . . . toasty.

I hate jared and refuse to eat there until they stop using him

I hate Jared and refuse to eat there even if they DO stop using him.

Born right the first time.

Every time I eat subway the food is really good, but the next day I have the shits. I have noticed it over the course of a year. I the food is good, but having to shit it out the next day sucks.

I hate Subway. In my hometown there are a couple of other sub shops. I'll eat at these other places because, simply put, their subs are so much better.

Also because I hate that Jared guy, or whatever his name is.

I think it all depends on the location.

I know of several people that got sick from eating at Subway and the food is lame (you don't get much for the high price you pay).

But the Subway store in my town is very good and clean - we go there at least once a month and it was always been good, with no strange after effects.

I still think Subway sucks overall, compared to a real deli sandwich store.
