I wasn't expecting much. I was hoping for something that tasted good. I
was hungry and my co-worker chose Subway. I got shit. I can live with no
Whiz and grilled onions no problem. But why sell a "cheese steak sandwich"
that has no cheese and no steak? The "steak" looked like something I feed
to my cats. I will NEVER buy another Subway ever again. I mean even the
bread was CRAP. How badly do you suck when your fresh baked bread isn't fit
for pigeons?
