Â* There was a Subway franchise store in Memphis that was shorting on
the makin's , got a lot of complaints apparently . They pulled their
franchise and somebody else opened another . Better product , and the
employees had a lot better attitude . Other than that one store , I've
never had a "bad" sandwich from Subway . The store here where we live
makes a great sandwich and we go there fairly often . We figger lunch
for two for less than 20 bucks isn't all that expensive - my favorite
restaurant is usually around 22-25 bucks for lunch including tip but
it's not a fast food outlet but a down-home sit-down place . They also
have the best sweet tea ...
