Does this mark their move away from using legally-defined meat? Is it now soy/bug sandwich slices?

>>18896682
>legally-defined meat
you will eat the meat-lite paste and you will enjoy it

they recently remodeled one near me, and there's a deli meat slicer thing within customer view now. looked brand new.

>>18896687
How many Subway employees will lose a finger on that thing? They're usually not the brightest.

>>18896687
kek
Subway will never lose its reputation as the cheapest, most disgusting fast food option available. Expect massive closures in a year and defunct by 2025.

>>18896687
I've seen how nasty those slicers get in grocery store delis. I can only imagine how filthy and crusted with rotting shreds of meat it would get after a few days being operated by subway pajeets.

smaller sandwich shops are usually better

How tf did subway win against quiznos?

>>18897066
They copied the "toasted sub" meme while also having more variety, more types of items, and lower price point. Quiznos was like the "better" Subway for a while but it became pointless when subway started toasting.

>>18897066
Jared raped the competition

>>18897066
Quiznos killed itself by fucking over the owners of the franchises extracting so much money out of their operations they couldn't stay afloat

>>18896670
Pre slicing meat doesn't make a sandwich better
Not having pajeets and niggers make your food makes a sandwich better.
Also death to israel

>>18896670
I had subway yesterday for the first time in 1-2 years because the quality has been so shit. It was fresh as fuck and really good, better than I remember subway ever being. They must have hired a crew of business gurus to turn their failing franchise around because that shit was yummy.

>>18897172
Same here. I hadn't eaten at Subway for years, but then I remembered all of the product placement in Happy Gilmore and I decided to give it another shot. Wow. It was probably the most delicious sandwich I've had in years. It made me feel like a better man after eating it. It really is amazing what you can do with freshly baked bread and succulent deli meats sliced on-site. I think I would have paid twice what they were asking, but thankfully I didn't have to!

>>18897066
Quiznos ran all their franchisee's into the ground by forcing them to pay ridiculous mark up on everything as the exclusive supplier for every thing a Quiznos needs to operate down to the fucking toilet paper and paper towels.

>>18897073
Quiznos only did toasting because their bread was less fresh. Toasting is a way to disguise old bread.

>me thinking about all the retarded wagies who will be paid $7.25/hour to cut their fingers off

>>18897264
Nah, I have a deli slicer, at best you'd be removing a layer/chunk of skin with one if you deliberately stuck your finger in one. And that is only with the cheap ones you need to push yourself. As long as you are using the tools provided, shit is safe as fuck. They'd be more likely to remove a finger with that little knife they use when making the sandwiches.

The more expensive varieties slice the meat themselves, no worker fingers required.

>>18897081
This.

Meat slicing timing doesn't change the meat quality. Having a proper sandwich maker is far more important.

Bro I would go to subway if they managed to get my order right more than half the time. I order a chicken bacon sandwich online and I pick it up and there's no bacon. I order online again a couple weeks later and the shit's not ready at pick-up time even though I put in the order an hour ago. Who gives a fuck if the meat is sliced fresh if they can't even get the fucking orders right?

>>18897492
>i ordered subway online
I literally laughed out loud.

>>18896670
i thought they always cut the meat in the back room
also what are they gonna do now? cut it infront of you? thats time consuming, its supposed to be fast food

I haven't eaten at subway in 3 years and have no plans to start again.

>>18897499
If you order online they have a coupon that'll give you five dollars off a footlong meal. Which theoretically is a great deal if they would get the order right.

>>18897264
I'm sure there's a deli slicer out there that is retard proof unless they deliberately jam their fingers into it

>>18897066
Yep this >>18897080
Quiznos subs were so much better, but the backend logistics were fucked (which also made them more expensive).

>>18896670
Remember when people threw a fuss over 40% chicken

>>18897066

Quiznos literally used RATS as their mascot in their advertising, I never set foot in one after seeing their ads.

>>18897212

I'll never understand all the hate subway gets. Yeah it's a low-quality-low-price chain restaurant, but you get what you pay for there like you do everywhere. Subway isn't fashionable so there's no hipster tax which actually gets you better value than average for your dollar. And frankly the food is just fine. It's not as good as Jersey Mike's obviously but it's literally half the price for the same amount of food. And you get more of a sugar/MSG hit in the cheaper ingredients which is sometimes exactly what you need. Saying subway is "bad" compared to upscale or mom&pop sandwich restaurants is like saying porn is "bad" compared to fine arts. Like they're just incomparable products that satisfy different needs.

>>18897060
it's crack addicts here

>>18896670
This is a game changer.

>>18897777
They're usually pretty good at cleaning if they aren't nodding off

>>18897066
pretty sure quiznos was a pyramid scheme

>>18896682
>Does this mark their move away from using legally-defined meat?
They already sell you turkey and beef instead of pork in some of them without labelling it properly

>>18896670
>Subway
>restaurant

LOL

I live on an overseas military base and these fuckers still don't have roast beef.

>>18897251
toasting is a way to get goyim to pay the goy tax. coldfood and hot food are classified different for tax purposes. many welfare systems make a distinction between hot and cold food as well.

>>18897066
Subway didn't win quiznos committed suicide because they were too good to exist in this cold hard world.

>>18896670
Are they just going to be slicing up those meatloaf like things that are a bunch of turkey/ham/whatever melded together to make sandwich meat?

>>18899073
Many welfare systems? USA has the only food stamp program I know of. When it gets trialled anywhere else they always conclude that it's too exploitable and demoralising for the cost of the extra regulation.

>>18896670
only reasons subway even still exists is cuz
>their only competition is gas stations selling $9 shitty pre-made sandwiches you could make at home
>$5 footlongs, making it the 2nd cheapest fast food for volume only behind dominos $5 large pizzas

In the deep freeze of January 2019, the brave men of subway across the street from my apartment kept me fed and provisioned for three days when food had run out. I am in debt to their service and am being to repay them if the opportunity ever arises.

>>18897172
>>18897212
Well I gave Subway a chance and the staff was extremely rude. They gave me the middle finger as soon as I came into their (frankly dilapidated) restaurant. And when I came up to order, the sandwich artist began to pound his chest and bark "what now bitch?" over and over again.
I tried to tell him that I need a couple of minutes to review their menu before ordering, but he began to jump up and down and hooting. This prompted the other 4 staff to emerge from the back and join him in pounding their chests, hooting and jumping in a threatening manner.
I attempted to calm the situation by saying "one six inch meatball sub, please". All this did was enrage the feral Subway staff. They began to holler "meatball please" in a cruel and mocking tone, over and over again, relentlessly jumping and menacing.
I began to fear for my safety and said "I'm sorry for offending you, have a nice day". When I attempted to leave, the pack of feral Subway employees escalated their intimidating display. It was fortunate that I was the only customer there, because they leapt over the counter and began to jump onto the tables, tipping chairs, hanging off the lighting fixtures, and generally acting in an unprofessional manner. Their chaotic animalistic hollering beset me from all sides.
I attempted to sprint for the door when I felt a warm mass hit me on the temple. I looked down and saw that the projectile was an a six inch meatball sub. I picked it up and took a bite. I was not pleased with this product.
At once, the Subway employees began to pelt me with six inch meat ball subs. I made a dash for the door and escaped only mildly scathed.

It was at that point that I went to my local, tried-and-true, reliable, and ALWAYS satisfactory Arby's restaurant. I was treated to a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which helped me forget about my Subway "experience". Not to mention, I was served food worth enjoying.

>>18896670
there is literally no way this doesn't kill 60% of subway restaurants
they have over expanded to the point where there are more subways than McDonald's in the US.
as opposed to McDonald's they do not control the real estate market and they need to make all their profits from sandwich sales/new franchises
how long before this flopping fish is dead in the water?

>>18899481
Similar experience here. I tried the much-touted Subway roast beef sub. Supposedly, according to social media posts that were "totally genuine and not paid-for marketing", it was a good fast food item enjoyed by many.
I ordered the sandwich and received what appeared to be a disheveled wad of paper, perhaps something to toss in the refuse bin. However, I was assured that my supposedly tasty treat was inside.
I followed the instructions and, upon removing the many layers of questionable wrapping material, was met with what appeared to be a "food-related item" that suffered a tumble down a set of stairs before being stomped under a steel toe boot.
Now, I'm not one to decry fast food presentation differing from advertisements, they all do it. But this seemed to be crossing the line. Nevertheless, I knew that presentation wasn't everything, so I carried on. I picked up the scrambled mass and, upon bringing it to my mouth, was hit with a pungent aroma that seemed to seat itself in the back of my sinus. Tears welled in my eyes as I opened my mouth and took my first (and only) bite. I tasted nothing upon entry. I tasted nothing upon the first bite of the chew. I chewed thrice more before "flavor" made itself known. It was not a welcome one. I have never had the displeasure of chewing on an old dishrag that had been dropped and forgotten behind a restaurant dishwasher, but this must have been its closest "edible" imitation.
I let the chewed mass fall from my mouth, back into the so-called "wrapper", letting it dribble upon the supposed "sandwich". I went to the nearest drug store and bought mouth wash - it took 5 cycles to rinse out the taste. Unfortunately, the pungent aroma that had seated itself in my sinus would persist for hours.

It was not until I stopped at my local Arby's restaurant and ordered a Roast Beef Sandwich that I had would have a sandwich worthy of the day. And a much-enjoyed one, at that. I highly recommend everyone try Arby's Roast Beef.

>>18897060
My subway is worked by cute college white girlAsolutely Fucking terrible at taking an order so I just use the website.

I miss it so fucking much it's unreal bros.

>>18899177
Here in Sweden it's the "best bang for your bucks" if you want fast food. Shit like Burger King or McDonalds is just stupid expensive now, but if you take a footlong sub with double meat you get a lot of food for the money and it taste better than the rest of the fast food shit.

>>18897240
I thought jersey mike's gimmick was slice-to-order though

>>18899532
blimpie was never as good as subway
the real place to miss was quiznos.
subway never toasted there sandwiches until quiznos made toasting the new meta.

>>18899487
that's not how franchising works

>>18899564
Quiznos was always shit, Blimpie was the best national chain what the fuck are you smoking? The irrefutable proof is that Blimpie was the last one to resort to microwaving meat before they shriveled away. Before that they had hot meat, including roast beef in jus.

>>18899073
i don't know of a single restaurant that actually tracks cold vs hot sales which you have to do to claim a tax exemption on cold food. it also can't include anything else that is taxable like a drink. if you go to subway you're paying the tax regardless which means you're ripping yourself off by not getting it toasted.

does anyone else's subway use those stupid rectangle scoops that don't even come close to the ends of the sandwich? Like obviously the idea is that the scoop is the shape of the sub so they can dish out the meat faster without spreading it, but I get a chicken teriyaki sub and they slop it all in a blob in the middle of the fucking sub, there's like a solid 2 inches at least with no meat on at either end of the sub, it pisses me off. Apparently they're not supposed to spread the meat after it's on the sub too which is fucking retarded, one of the subways I go to will do it if I ask but the other one says they can't.

>>18896670
>/ck/ doesn't know that slicers have been retard proofed for years

even you faggots can use those things and not die of a deadly infection. unfortunately.

>>18896687
>>18897060
New slicers are pretty retard proof, at least when it comes to using them. You have to know what you're doing to hurt yourself on one.

Now CLEANING them on the other hand, I can't say I trust the subwagies to actually keep them clean.

>>18898299
Don't lie.

>>18896670
Blimpie slices their meat

>>18897063
all franchise chains are garbage by default for obvious reasons. the only one who wins is the CEO who gets to be a billionaire. customers get the cheapest ingredients that are available and the poor souls that work minimum wage are not exactly motivated to make decent food for you.

if it's not family owned it's gonna be trash food. this is true 100% of the time

>>18897264
Literally, the first thing I thought about when reading the OP.

>>18897305
>>18897589
>I'm sure there's a deli slicer out there that is retard proof unless they deliberately jam their fingers into it
I hope so. Engineered passive safety is the only haven for indifferent management, a low-paid and understaffed workforce. I don't to start reading about a surge in ER lacerations and amputations in the next year or two.

I love a nice subway roast beef sub with cheddar, toasted, assorted veg / pickles / olives / ranch dressing
so fucking good
I guess I know what I'm eating tomorrow

What does that mean, pre- to what?
Surely they're not going to only start slicing it up right before putting it on the bread, are they? What a huge time waste that would be

>>18899716
They have retards at grocery store delis operating these things. I'm sure subway retards will be fine.

>>18899812
yeah, they're gonna Jersey Mike's it
as a former subway employee it's gonna be a shit fest

Can you all recommend a slicer for home? I've been eyeing a KWS or Beswood 10" all day

>>18901331
ok Kramer

>>18901342
I've been cooking my own deli meat.
I figure I can also use it for bulk cheese, condiments, and for jerky and Philly cheese steaks ...
It'd pay for itself. Chicken boobs are $2/lb while chicken lunch meat is $10/lb

>>18901331
>Can you all recommend a slicer for home?
Yeah, it's called a chef's knife.

>>18901404
I'm cooking for a family of 5. Buying in bulk for the next 2 decades is really starting to make economical sense.
I was watching how to make pastrami. So simple, yet a slicer is what would take it over the top.
https://youtu.be/RHwwh6jcOKM?t=1053

>>18897045
My first thought.

>>18901331
Get a gravity one. Get a good brand like Berkel, small diameter blade (size of the blade decides a lot of the cost and it's irrelevant at home). Look at second hand/auction sites and be quick, professional butchers are hawking them 24/7 for good reason, these things last decades.

Don't buy cheap garbage though. Your meats will come out shrivelled, your onions soggy, your cheeses mushy and torn. They're hell to clean and a recipe for accidents.

>>18901482
I've torn up the meat cooking forums, there seem to be 3 camps
>Get a cheap plastic one - easy to clean and doesn't take up space
>Get a 12", 70lb Hobart or Globe and let it live rent free on 3ft of counterspace. Only plebs get a 10" since it can't do a full cut on bacon
And where I'm setting
>10" 30lb middle ground
Maybe I'll try to keep an eye out for a small Berkel, Bizerba, Globe, etc. There's a Berkel 827A for sale for the same price as that Chinese screenshot a few hours away.

>>18901342
Off topic but shows on TV just aren't funny anymore.

>>18899605
This. Worked at Publix deli and cleaned many a slicer, and I loved doing it, scraping the cheese off the blade was satisfying. Would not expect everyone to have a liking to cleaning, glad I never went to Subway anyway.

>>18896670
I have never once in my life eaten anything at subway that tasted any better than the absolute worst, most low quality version of whatever that thing was in my life.

>>18899700
>this
Franchise chains don't exist for quality, they exist for convenience. Go to a locally owned place if you want real quality food because you won't find it at a big franchise.

>>18901416
>pay twice as much to avoid doing a fuck ton of work (which requires an investment in tools first) and not running a huge risk of spoilage if you don't eat it fast enough
Sounds like a pretty fair deal

>>18902093
>family-owned
>locally owned
LOL as if
if they're white they're always chuds, if they're not white, they overwork the staff

>>18897264
Jersey Mike's has been using deli slicers for a very long time

>>18901416
How often are you going to use it? If it's something you're using once a week or something, you can get them on Amazon for about 130 and they're fine. Not great, but you'll be fine.
If you want to use it a lot, like you're slicing meats for every meal, then you're looking at a commercial deli slice. Those are usually over a thousand. You should go look at them at a restaurant supply store or look at auctions.

They're fun to have. I have a small Amazon one, and it's nice.

>>18899575
I miss blimpies so much. Jersey Mikes and East Coast Subs are decent but it's not the same

>>18902495
>If you want to use it a lot, like you're slicing meats for every meal, then you're looking at a commercial deli slice.
That's my struggle. I've found some used, 10" made in America commercial grade ones in the $300-$600 range.
I have 3 young kids, so I'll be feeding 5 mouths for the next 2 decades and it'd be nice to have one to cut costs on deli meats, cheese, and whatever else I can find. I'd also love to make some pastrami.
My struggle is
>size: I don't have a huge house
>something that's going to last
If it's 2 or 3 $50 slicers in the next 20 years, so be it.
If it's a $500 large slicer that'll save me $5,000, so be it.
I know enough to know I don't know which to pick.

>>18899177
>$5 footlongs
Must be nice still living in 2004. They're $6.79 footlongs for the most basic ones like Cold Cut Combo.

>>18901416
That's pre-packaged. If you just order a pound of sliced meat from the deli it will cost about the same as the whole turkey per pound. I have no idea why you would order pre-sliced and packaged meat anyway.

>>18902674
Are you in the US? If I go to the Kroger deli, it's 2X more for Boar's Head bullshit.

>>18899532

>>18899532
Used to have one of these on campus in college. It was pretty good, but that was 20 years ago. Haven't seen one since.

>>18899567
you absolute retard
explain to me how it's any different than to what I said

>>18899618
Nah, go to your local Walmart and look at something like an Oscar-Meyer "Sub kit" that has Ham/Salami/Etc. It's 'Turkey' Salami and shit like that. Kinda like those canned tomatoes that are "San Marzano STYLE" (a.k.a not actual San Marzano, but we put the 'style' in there so we're legally allowed to sell you something totally different lol) Knowing subway they'd totally sell Oscar Meyer "Turkey Style" ham/salami/whatever.

>>18899580
Papa Murphys' entire business model literally revolves around them making uncooked pizzas so it makes it accessible to people with EBT/SNAP. They even have an option for them to cook it on spot for an extra free. Are you retarded or just never left your state?

>>18903110
They don't lose anything by slicing meat on the premises.

>>18902615
I'd say get the home one and just pre cut your meat ahead of time with it. Then go and get a commercial one later if you end up thinking you need it.

>>18897754
When I worked in the coty it was cheaper to just go to a deli and get a turkey sandwich on a hero with boar's head meat than to go to subway and get whatever slop they serve there. The subway was a block closer so I ended up going there a lot anyway when there was construction along that street

Deli slicers are great I wish I still had one. Good ones are just expensive and they take up a lot of space.

>>18896670
Subway is worthless if you live near a real sandwich deli restaurant. I have one that's on the same shopping center as the Subway, but the deli has way more sandwich variety than fucking Subway. It's great.

>>18896670
Fucking hate subway somehow out of all sandwhich places subway manages to make me sick 70% of the time

>>18903550
Btw but that’s Brilliant
They targeted their niche market successfully

>>18903811
It's logistically more expensive to ship and stock pre-sliced meats.

>>18897066

>>18897045
It's okay, they'll all be too smacked to notice.

have some subway subs stocked in the fridge... thread makes me wanna go eat em..... but it's late at night and that would ruin my sleep.....
may I be strong

>>18904566
Damn I want one

do you guys tip your subway employees?
I went for a sandwich the other day, hadn't been in years, and when I was paying I was asked if I wanted to include the tip. what the hell? is this normal now? I've never been asked for a tip from behind a counter

>>18896670
Subway always smells like dank ass indians and pakis, I go for Blimpie when I can find them.

>>18904704
I suspect that they put "seed money" in those tips to make idiots feel guilty and put money in, fuckin' idiots on both sides.

>>18904713
seed money?

>>18904718
Some investor type seeds it with money, usually money laundering, they mostly come out at night, mostly.

I was actually asked to add a percentage to my total

Is the meat sliced to order, or do the managers just have the wagies slice all of the meat at the beginning of the week, so the end result is nothing has changed?

I don't care how low your pay is, if you can't be bothered to not hurt yourself on the job, you deserve to be called "stumpy mcstumphand" for the rest of your life.

>>18902103
You seem retarded. Did you eat too much of the magic nuggets under your parent's sink?

The way to make a deli slicer make sense is to also get a vacuum sealer. We either make our own deli meat, or buy on sale from a restaurant supply place. We slice it and seal it in half pound increments. If you have a good sealer, you can freeze it, and it'll thaw just fine. We do the same with the giant logs of cheese from the restaurant place.

>>18902115
Holy kek, you're literally a fascist.

>>18896670
You're really shilling like a serious bitch. If you want to eat rat leftovers that smell of a NYC subway then yeah go for it you filthy pig. What is appealing about "subway?" It's nasty ass shit that smells like a NYC subway.

>>18907069
I keep a big can of Barkeepers Friend under my parents sink, just in case.

>>18907036
I'm jelly but also I know it won't taste the same as it did in the 1990s.

they're trying to compete with Jersey Mikes who proudly boast that they slice their meats in-house so Subway is just trying to catch up. This is a good step Subway is taking they only need to just make their "bread" better.

>>18907042
I don't think they've even rolled out the change at that store. It's just a brand new unused deli slicer sitting behind the counter in customer view.

>>18907254
Ah, more of an implied thing. Hell, they probably never need to actually use it. People will see it, and assume that the meat in front of them had gone through that machine.

Sounds like Subway is trying to cut costs by having their minimum wage employees slice the meats instead of paying the manufacturers to do it.
Jersey Mike's is hot garbage compared to Subway. I worked at both places, and Subway is better.
But if you want to buy meth or fentanyl blues from the kid making your sandwich, go to Jersey Mike's

>>18899564
still lots of quiznos on the west coast, we love that greasy slop

>>18907370
That’s good to know if I ever get out to the west coast again

The easiest way to turn a sandwich into greasy slop is to add oil to the inside of the bread after everything else has been prepared. Do it too early and everything will fall apart.

>As long as there are niggers goblinos or mudsharks within 100 feet of me your restaurant fundamentally sucks and these tweaks won't save it
You should go to Jimmy John's. Everyone that works there is a junkie. And every employee will be a coalburner, an oildriller, a Black gentleman or lady of color, or a drug addict.

>>18907394
quiznos is the place to be then, niggers hate that place

>>18907404
Either way 100 feet is nothing it'll take 10000+ feet for a restaurant to be scum free. But footlong subs are only 10 inches. So that's 12k footlong subs between me and hell on earth

Say what you will of the singing rats, but they didn't rape any kids.

will that get me drunk

>>18904971
In the case of slicing deli meat, yes.

>>18907688
The factory has an auto-slicer for slicing tons of meat fast. Whereas the restaurant has to pay a wagie $15/h to slice every single piece individually. The shipping of the meat doesn't change, whether sliced or unsliced, it still needs to get shipped from the factory.
So where is the cost savings? It seems that slicing at the store just requires more man-hours from wagies, costing more.

They got rid of the roasted chicken breast patties. It will never be forgotten.

>>18907727
Rotisserie chicken is still an option tho

>>18896670
If its anything like when I worked there this is probably just so they can slice it thinner.

>>18901331
>a slicer for home
don't do this

I prefer fire house more
Or jimmy John
Jersey mike
Publix
Wawa
Anything really

>>18896670
Subway has been terrible for at least a decade now, I doubt this will change much considering how shitty their lettuce has always been.

>>18908700
Fire house is the only one on that list actually better than subway lol

>>18907709
not only that but every single needs to purchase a slicer and then spend hours training EVERY employee in how to use the slicer.
>hurr durr you only need to train the manager how to use the slicer
so the manager is going to make every sandwich?
there is no way this doesn't increase costs at a franchise level leading to initially lower profits and closures

>>18903537
So it has the word "Turkey" on it? Then they're not "not telling you"

>>18896670
last time i went to subway i spent like 80 dollars on 4 sandwiches i could have made for like 5 bucks at home, eating out nowadays is a total scam, for 5 people to eat dinner at olive garden was nearly $200.

Wow anons! You've convinced me, I'm going to stop at Subway (tm) on the way home from work tonight! Can't wait to Eat Fresh (tm)!

>>18904269
I found a used 12" from a closed restaurant for $200. I'm going to hold out for a better brand than Avantco.
>>18908688
Why?
>>18908700
Walmart's closeout subs, 18" for $3 is the same tier as subway.

>>18897641
I thought they were some sort of horrid monkey, like the type with a special extra long finger for picking at its butthole

>>18896670
Subway costs like $13 for a footlong now, why even go there if I can get Publix for $8 instead?

>>18909158
Yes, it seems Subway might be cutting costs on meat slicing on their end and going for cheaper supplier contracts. The cost of processing the meat gets passed down to AND increased at the restaurant, which the franchise owner has to pay, not Subway. Seems like this is one of the last killing blows to the company as the current heads try a last ditch measure to stay afloat. It won't work if suddenly franchisees start closing down due to unreasonable expenses.

I miss that sweaty Italian guy that ran subway right
the death of him killed subway

Classic blunder!

Anon, LERN 2 ALTCODE
Then, DON'T abuse it.
™ = Alt + 0153

>>18903762
nta but where do you live

>>18909825
Yepp. Subway will claim this is a good idea because of the "muh fresh cut meat" meme

>>18911547
do you just memorize it or do you ask chatgpt each time

>>18911733
Are you even remotely serious?
If you can't keep 7-10 alt codes committed to memory...

which 10 do i memorize?
also when I hold down alt and press a number it goes to that number of tab

>>18911442
Yeah well then explain McDonald's.

>>18911822
Is this some kinda test to see how helpful I am?
>Make sure NUM LOCK is ON
>USE NUMPAD on right of key board
>Keep ALT pressed until full code is entered
>Sweet release
Certainly the Alt codes you want are personal--There are several places that a cursory search for "ALT CODES" will turn up a good list.
t. this isn't even on par with Script -kiddie shits
If you stil fail, perhaps you could figure out Left click right click?

I never got how subway even survives as a company let alone makes money. The sandwiches are shitty and not fresh. They are totally mediocre. Every half assed homemade sandwich is better and its easy af to make so I simply dont get it

>>18912997
>never got how subway even survives as a company let alone makes money.
very minimal overhead costs result in very low break even sales. Think about what a subway store was in the 90s vs what it was in the 00-10s vs now and then add on the current trajectory
they keep increasing franchisee costs and oversaturating the market to where subways are competing with each other

>>18902115
Thing is it doesn't matter how nice you want to be, you HAVE to treat your employees as badly as possible and pay them as low as you can get away with because your competition sure will, and competition is at its absolute max in the independent restaurant business. That's the actual problem with capitalism, classic Moloch. I guess it at least works out alright for the consumer though.
