How in God's name does Subway still exist with Quiznos around? - General

The Quizno's near me closed after like a month, Subway on the other hand has been open for years. So apparently they're not so mighty.

[QUOTE=Mazakrov;24175651]They were awesome [b]when I lived in California.[/b][/QUOTE] Well, that explains why I've never seen or heard of one here in Texas.

I like quiznos a bit better than subway but I have to go downtown to actually find one

Thanks guys, now I'm hungry. In regard to the thread title, I see no reason as to why one should exist and the other shouldn't.

I fucking love Subway.

Subway got me some piss nasty nachos once. Quiznos has gay commercials (Stick your toasty torpedo inside me)

Subway melts w/ ranch, man.

[QUOTE=Inacio;24176123]Judging food by how far it is / nationality of the employees Great[/QUOTE] Yes, do you want shit thats really close to work, or really far away? I take in factor how good it is, the price to quantity, and the distance. The nationality of its employees doesn't bother me. I simply stated that they talked too fast, spoke poor english whilst talking too fast, and fucking up the order. Understand? Great.

[QUOTE=_Junkie_;24172267]Afraid of being physically assaulted for expressing my opinion, this thread is now a Subway v Quiznos debate thread.[/QUOTE] I work at Quiznos and although all the ingredients are great, I do prefer the meatballs at subway more, but only the meatballs. Quiznos does use higher quality meat and from what I've seen working at the Quiznos here, it's all very clean, sanitary, and healthy. Everything is ordered from it's respective countries so you are getting the real deal. We even order all the way from Peru, and we have special deals with companies that only serve to Quiznos. I don't mind Subway, but from what I've seen of both, Quiznos is the better choice, and yes, I USED to be a Subway's fan before I worked at Quiznos. It's all preference however. I'd say Quiznos is healthier though, and no, we have more than lettuce. (Sauteed Onions, Red Onions, Olives, Mushrooms, Pickled Jalapenos, Pepperocinis, Pickles, Lettuce, Tomatoes)

The subway I always went to after guitar lessons/band practice closed down and it got replaced with some shitty sandwich works joint :mad:. I just use the local convenience store. Their subs aren't too bad. [editline]09:21PM[/editline] Fuck I want a sub right now.

It's all about preference.

[QUOTE=16bit;24175924]Subway 5$ footlong with soda, around 6 7 dollars. Quzinno's large sandwich with soda, 12-13.[/QUOTE] A large sandwich at Quiznos is 5 dollars... Not to mention they have those pick 2 deals, like the salad and torpedo, etc.

Quiznos does not have either a Meatball Marinara OR a Pizza sub. They also only have one or two types of bread, AND they don't ask you how you want your sub they just make it one way and expect you to contradict them. (I ordered a Roast Beef from there once, the stupid server didn't even ask what I wanted on it she just immediately slathered it in some nasty mayo crap. I mean what the hell.) In my opinion: Firehouse Subs > Subway > Quiznos Firehouse has THE best Meatball subs, plus they serve fresh brownies and always have Vault on tap.

I've only had Quiznos once. BRING ON THE SUBWAY

[QUOTE=sonicrjk;24176699]:science:[/QUOTE] what

I went to Quizos once when I was in Florida. I walked out empty handed after I found out they wanted $8 or $9 for a sandwich.

Serves Meatball Marinara 3. Puts anything you want on the sub 4. Has a wide variety of toppings

Our meat costs a lot of money so off a $5 large sub, we don't make much money. Subway uses cheaper ingredients so you can change a lot of things on it, but they also use less meat and more vegetables. Subs do come with a certain sauce and you do have to request to have it changed, but unless it's one of the 5 value subs ($5 larges), then you can have it changed for free. Employees are supposed to ask if you want anything apart from the basic meat and cheese on it (Tomatoes, Onions, Olives, Mushrooms, Guacamole, etc.) We used to have a Pizza sub but it's no longer on the menu. I'm not sure if we can still make it, but we do make a lot of archived subs, like the BBQ Chicken Smokehouse. Our store is also fairly lenient towards making your own subs, some regulars have their own sub that they buy, and they've been coming in for years. We make our subs a certain way though because they are priced because of that. Prime Rib is expensive, along with beef, whereas something like Ham is cheap, so the Ham & Swiss is only $5 for a 12". There is a reason for everything, we don't make our subs a certain way because we "choose to", it's so we make a profit.

I like both. The French dip sandwich at Quizno's is great and the steak and cheese with chipotle sauce at Subway is always good.

Never really tried Quiznos, but I love Subway for it's chicken teriyaki subways. Also I'm cool with the cashiers at the one near my school so I get free stuff sometimes.

[QUOTE=Telepethi;24176893] They never ask me anything at Quiznoes aside from what sub do I want. The servers don't give me TIME to request something NOT be put on it.[/QUOTE] Wow, you're telling me that, within the time of you ordering, them taking the bread, them cutting the bread, them weighing the meat, them putting on the meat, them putting on the cheese, you were physically unable to ask for anything. Damn, that is some quick service. And yeah, I guess Subway is customer > profit, if settling for low grade meat is having the customer in mind.

[QUOTE=Telepethi;24176893]:words:[/QUOTE] You have a weird quiznos then. We always ask if you want tomatoes, olives, onions, mushrooms, etc. Our boss gets so pissed off if we don't. Also, you don't get to choose every single topping that goes on because of the pricing. Also, it's not that we care more about profit. It's that if we changed how we did business, we wouldn't make a profit at all. We don't have a huge mark-up on our food, so if we change around a bunch of stuff, we start losing money (Hence why we don't offer the 5-meat stack anymore). Also, subs that aren't "on the menu" do often still exist. We can't have a limitless menu, but we do still make subs that aren't on the menu. Try asking for a BBQ Chicken Smokehouse next time. not on the menu, but still a make-able and delicious sub. P.S: You didn't talk about profit but I'm saying the profit is the reason our subs are different from subway. We make subs a set-way so that we can make a profit. If we switch the turkey and ham to have all turkey, we lose money.

It doesn't say on the menu "comes with weird mayo shit" so I figured it would be meat and cheese unless I asked otherwise. I mean what the hell who puts mayo on a roast beef? That's nasty. And as for Subway having low grade meat, haha, no. That's ignorant.

Subway and Quiznos both suck. They use that flimsy kind of bread, and it's weird. Over here subs are made on this nice, like 'hard' rolls, apparently a lot of places they can't be baked though cus of altitude. In summary, both suck, local stores are 10x better.

If I don't see something on the menu, I'm not going to ask if it exists because chances are it doesn't and I end up making an ass of myself.

The only thing I can think of is our Beef Bacon Chedder Torpedo/Bullet comes with Mayo, although it usually comes with Horseradish and we only put mayo on if they don't want Horseradish. Our Beef & Swiss Melt comes with Garlic Dressing + Parmesan Alfredo sauce (The Garlic gets rubbed into the bread to make garlic bread). I'm sorry if someone at that Quiznos messed up, but I've never heard of a Beef sub coming with Mayo. All our ingredients are listed on our menus and our catering menus. If they ever put something on that's not listed, refuse it and ask for a new one.

Flimsy? No. It's soft and delicious. Why would you want your sub on something hard? I've had those 'hard' subs before it's like chewing on cardboard. Euch.

I've never tried Quizno's. There's barely any around, why go there when I have a Subway around the block.
