I understand the frustration but Subway has way bigger problems than the cut of their bread. Remember when Quiznos used to be better than Subway? Now I can barely tell their sandwiches apart. Race to the bottom... can't stand it. At least I have Ike's Place. Wish there was one on every corner.

It's more than just the cut really. Subway used to be good sandwiches. Something terrible has happened since then. Explosive expansion.

[linko9]

Dude, I totally forgot about this until I saw this topic. You're completely right, the wedge cut was where it was at.

[weekend_warrior]

stealth circumcision thread?

[_Isaac]

The new cut looks better. Look at all that meat! The old cut looks too bready.

[Xeke]

No Subway looks like this anymore.



And it's sad.

I wish they did. At least they still smell amazing.

All our Subways must be throwback. Or too cheap to redecorate. Maybe it's the latter...

Just noticed that. Hahahaha you really care about this stuff don't you? No hate, i just put all my focus on the food when I'm there.

[DominoKid]

New cut is awesome. You guys are just sloppy eaters.

[CTE]

Every Subway smells like a pickle and onion sandwich. That would suck to prep all that. You would always have onion stank on your hands. Going around smelling like sandwiches.

[onlyindreams]

Where you have been? Even my podunk town has a subway with a drive-thru.

I've never seen one. The hell!

[krameriffic]

Subway is to sandwiches what Dominoes is to pizza. Go to a real deli if you want a sandwich.

I would love to, but not everybody lives near "a real deli". This is a common problem for people who live in the suburbs and not in a city. Cities are packed to the gills with good local restaurants (as opposed to generic shit chains) but I'm not driving 20 miles to get a sandwich.

[Iceman]

I don't even consider going to subway anymore for this reason alone.

[Canuck76]

I've never seen one. The hell!

I've lived in Canada and three seperate regions in the United States and know the northwest like the back of my hand.

Never have i seen a Subway with a drive-thru

[windowlurker]

im so confused

[Lionel Mandrake]

You know what sucks about living in the south?.... Or... You know one of the things that sucks about living in the south?

I can't find a decent pastrami sandwich to save my life. I went with my family to NYC, and we stop in this little deli. I get a pastrami sandwich, and my life was changed. It was beautiful. So juicy, so full of flavor. I've tried everywhere around here but it just isn't as good. I went down to Miami, and by-chance ended up in a sandwich shop there. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and it rocked my mind. New York and Miami both know how to make them, why can't anybody in between?

It makes sense when you go the country and the meat tastes better. It's because the cows live right next door. That hamburger you're eating was chompin' on grass like five minutes before you got there. It's fresh. That's logic. So why is it, that the pastrami sandwich can only be accomplished in a metropolis? Was it decreed at some point? Was the deal, "We get clean air and you guys get good sandwiches?" If that was the arrangement, we got goddamn fleeced. Good pastrami is better than oxygen. It doesn't seem like it should be that complicated to make one. You got pastrami and you got bread and your what-nots somewhere between them. It shouldn't take a 4 year college education to get that right.

Pretty sure the one 5 mins away from my house does.

Every subway around here still looks like shit, none of them have gotten the remodels that the McDonalds all have.

[Vilam]

Agreed.

Bring back proper cheese placement while you're at it; don't tell me this doesn't bother anyone else? It's shaped like a triangle, each piece is supposed to be rotated to lock together perfectly you lazy Subway employee.

/\\//\\/

NOT

/\/\/\/\

Bring back the Subway wallpaper (it used to fascinate me as a kid) and the stamps as well.

[SyNapSe]

Old Cut was superior but I think it took longer and they probably actually had to train the people on how to do it.

I thought the old Subway wallpaper was great. It was part of their identity but now they just have bland white painted walls.

That guy from the article issuper angry about the gourmet breads.

[bro1]

it's not a SUB, it's a Hoagie. And they are best eaten at 2am on the way home from the bar at WaWa's.

[ThoseDeafMutes]

My local Subway does.

[Salvadora]

I don't think I've ever had the old cut.

[Osaka]

Our Subways still have stamps!

[big_z]

if you want to know why the old cut is gone and other subway facts watch this minecraft video, they talk about a lot of stuff subway. starts at 8 minutes into the video.

http://youtu.be/-4Vjky1xwXs

yes i know minecraft but some of the players are die hard subway fans or employees

[JGS]

Ah old school Subway. I remember when they delivered.

[Nevasleep]

I prefer the deli sandwiches from McDonalds now. Freshly made to order.
Only £1.99, depending on the 'deli of the day'. Sweet chilli chicken on Thurs and Sat being my favourite.

[Visualante2]

Q. Why no sweetcorn?

A. Due to the recession we had to cut costs, it was decided that sweetcorn was unneeded in Subway and by doing so each store saves £3000 nationwide. This means we don't have to fire any staff.

Wish I hadn't bothered asking. :I Subway is way overpriced. I only get it when it is convenient.

[UnluckyKate]

Expect the bench, it still looks like that in Paris

I am expecting the bench, don't worry.

I live in London and the subway near me has sweetcorn...

[TheSeks]

Eh, I just get flatbreads now a days. I haven't had issues of stuff "falling out," too much because it's like a burrito. *shrug*

Also I remember the old cut and while it has the advantage of stuff not falling out, it also was awkward to hold" the cut out piece of bread on top of the sub because they had to make the bread huge. That's most peoples issue with it I think.

[Blutonium]

So eat it like this then.

[FyreWulff]

I understand the frustration but Subway has way bigger problems than the cut of their bread. Remember when Quiznos used to be better than Subway? Now I can barely tell their sandwiches apart. Race to the bottom... can't stand it. At least I have Ike's Place. Wish there was one on every corner.

Quiznos was done for me when they had their little bitchfit and dropped Coke from their stores. Because they had Vanilla Coke on the fountain. It was like glorious Nirvana. Then they all switched to Pepsi, and while I have nothing against Pepsi, they took my fucking Vanilla Coke-from-the-fountain away.

Also, whatever recipe Subway used for their bread in the pre-5$ footlong days made it taste like crap. Whatever they switched to probably saved them from being forgotten.

[canoli2006]

Couldn't asking for "old cut" or "new cut" be something of an option when first ordering a sandwich from Subway? I think it would make customers happy to give them a choice along with kind of bread and 6 inch or footlong.

[ThoseDeafMutes]

The point of the switch was (apparently) to save time when making the sandwiches and to make it easier to train people. Providing the option would be better for the consumer, but would defeat the purpose of the switch from their business perspective.

[Chairman Yang]

Subway kind of sucks but I still eat there at least once a week. Trying to figure out what sorcery they employ to keep bringing me back.

Why does it suck? It's a store that puts some standard toppings on bread. There's not much they can do to screw it up.

[itwasTuesday]

Yes I agree.

But Jersey Mikes is the new kid in my town for fast food subs. Sorry Subway.

[snacknuts]

As long as Jimmie John's is around, I couldn't care less what happens at Subway.

[sprsk]

You used to be able to request the "u-cut" style bread, can you not do that anymore?

[thcsquad]

If you like half of the sandwich shooting out on the wrapper. Old cut. New cut.

If you have half a brain, this isn't a problem. I just angle it a bit and eat the 'topping' side for any given bite before the 'bread' side. And hold it together at the bottom like you do a burrito.

With that said, the old cut is nice and that's generally how I cut them when making them myself.

[Alligatorjandro]

Subway needs moar meat and less lettuce.

[Bumblebeetuna]

Subway drive thru sounds glorious.

[Ratba]

Tell them to bring the meatball sub to Japan. I've been here 4 fucking years without one. 4 YEARS!

[BigDes]

I have never even seen them cut the bread like that

Every subway I've ever been in has cut it the 'new' way

[ReBurn]

Some of the new breads seem to be too thin for the old cut. Only Italian (formerly known as white) and wheat really stand up to the challenge. I would like a hoagie sandwich now.

[shuri]

I hate the smell of Subway. Everytime I eat there, I end up feeling like I've spent my time there rubbing their sandwiches all over my clothes, its awful. They used to be awesome in the '90, but something changed, now everything taste the same.
