Lol truuuu.
To be honest why not make these at home? A cold cut sandwich is the most basic sandwich

>>17061973
Next you'll be asking why you can't cut meat for yourself.

>>17061973
I'm christmas shopping bro

>at subway
>300lb hamplanet gets pissed off that I'm making her do some work while she's busy texting some cuck.
>order three footlong lobster subs (its a seasonal thing here)
>Extra Everything
>just say i change my mind and leave as im going to pay

Subway has gone to shit in recent years. Last saving grace was the $5 footlong promo.

>>17061958
Subway sucks.

for me, it's the BLIMPIE best

>>17061973
I don’t have a sandwich shop, subway or otherwise, in my fucking house, you faggot ass retard autist.
So if I’m entertaining the idea of purchasing a fucking sandwich, I’m clearly not at home where I can make one myself, don’t feel like waiting until I am home, and didn’t bring a just-in-case sandwich which I made at home earlier before I went out to do shit.

>>17061986
this didn't happen

Chill out dawg

>>17061986
Fuck of leaf

>>17061958
>used to work at subway
>some faggot always got cold cut toasted, then no sauce, just lettuce and tomato
>got it every single time they came in which was at least twice weekly
>get free employee subs so give it a go
It was actually pretty good. Tasted like a hotdog, which makes sense.

>>17061958
if you weren't below ground then the joke's on you, buddy.

>>17061996
Blimpie is actually great. It took me forever to try it, since it's been across the street from Schlotzky's in my town forever.

It's not anywhere near good as Scholotzky's, but it's like a better version of Subway - their pink vinagrette sauce stuff is actually really good.

why not ask to toast it before putting the meat on?

the subway sandwich artist is required to ask you that as part of a corporate-crafted spiel. it doesn't matter what's on the sandwich, they must always ask, no exceptions.
been like 10 years since I worked at a subway so I'm not sure what the current spiel is exactly but they still have one and so does every other fast food place.
most of my customers wanted their meat and cheese toasted with the bread, like a melt. almost no one ever just wanted the bread toasted by itself...

>at subway
there was your first mistake

>>17061958
>turkey bologna
>turkey ham
>turkey salami
why the fuck bother with the distinction if its all the same shit? just layer it up with plain turkey breast then. cheap bastards, this is why no one goes to their shops anymore and their latest ads reek of desperation

for me? its a foot long meatball marinara with pickles, red onions and chipotle sauce.

>>17062352
also i musg specify its on italian bread not toasted.

>>17061958
i shit on subway a lot but back in like 2013 when they first got into the breakfast game, i was addicted to picrel.
>double bacon
>yellow egg
>spinach
>tomato
>red onion
>black pepper
>southwest sauce
i probably ate two or three of them a week for over a year because they were shilling the footlong for 6 inch prices at that time, so its was like $3 for this surprisingly tasty sucker. Good times.

>Put your order in boys

>>17062175
Publix deli best deli, even the premade sandwiches are gud

>>17061958
>>17062022
It's probably the version for Arabic/SEA Muslim countries. Google seems to say it's from Subway in Singapore, where there's a surprisingly sizeable Islamic population.
For whatever, kosher Subways never really caught on and Israel is one of the few countries that no longer has Subway locations. The company keeps begging them to reopen franchises but the Jews are having none of it.

As an aside, here's the ingredient list in pork-eating countries. Singapore doesn't seem to require ingredient information to be available online, so I don't have a cross-reference.

>>17061958
It pisses me off to no end that there's certain sandwiches you can only get at certain franchises thanks to their weird opt-in business structure. I think the falafel and the veggie patty are the biggest case of this; I know a Subway that serves them while the next closest one about six blocks away acts like they don't exist. Apparently some locations don't even serve roasted chicken or pizza subs.
Their falafels are actually pretty okay. Not a memetarian or anything, I just like the crusty little balls.

>>17061973
Why is there always some retard "asking" this dumb question.

>almost 2022
>still eats at subway

>>17062022
I don’t understand how one can legally advertise turkey ham

Where I live like 99% of people toast their subs so the fucking "artists" at subway dont even bother asking if I want it toasted. They just throw it in the oven without consent. These days I just let them toast the sub and then tell em I didnt want it toasted and make those wagies start over.

>>17062036
you didn't happen

>>17064689
This didn't happen

>>17061958
Thank you OP you successfully named me into getting a cold cut combo for lunch

>>17061978
Why can't you cut meat for yourself?

>>17064998
Congress passed the Meat-Cutter's Registration and Licensing Act back in '94, making a felony out of the cutting of meat by anyone except a certified professional. Most first world countries has equivalent legislation.

>>17061958
reminder the cold cut combo is the most disgusting item on subway's menu. it comes with "ham, turkey, and salami" but all 3 of these are "turkey based" ground together mystery meat. They come coated in a thick layer of oily grease between huge sheets of waxpaper called a "setup" and the sandwich artist just plops them on the sub.

you are literally better off getting a veggie delight and asking them to add the cheap ass oscar mayer bacon to it

>go to Subway
>order
>don't pick a salad over a sandwich
lol

My local subway stopped allowing microwave instead of toast.

Why?

>>17061958
>go to subway
>commute to work

>>17062022
Somebody just needs to tell the turkeys, "Man, just be yourselves!" I already like you, little fella. I used to draw you. If you had a couple of fingers missing, you would draw a really messed-up turkey. That turkey was in an accident!

>>17062053
North East US has it too

>>17061958
>Get shit for eating a chuckwagon cold
It's a cold cut sandwich you dinks BACK OFF

>>17065284
Weird, we usually get it all across the country. I mean, it's Subway lobster; it's not going to be fresh even if you're standing ten feet from the bay it was caught in.

>>17061996
i'm a sub sandwichfag, order them all the time from every place i can try
blimpe was the worst i've had in my life. inedible

>>17061996
The blimpie in my city closed years ago and is now a hole in the wall Chinese place dishing out cheap larger servings of 4/10 American Chinese food on the edge of the ever creeping ghetto

>>17061986
All Canadians deserve quickdeath

>>17065187
i had a friend in high school that worked for subway. he told me that you should never under any circumstances get the tuna or meatball sub. wouldn't say why...just said to avoid those sandwiches at all costs

>>17062998
It's probably the UK.

Almost all subways there are Halal.

>>17065301
Maritime Leaf here..... my uncle is a fish wholesaler who prepares and bags foodservice lobster meat for shipment. Here, it is actually ten feet from the bay it was caught in.

It's still not great lobster though....

Highest grade lobster is softshell-- this cant survive shipment- next grade (which is shipable stays in the local market or is shipped to places like china.)

Canning lobster is next...

Then foodservice- which is cooked, shelled, and packaged....these are lobsters missing claws, etc..

>>17061996
My blimpie closed and I miss it. They had the best bread and meats. It really should have won out over Subway.

>>17065354

>all 3 of these are "turkey based" ground together mystery meat.
As somebody pointed out earlier, this is only true if you live in fucking Singapore: >>17062998

>>17062390
>yellow egg

funny how they're required to label it that....

>>17065346
>Some Subway chains exclusively use halal meat. The ones which do contain labelling across the store to show that they are halal. A total of 202 stores in the UK serve halal meat, out of 2,000
>1 in 10
>"Almost all"

>>17065423
They aren't. It's listed as an "egg omelet patty" and they're completely open about all the garbage that's in it.

>>17065409
for your consideration, this image from the menu of a subway in anytown, lower midwest US that has basically no muslim or SEA population. its turkey based bologna everywhere

>>17065438
>the US is literally Singapore-tier
lmao

>>17065424

>>17065337
Quick is too merciful.

>>17065424
I bet all 202 of them are in London.

>>17061958
I had a really vivid dream a few nights ago where I ordered a Subway sandwich in full, but never ate it. I remember picking 6" Italian bread and the person gave me attitude. It was a BMT with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mayo. It's extra weird because I haven't been to Subway in at least a year.

>>17065023
So every homesteader that dresses a hog is a felon now?

>>17066143
Yes, you uncertified monkey. If you require assistance, our trained Walmart associates will feed you, do your taxes, and wipe your ass.

>>17062009
> anon doesn't have pocket sandwiches wherever he goes
ngmi

Why do poor people settle for cold food when they go out? What’s the point? Who pays for cold food lmao.

>>17066245
Cold Cuts don't have to be cold

>>17066779
He might be a bongoloid where warm food is taxed differently because it has "value added".

>>17066787
I once asked a Starbucks employee why things were more expensive if we ordered in instead of out. She said we were paying for the ambiance and right to sit in their shop to enjoy our coffee and pastry. Fuck VAT.

I fucking LOVE SUBWAY.

>>17066834
VAT confused the living hell out of me and I found it hilarious how the international departure terminal at Heathrow had a bunch of posters explaining how people could get their money back if you racked up enough of it.

>>17061958
do you?

why is there a menu if you can't order from it?
even if you point to it and ask for it by name, the wagie behind the counter fucking ignores you and keeps asking what bread, meat, vegetables etc you want on it
am i supposed to know what ingredients are in the menu items beforehand and reconstruct them? i don't understand why it's even there

>>17066860
The menu is for fillings, not the bread and veg which are customisable.

How are you all so affected by a sub sandwich shop?

>>17066920
It's literally the biggest most international chain in the world, you dumb inner city youth of indeterminate skintone.

>>17066892
fuck going there anyways because i can never get my voice loud enough for them to hear what i say the first time without straight up shouting like a sperg so i keep having to repeat myself over and over and over again
it's such a drawn-out, embarassing awful process for a fucking $12 sandwich

>>17061986
Because Quiznos was there only real competition. Once Quiznos imploded and subway massively expanded they are pretty much guaranteed profits forever

>>17066951
dumb boymoder

>>17066951
Order using the app. I still think the exact same thing you do about ordering in person, takes fucking forever and is always a pain, now I just order it on the app and pick it up in 10 minutes

>>17064391
whats the difference with hot dogs

>>17061958
>order Subway
>any bread, any filling, toasted or not
>Subway's Sandwich Artists(TM) are specifically trained to choose the correct amount of salad as to not over-fill the sandwich
>request each salad item one at a time
>wait for the Sandwich Artist(TM) to place the item inside your sandwich
>request the next item, repeat until done
>start from the most desirable items (for me, it's olives and jalapenos)
>work your way down to the items that you don't care about
>you get a free salad with your sandwich because you deliberately lead the Sandwich Artist(TM) into over-filling the sub
I found this out by accident by being indecisive about what I wanted. I've done it on purpose every time since and it works 100% unless you get a guy you've already done the trick on.

>>17067515
> 100% unless you get a guy you've already done the trick on.

Stop after first item or two.
Complain your sandwich is fucking empty.

>>17067517
To be fair, I think I'm not the only one using this trick because Subway seems to be catching on. I now order the olive, bell pepper and jalapeno combo and phrase it as if that's all I want, then slowly add extra salad items on top. If you slowly order just one item like in my greentext there's a chance they'll catch what you're doing immediately and cuck you.

>>17061986
get some help

>>17064998
I don't have a pigpen in my apartment

>>17067515
Wtf are you talking about? They have a consistent amount of each vegetable for a 6 inch sub and a different amount for a footlong. That's it. I name the vegetables one by one every time and the serving size is always the same

Also, If you want to ask for a fistful of olives instead of the sprinkling they give you they will usually grant that request. it's not something they have to charge more for.

>>17066951
Could be worse, I used to frequent subway so often that one of the wagies knew my order from memory because I always ordered the exact same thing.

>>17061986
I do this to every wagie who gives me attitude.

i get my cold cuts toasted cause its costs me nothing, costs them money, and it tastes good
the only time i wont is when its the middle of summer

>>17067362
To me ham implies pork. Hot dog doesn’t necessarily imply a specific type of animal (although non-meat hot dogs to me would be false advertising).

>>17065940
>I bet all 202 of them are in London.
Every subway in london is halal and they don't label the ham as turkey ham or have any clear labelling that all the meats are non-pork
