Fast food giant Subway sued for its misleading sandwich ads

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

[@MrMooCow199]

McDonalds and other lawsuits were dismissed because their photos showed everything that is actually in their burgers at in the correct amounts. They're just positioned outwards so you can see everything. Subway is just blatantly faking their product by loading their subs with lots of meat for the ad, but which doesn't exist for an actual sandwich.

As soon as they cut back on the meat by 25% I noticed right away, the first time I thought it was just one of those things, you can't get it right 100% of the time. After the second time of getting a sandwich where the roll outweighed the meat, that was it for me. I haven't eaten at Subway since.

They had to stop because the franchises were losing so much money. Subway corporate treats their franchises very poorly. Why anyone would buy one, I'll never know. Subway will give you a franchise and then give another person a franchise down the street, which means you're competing against not only other brands, but other Subways too. They don't care because they make money simply selling supplies and charging fees to their franchisees.

Why doesn't anyone question smaller package sizes for the same money at grocery stores? They call it shrinkflation and consumers are being ripped-off 😡

Subway used to be a super good deal. They've gone downhill a lot in the last 10 years.

Indian store owners are very strict on this and management makes the employees do this…

Went to one like that with a coupon that I got in the mail. The owner gave me the dirtiest look. I haven’t been back since.

[@FezCaliph]

Yep. I’m Indian and you are correct. Worst part is all the ones around me are usually owned and ran by them. I get so excited when it’s a random teenagers working after school when the Manager isn’t there 😅

[@user-qr5qv9zf2z]

Last time I ordered a subway sandwich the lady only put like 4 slices of meat. It was a 12 dollar sandwich. I walked out. Never to return.

[@anthonymatute6057]

They probably put more meat on a rapper’s sandwich in a Subway…

[@briansalce2808]

I’m pretty much done with fast food now. It’s not healthy, it’s way over priced and honestly, you don’t know if the food is safe to consume at all due the ecoli outbreaks happening almost every day.

[@PoeLemic]

Exactly how I feel. Just using the terms, "google and COPYCAT RECIPES". Then, you can learn how to make anything for so cheap. We've really cut down on eating out.

[@RLKRAILTIES]

Time to go to Jersey Mike’s. If it’s too much like $14 for a foot long and it’s not good quality. Might as well go to Jersey Mike’s

[@PoeLemic]

Exactly, if you are gonna pay big money, go to Jersey Mike’s. They charge much more, but they do give you good portions. However, it's better to learn to copycat JM's.

[@rickazca774]

I stopped going to Subway 4 years ago when stuff like this was already happening. the clincher for me was going and seeing their tuna had little puddles of water in it. A clear indication it was reused, left in the fridge overnight if not longer. I ordered a chicken sandwich, the bread was actually had a hardened texture, another indication it was at least two days old, not made fresh the same day. That particular location shut down a few months ago.

[@agustinluna4806]

I quit eating there because it was always a fight about the meat portions at Subway. And they still asked for a tip! If I'm not happy, NO TIP from me!

[@happycook6737]

I don't think people who make sandwiches should get a tip. I feel the same about coffee jockeys! Ridiculous

I ditched fast food. I was never a fast food person to begin with, inky really got it when drunk. I've gave most of that up too. I'll go to a fast food joint maybe 3 or 4 times.a.year. restaurants I never go to because that's even more expensive. Mostly buy groceries which we all know that is also getting up there in prices

This has been happening for years! You'll have a better sub at Jersey's Mike.

there is no saving subway. I went for lunch a few times there and at minimum my sub was 14 dollars for a sandwhich.... Its terrible.

[@stevejones914]

You could just eat at home

[@xwrtk]

I got local delis instead because I can get a footlong sandwich for less than $6 and they don’t skimp on meat and toppings. Subway price gouges and there’s shrinkflation.

[@j-sonS]

i just ordered a subway last night...$14 for a footlong without a combo. the location didnt participate in the 6.99 promotion.

[@Justin-uc8sc]

Why did you order then?

[@buckeyestate5133]

​@Justin-uc8sc Because Americans forgot how to boycott. Somewhere along the way we just accepted getting effed over. Now our government over spends and corporations do whatever they want because their bottom line. rarely gets effected.

[@duchessnoodle4498]

Mostly all locations around me don’t participate in deals.

[@PoeLemic]

@J-sonS ... Well, just make the order, don't read the sign, and tell them you're not gonna pay -- unless they honor the coupon. If not, walk out. I do it all the time. Duh !?!?

[@ricktheexplorer]

$17 for a footlong sandwich, including chips and drink. No food is worth that much money.

[@PoeLemic]

Yes, just learn to make it at home, by using COPYCAT RECIPES. Search that. We make them for $2 bucks or so (at home) and have them very big.

[@JayandSarah]

Lots of food is worth that money, but not a sub sandwich, bag of chips and a fountain pop.

[@stevenholt6604]

None of their franchisees would honor the 6.99 footlong price, there wasn't one store I could find that did

[@JK_Chapman]

[@isoldejaneholland8370]

I saw those commercials, but didn't even bother checking at either of the Subways I pass every day. Everyone wised up to that mirage years ago. I don't understand the motivation for spending a fortune on ads that only serve to aggravate both customers and shop owners.

[@PoeLemic]

Order it, show them the coupon at check-out, and (if they don't honor it) walk out. I do it all of the time.

[@frankc5210]

This happens ESPECIALLY if you order online and pick up your sandwich later. They are more inclined to skimp out on it because you’re not there to say anything.

[@henryrivera9816]

Not only that but they charge 23 dollars for a sandwich and pop

[@baldeagle4710]

$15 for a sub from grubway? lol

[@frozenllama23]

Just 6$ here if you have a coupon 😂

[@josephkessler4603]

Not sure why they don't have food scales installed at places like chipotle for each station. It would be a super simple fix to ensure they are both advertising and fulfilling customer orders properly....

It's not gonna look exactly like the photo. This is nothing new.

[@abrahamnutrition]

I am never eating at Subway again. I ordered 4 footlongs. The girl got them all wrong. Plus, she didn't put cheese on any of them. You can't see what they are doing anymore because they have a sandwich table with the lid covering what they are doing. I called Subway. They sent 2 coupons for two 6-inch sandwiches. The other thing I have noticed is that the bread itself while may or may not be a footlong is more narrow. We are done!

[@enjoystraveling]

Last time I was in Subway it was the first time I noticed that lid covering the sandwich table that you can’t see what they’re doing, I walked out without ordering.

This is the reason I haven't been to a Subway in almost 5 years. The only sandwich worth it is the sweet onion chicken because they are weighed out and are the same every time.

No, we weigh all meat portions now.

They’ve been doing this for years it’s just gotten so bad. That’s why I stopped going, I’ve only had subway recently and I had to beg for 8 cucumbers on a foot long sandwich instead of 4. like please be serious. Just for the sandwich to be 15 dollars ?

I was a regular customer of Subway for years. I stopped patronizing them several years ago for this very reason. Higher prices, shrinking sandwiches. There are local delis and sandwich shops that charge the same and really give you your moneys worth. Subway is on its way out.

[@jkusrbetter9519]

Paid almost $17 for a footlong Subway Club sandwich a couple weeks ago. Last time I hit subway for a long time. If I am going to pay that much it needs to taste like a $17 sub.

Nothing should taste like a $17 sub sandwich in US currency. That is an insane amount of money for a sandwich, period.
