What You Should Never Order At Chain Sandwich Shops

Everyone craves a sandwich every now and then, and there are plenty of chains to choose from. However, plenty of former employees of chains like Subway, Jimmy John’s, and others have come forward to share their experiences working there. Most of them won’t recommend avoiding the sandwich shops altogether, but there are certain things that they’ll say you should never order. For the most part, if you’re wondering about whether something is pre-cooked, it likely is, and you should avoid it. From the chicken at Jersey Mike’s to the meatballs at Subway, let’s take a look at what you should never order from chain sandwich shops.

My experience with subway was watching the staff using a knife with dried mayo on it . I asked for a 12 " sub they finished making it i loaded it with everything on it and the sub maker cut it in half with the knife with dried mayo on it and that's when i told her she could start from scratch . The staff tried to tell me there was nothing wrong with the knife so i pointed out the dried mayo on the knife and the dried mayo on the plastic knife holder . Next i was told that's the way they always do it . So i said well i'm not going to start an argument so i said thanks anyway and left .

From a former subway employee: Bread: Sort of, but in every case it's not the fault of the employees. If you got a white Bread sandwich in the morning (before we get a chance to bake more) then yeah. Although it would be from the afternoon on the day before (not a full 24hrs). Almost all store bake in the morning, then a bit more in the afternoon. Roasted Chicken: Debatable. They were saying less than 50% was actually chicken which wasn't true. I recall there being information on the bag and I know it was at least >98% chicken. It just depends on the bag information being reliable. They're basically big, un-breaded chicken nuggets Meatballs: True. putting the old ones on in the morning is a stretch though. Sauces: To my knowledge, we don't do that. You have no idea how rigorously we clean these bottles. There. Now you have another source. P.S. : Everything did come in bags, but I mean its the cheapest way to transport something. They're also meant to be easily handled by employees and they dont have to look pretty for customers as normally customers dont see it.

[@JamFlexx]

From the get-go just straight up wrong. As a former Subway employee, I ask what type of bread, pull it out & cut it, and proceed to ask what meat. The toasting question doesn't come until after that. Furthermore your offered solution is bogus and has no effect on the outcome

[@nicholasmolnar8312]

I worked at 3 different subways for 3 different owners. All of them kept the bread overnight but for the most part we wrapped them in trash bags still following fifo unless theyre hard. Second the mestballs do get old and nasty and if there is a significant amount left they do get put back in the walk-in which is improper, and lastly most locations do just refill the bottles of sauce instead of using clean bottles but not all locations. It mainly csme down to if the employees weren't too lazy or if even the store has enough bottles to swap out with clean ones. *edit to add i would still eat there. Their food aint bad enough to bash and nothing there is really that gross.

[@richbrown932]

I agree. Both of the Subways near me get the bread and cut it before asking if I want it toasted.

[@bolony21]

Even if the bread is dry or day old its not that fucking bad, maybe a bit disgusting but its not gonna fucking kill you or anything

[@knighth2o853]

From the get-go what you said had absolutely no point to it. You are one person. Just because YOU dont ask if they want it toasted from the start doesn't mean other people don't. I know this for a fact because the subway right across the street from me always asks if i want toasted before they make my sandwich. And she never said ALL employees do it she said SOME employees on a reddit post said these things.

[@pixelbat]

Exactly. I've never been to a Subway that didn't ask if I wanted toasted after they already started making it. And people complaining about day old bread... Gimme a fucking break. Bread at the grocery store is sometimes sitting on the shelf for a week or more. Both Subway and Jimmy Johns have preservatives in their bread. Crying about 1 day is stupid.

I was at a subway once and watched an employee drop the sandwich meat, on the floor, out of the corner of my eye. She looked quickly to see if any customers saw it. Thinking that she was not seen, she quickly picked it up and threw it on the bread. It wasn't my sandwich but I left in disgust.

[@jackwalsh3346]

so you allowed someone else to get it? You bum.

[@livi9591]

Everything you said about subway is just complete garbage. I worked at subway for 6 YEARS. This is how every process starts: Greeting, we ask them what they would like on what bread, we take the footlong out and cut it if they want a 6”. The other half does get put back, but is usually used within an hour. We ask if they want cheese or deluxe, the the question for toasting or heating in the microwave. Day old bread isn’t even that big of a deal? Like the bread you buy at the store is older than that lmao what? By the end of the night we have MAYBE 40 pieces of bread left, and we keep it behind a door to keep it from getting hard, if any bread is hard before cutting, we put it in waste. The meatballs are checked regularly, if they get crusty or start to gel or they get smashed, it’s trashed. We do not re-use bottles. We would get shut down if we did. My store and every store in my city operates the same, we all have the same owner and cleanliness is a big thing at our stores. We are even required to change gloves after every meat. If you handle beef and then get a chicken sub you have to change gloves, same for veggie subs and if you get any sauces in them.

[@livi9591]

BigBoiMo1995 who cares why insult someone over what job they have at least they have a job and aren’t on government assistance. You’re entitled to your opinion but the sandwiches I made were not shit. Legal age for working where I live is 16 and I made a few dollars over minimum wage, but you don’t pick and choose when you haven’t even finished high school yet. I stayed after I was 18, I just recently quit due to scheduling problems with my other job, school, and making time for my husband for it all. Money is money. Our stores(I worked at half of them through the years since they’re all owned by the same) are very clean, and do not partake in any of those things claimed in the video. We don’t do it because we wouldn’t done to us. The only thing you might knock our stores for is that we close earlier than we say the dining hall is closed two hours before close when it actually isn’t just because we don’t want to keep cleaning over and over.

So they just... lie, Subway does? Because the first ingedient in the wheat bread is not white flour... as a former Subway employee, I'll ask that you do OBJECTIVE research before you make stupid claims. Legally, they couldn't even allude to it being wheat bread if it wasn't wheat bread.

[@mattwilkes2214]

Well all bread that isn't rye or spelt is wheat flour. White flour is just way better for making bread. The gluten development makes it chewy while still being soft. 100% whole wheat flour makes a decent bread but it turns out more like a brown bread or sort of like a tougher, dense cake. Could make decent sandwich slices but it's not going to be a sub roll. Most whole wheat recipes are mostly white flower and taste different and amazing lol. They're not lying, people just do know enough about what they're ordering, even at a bakery.

[@meauxjeaux431]

I guess we, in South Louisiana, have it good, because there's a mom and pop poboy shop on almost every block, and it's tough to decide which one is better. Their specialties, and most popular ones include, fried shrimp, fried oysters, and roast beef poboys,. But there are also a couple dozen other ones to choose from such as hamburger poboys, fried softshell crab poboys, (DELICIOUS, but pricey), ham, turkey, chicken, etc. We also have our share of many crappy national chains, but they are rarely a serious option.

[@iGot1776Probrums]

Is it just me or does mashed never actually give you any useful information

[@srlagarto1]

The "more soy than chicken" finding was a flawed study. Have you priced imitation processed chicken? It's more expensive than real chicken. Why would they use something more expensive?

[@srlagarto1]

My source is the grocery store. My son is vegan. I actually buy the chicken substitutes for him. They're a lot more expensive per pound than real chicken. Example: Walmart sells the Gardein™ Meatless Chick'n Strips 10 oz. Bag for $3.97. That's $6.35/pound. Albertson's is currently advertising boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.99/pound. The chicken substitute is more than triple the cost of the real thing. Just because an anti-fast food article says something doesn't mean it's true. Go to your local grocery store and price the chicken substitute and the real chicken. Then use some logic. Why would subway use a more expensive product to cut costs? As for the soy found in the analysis? Simple. They use a little soy sauce in their marinade. That doesn't mean it's made of soy.

[@connerlee2888]

I just started working at jersey mikes but it just opened and it’s the only corporate store in the state. I can tell you their standards are pretty high on freshness, quality and keeping things as clean as possible. The franchised stores are way different so I’ve heard. With that being said our chicken is a bit suspicious just because it comes frozen as a rectangle in 4 sheets of chicken meat I guess that’s just not why I expect when I think of chicken lol but it tastes good. My favorite sandwiches are the og Italian, Philly cheesesteak, and the Buffalo chicken hbu

[@FJB8646]

Simply not true regarding chicken breast. It does not and never has come in vacuum sealed bags nor is it boiled in microwave. Lol!! They come in frozen five pound bags, five bags per case. Most shops keep them either in a hot well or heat them in toaster while on the bread. They are right on as far as the meatballs. The best time to get bread is AFTER 11:00am-1:00PM. This way you pretty well know that all day old bread has been used up The best time to get fresh bread is at around 2:00-3:00pm.

[@karenperry3037]

As a former subway employee I can tell you that the bread actually is made every day, not kept overnight and is kept in a moisturizing keeper all day. As for bugs or worms that would be from the factory since the chicken comes pre packed. Throw tha pkg away and report it.. The chicken is changed regularly. That is why subway franchize overhead is soooo expensive. Lots of good food gets thrown to preserve freshness. The subway I worked at was run by people from India and was immaculately clean.Everything was also under surveillance cameras to insure protocols. Not all subways do what you mentioned. They are each independantly owned. It s not a company.

Ever since SW cheapened out on their vegetables on their sandwiches, I refuse to darken their doorstep. Where you used to get 3 slices of tomatoes per 6" sandwich, they cut them back to only 2 slices. Used to be able to get a handful of green peppers, onions, pickles, etc, they now skimp on them giving you a small (emphasis on small) scattering and if you ask for more, they charged you for double. Turn to their meat and you can read a news paper through the slices as they are sliced so thin. Then they jack up the prices all the while cheapening their sandwich. SW drove me straight to Jimmy John's as they do not skimp on anything. The writings on the wall for SW, let's see how long it takes them to read it!

i worked at subway for some time too and can agree on most of the things that were listed but i'd like to add some things green peppers and tomatoes might not be as fresh as you think since the vegetables that get ordered are often, especially in summer, already in a bad state and close to rotting mushy parts get cut off but the rest is still used the green peppers will also be extremely sticky and slimy if they are several days old so keep your eyes open for that mustard and ketchup are the sauces that get picked the least in most of the restaurants, they might get cooled most of the time but if your unlucky the content might be months old

I used to work at Jersey Mikes. The thing about the chicken parm is 100% true. And it is the same for the meatball parm as well, it is cooked completely by microwave. Other than that all of the deli meat is just deli meat. Jersey Mike gets it from the same distributors as Boars Head. But they do make all of their bread fresh daily at least where i was. And I know that because they would send employees home with all of the extra bread at closing time. And we had to prep the bread to be baked the next morning. The food overall isnt that horrible its more that they treat their employees terrible and don't follow childrens labor laws.

Not sure what the real complaint was on subway’s 9 grain bread. It still had the 9 grain blend. That’s a problem? It’s like getting mad at a fish bowl that has a fish in it. Yeah, it’s mainly water, but I’m pretty sure you can’t be mad at a fish swimming in it. Also, you’re mad about their chicken being mixed with soy? I thought soy was a healthy alternative. If you like the taste, again, where’s the problem? Get your shit together mashed. First world problems 🙄

@@kyrozephyr8628 There are always risks with food when you're eating out; you never fully understand what goes into your food when other people are cooking it, especially when it's manufactured or processed off-site. If you want to be more positive of what you're getting, it's better to cook for yourself. However, even meats and other groceries are improperly labeled at the markets as well. Subway incorporates the grains, as advertised, and we should expect meats to not be 100%, especially after the McDonald's chicken nugget rumors. Subway provide products that is fairly reasonable. You can find faults, better or worse, at any fast food chain. People are so eager to point fingers at the chain, such as McDonald's made me fat, but the food chains provide convenience. To expect more out of what they're providing is to hike up the price drastically to appease people for "100%" meat. It's a give and take. It's your prerogative to trade that that quality with convenience.

Good info

[@murrayrosenberg8928]

Being from New York and living in Florida now I really miss those real delis that made real good sandwiches. With always fresh bread that's delivered that morning from the bakery. And they always use quality condiments, not some mayonnaise like product

[@WorldWideMarket]

Subway is the absolute worst!

[@fredberfal1246]

it all sucks

[@themusicguy2879]

stop it mashed

[@seviren]

I haven't eaten for about the 5 days before today. Starving again after only 4 hours. Heading to subway asap.

[@slavinplays4114]

So basically never eat at subway. I worked for firehouse- can attest everything is fresh. Even though we have to toast the bread because it literally finishes cooking in the toaster.

[@jx7945]

I love how the actual former employees are debunking the hell out of the stuff said in the video.

[@mitchellgutierrez9963]

I'm an AGM at a Jersey Mike's Subs and we discontinued the #18 chicken parm because yes it did suck, the chicken was supposed to be microwaved I put it on the grill the bread doesn't get micro waved anymore also it was only for 5 seconds to temper the bread. All the meats are high quality with way less chemicals then the meats you buy at Walmart or HEB. of y'all really trip over day old bread then you might wanna think twice on the bread you buy from the store lol. If you keep buying cheap you'll keep getting cheap food. Go the extra mile and treat yourself right to great quality subs cut infront of you! Jersey Mike's Subs 😀

[@lover14boy]

4:35 " who makes this stuff up?" .... her voice is so cute when she said it

[@aqdrobert]

Three Subways: Managers knew me as regular. When something tasted off, they exchanged it on the spot.

[@stephenalexander9558]

Great video created mostly on input from the "rumor mill" sources with some usual facts of general issue in running the restaurant business! O:-)

[@last5902]

Idc if I don't get sick it's perfect 😂

[@Penguin1098]

Lol, that toasting before making the sub is so wrong. We ask if they want it toasted beforehand with streak and the chicken sandwiches because they need to be warmed up regardless. We won't ask if you want it toasted beforehand if you get any of the deli meats because those meats aren't required to be warmed up. Not because are bread isn't fresh lmao

[@Americanredneck]

I don't care if the bread isn't fresh. I still love it

[@hmjmh7]

The bread for early morning is cooked night before at subway and left in the storage ready for early orders then the rest cooked ready for the day

[@Yzzami]

subway asks if you want your sandwich toasted after they already started making it for you

[@deborahthunderhawk5569]

I loved cold cut combo with Italian dressing.

[@laurelcook7071]

I work at a sandwich chain and if food is being left out that long it would have to be a pretty slow store. I work at 3 different locations and everything has to be replaced throughout the day, Between early morning regulars, lunch rush, and dinner rush everything runs out pretty fast especially during the rushes.

[@lonnybreaux32TTV]

Bruh I work at jimmy Johns and I’ve always said that 😂😂 thank you mash thought I was the only one 😂

[@maybeachef2931]

Jimmy John's is actually considering dropping the #13 Veggie Club. No one buys it, it takes too much cheese (FOUR portions of cheese). I recommend the #6 Veggie SUB as an unwich with extra veggies.

[@WATERMELONZZZ123]

On my husband's account-P.S. Forgot to mention,I brought back my sandwich after I told them of the problem.I was polite about it & got $ back.I hope no one else had that prblem & that it was fixed.I'd hate to think someone else getting sick or making a scene.

[@OtakuCosplay25]

Having worked many places like these )fast food and big 5-star restaurants in the rich part of town) in high school and college I can say anywhere you go to eat will be like this I even worked in a big chain grocery stores. They did that with the salad bar and dressings too only lettuce and watermelon got thrown at night because it wouldnt look like it was fresh in the morning everything else got thrown out after 4 days. Dressings were always just refilled, Flies would end up in the food, and we were told just to pick out the flies, flip the food into a new container with new tongs, and it was put back. If you haven't made peace with this when you go out to eat its best to stay home and cook your own food. No, it doesnt't do any good to complain even to cooperate because what they tell you and what they do to correct this is too very different things. My friends and I compare horror stories about past jobs like this all the time.

[@paultaylor256]

I have been saying this for years! SMH

[@cbb6278]

Considering that every Subway I have ever had the misfortune of having to eat at has been absolutely disgusting, I'm actually quite surprised this whole video is not about Subway and longer.

[@alias8088]

honey oat, spicy italian, pepper jack cheese, add jalapeños and toast, add spinach, black olives, green peppers, banana peppers, more jalapeños, salt and pepper, parmesan cheese and sweet onion sauce 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@WATERMELONZZZ123]

On my husband's account-About a year & a half or so ago,my husband & I went to our now local mall, ate Subway near the food court.I got the chicken??? Tasted SYNTHETIC & it was nauseating.That Subway has since closed....

[@taemeister9302]

You can still eat at Jersey Mikes. It still hasn't sacrificed quality and taste for profit. Subways, on the other hand, is the McDonalds of all sandwich chains. It used to be great back in the 90s. I remember getting footlong cold cuts for $5 and loving it back then. Now it's a tragic, pathetic shadow of what it once.

[@TardRepellent]

I use to eat sandwiches on a regular basis I just go to the supermarket (preferably Publix for this) buy 1/2 of whatever lunch meat and cheese I'm feeling that week from the deli and a couple $1 baguettes from the bakery. I have shredded lettuce and condiments at home. I can make 3 sandwiches per 1. 5:1 Subway sandwiches since those are 70% bread

[@jameslisle7775]

This video made me so.............hungry!

[@Anal0Avenger]

But if you think of eating something fast, subway is still a good option (because no fries).

[@SL-jx2yw]

I work for subway for over 10 years and all I have to say if you run into any of these issues(aside from the chicken) they aren't being trained right. I've never ran into any of these I've also been a manager at a few stores and I dont allow any of that. But well that's just my experience

[@suckmynutsackho1906]

Best Reubens I ever had are at a deli in Pensacola (best banana pudding and salad too!) and Dressels Irish Pub in CWE in St Louis ( Best pub chips too!!!)

[@dertlash]

The JJ’s one is funny, I work there and me and all my coworkers secretly laugh at anyone who ever orders a 13. One, it sucks to make but it’s literally only more cheese. Who wants 8 of cheese and a tablespoon(the portion) of avocado. Then they’d say easy cheese which takes away half the amount of cheese. So they pay 2 more dollars for a regular veggie sub.

[@brotheradam]

the first ingredient in every bread except cornbread is usually white flour... Rye bread included

[@willdbo]

As a sandwich artist for two years, I've found that the bagged chicken, which is all of the chicken, tends to turn blue fairly quickly

[@vanessasaetern05]

So... is it or is it not true about the oven roasted chicken breast and the 9 grain bread from subway because that's my go to and I just had one the other day.

[@cornbisque]

Never order tuna at subway. I worked at the branch in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. dropped the tuna on the floor by accident and the owner made use it and serve it.

[@GregStallion]

I’m from Milford, CT and I can tell you first hand, that all of our subways suck, and we’re the official world HQ.

[@mikecronis]

All the products at Subway's are turkey-based in the US except the Black Forest Ham, which is not actually Black Forest.
