What towns are we talking about here, because this matches nothing to the one in my town. The subways smell good, and you get exactly what you order in generally under a minute.
From what I've read online on certain discussions, some people seem to enjoy the smell of Subway, while others (myself included) can't stand it.
And at my local Subways, they're dreadfully slow. Usually only ever 1 person preparing things (despite those annoying adverts they ran here going on about their fabulous procedure of having a long chain of workers).
And the employees don't tend to care.
I will be fair and say that the Subways I am most familiar with are in towns in a more rural part of England. They get busy, but not as busy as city-Subways, and don't have the skill to go as fast, nor the necessity.
The building is room temperature.
Subways, particularly around me, in towns and cities, are always small buildings. And they always seem to have crap-loads of people in them.
It gets hot and sweaty, and they've never seemed well-ventilated to me (the front doors do most of the ventilation).
Also, WTF do you mean "Not giving you what you order" You loving sit there and watch them make it for you. If they mess up, tell them because they are literally feet away from your face behind only glass.
I was talking in reference to the OP who is talking about recieving a sandwich that is shorter than you ordered.
I've not experienced that personally.
They do take the ordering quite well. Even to extremes. Such as asking you if you want Salad in your specifically ordered "BLT", and when you say "no", thinking they mean additional salad stuff (Who the forget asks for a BLT and then thinks they need to ask specifically for the Lettuce and Tomato?), they give you a sandwich with just bacon...
The ingredients / bread are never "gone wrong" or out-dated.
The bread most certainly has an off smell. The bread never smells particularly fresh.
It doesn't taste stale, but not fresh. Not like bread from an actual bakery.
then idk
the subway i go to smells like bread
which is a good thing
The smell of subway most certainly smells like some form of bread, but it in no way smells like regular fresh bread.
The smell of an actual bakery, freshly baked bread or even the various frozen breads from supermarkets do not smell at all like that of Subway bread.
There is something that they do, or put in the bread at subway, that gives it some unusual scent. And it personally makes me nauseous.
It's some sort of sickly-sweet smell, but it's overpowering.
