hm..I eat at subway once every week or so. I usually just get it "to go" on my lunch break though. I'll have to stick around and sniff myself to see. And if I can't tell, I'll ask others to sniff me too.

I prefer Quiznos over Subway any day.  Prices aren't that different either.  Have you tried the bread bowls?  I am hooked!

Oh yeah man, definitely. Subway has its perks though. For example, a HELLUVA lot of locations. I think there are only 4 Jimmy John's in all of Austin, and at least one of them is way the f%$k out there away from anything else. Thankfully there's one here by campus, though! Subway, however, has about 60 locations in Austin.

4:60. For every one Jimmy John's location there are 15 Subway locations to match. Sure Subway isn't as good, but it's better than a lot of stuff, too.

Oh yeah, I too notice that you smell like Subway even after you leave the store. wtf?

Yes, but there's also the issue of convenience. Distance of travel and effort required to get there. Sometimes that pays big time.

I agree about Jimmy Johns.  I love it.  There is a place called Planet Sub that is even better.  

I have been complaining about the Subway smell for about a year now.  I thought it was just me.  I HATE how my clothes smell after eating in a Subway.  Can you imagine if you worked there?  It is so bad, that if I have a meeting after lunch, I won't go to eat there on that day.  

Nice call!

see - i knew i wasn't crazy!

How do places that have kitchens full of grease, deep fryers, etc etc. not smell, and then subway absolutely reaks. All they have is coldcuts, bread, and vegetables.

Maybe i'll inquire @ subway offices or something and find out exactly what's with the subway stench..  :2guns:

I think it's because they bake the bread right there up front, so all the herbs and spices intermingle and stuff and just linger in the air forever. The smell IS a bit yeasty.

Ok, I went to Subway today for lunch. Afterwards, I gave myself a thorough sniffing over  8) and found no odorous remnants.

you actually eat THERE?

Post by: Jake D on January 31, 2006, 08:30:41 AM
I sometimes stop by Jimmy Johns late at night when I've been drinking.  I usually get two sandwiches and eat one that night and eat one in the morning for breakfast.  This is a fine idea, but please take my advice if you do this: determine that night which one will be the breakfast sandwich and have them hold the mayo on that one.

perhaps it is not Subway that smells foul, but rather you or one of your associates ....you just don't notice until you leave....when the wonderful smell of baked bread and cold cuts is gone....

Keep in mind that the 'corporate cafeteria' at Subway headquarters (in CT) is...you guessed it...a Subway.  The whole area has a hint of that unidentifiable (but yeasty) smell...they might be so used to it that they have no idea what you're talking about.
