You don't have bakeries with fresh bread that serve sandwiches with fresh ingredients during lunch time?!?
I mean it's not like we're talking haute cuisine here. Any place that sells bread can also put some fresh ingredients on said bread and sell a perfectly fine sandwich. And at the price level you'd pay at subway, you would have a very good sandwich for that.
What a poverty if you live in an area that doesn't even provide such basic service...
It's not that I find subway subs absolutely vile or anything. They are perfectly edible. However I just don't consider it actual bread or actual food, I consider it fast food. And if I want fast food there are many cheaper options.
A smaller whole-grain bun with some lettuce and maybe some goat cheese or something or maybe ham or whatever will fill me up more than an entire subway sub. The subway sub is to me like any fast food: it's like air or something. Hard to explain. It's not substantial enough to be actual food.
