There's a Subway just across the way from me. Never been there in the 11 years I've lived in this neighborhood. It's attached to the local gas station. So, not a full-blown Subway shop. Though now I'm tempted to try it.

I don't know how the other sub shops treat extras, but whenever I go to Subway, I get double to triple extra of all the vegetables/toppings, and I have never been charged extra for them. The sub maker usually finds it difficult to close the sandwich, so I just tell him to leave it open and put it on a tray if I'm dining in. For carryout one time, Scotch tape was used to keep the sandwich paper closed due to the abundance of extras. Bang for the buck! :D

Locally Penn Station puts our Subway to shame. And like you said, Mom and Pop places or local (not chain) grocery Deli's tend to be great.

Though, the local mom and pop places seem to be the best when it comes to dedicated hero sandwiches.

Subway has been my go to since I was a wee little lad.

Subway isn't what is was, I remember back in the day they use to slice the meat, now it's premade like everthing else. But if your're starving it tastes good. Gary

Why do you think they changed this? Easier and more efficient as opposed to hand-slicing it for each sandwich?
