Like even before Covid they never had enough people to handle all the customers.

You can only put out so much food the way they're setup. Extra employees wouldn't really help.

because the owner literally pays themselves 7.25 an hour for each employee they don't have working but should.

the wraps are actually pretty damn good and don't feel as "sugary" as the regular bread.

I used to work at Subway over ten years ago. We were always short staffed back then. It's a terrible place to work for and they by far have the worst subs on the market.

Remember when they were considered fresh and healthy? Just LOL

Because they're all franchises. Skeleton crew = more money for owner.

I worked at a subway

you're right, we always have to have 2 people but we CAN bring in a 3rd person if its extremely busy for the whole day

we would actually have 10 - 12 employees.

Also we wouldn't get lunches, there was a legal loop hole
we would only get lunches if there was 3 people working so very rarely

because they're shit places to work. the stores run on razor thin margins which means the only subways that stay open are the ones with hard ass management who make the work hell.

Most subways i have seen have 2-3 people tops during peak hours. Some have just one guy and his wife running the place.

They sacrifice service speed to cut down on spending while jacking up prices. A turkey, ham and cheese sub was 10 bucks a few days ago. No chips no drink just that. I was flabbergasted.

I go to the local Subway once a month or so. I swear I've never seen the same person working there more than once.

This is why I stopped going there. Yeah it's low quality, but it was worth it at 5-6 bucks. Now they charge the same price as places that have better food.

Cousins, Quiznos, jimmy johns,etc all have better subs at that price point.

Wow. Thats outrageously expensive. It used to be affordable, quick, and healthy. Now we find out that its not healthy, double the price it used to be, and theres only one person in the store.
