Has anyone here ever eaten at a subway?

No, haven't eaten a subway and either way my country has only 2 subways, one in the capital city and the other one near the capital. Honestly I don't buy fast food because it's a waste of money, fake advertisement - Shit looks depressing once you buy and unpackage it to eat and lastly homemade meals are helluva better. Am kind of glad that my country doesn't have loads of these branded fast-food chains and alike, they're mostly in the capital anyway.

Meals of real food made at home are definitely the way to go. I've eaten fast food like burgers and fries when on trips or needing food while out, but it's been years since the last time.

As for subway, I might have eaten a sandwich from one back in the 90s. Not a memorable experience.

Sounds great that your country largely isn't falling for that fake food bullshit.

There's one just a block from me - and a McDonald's.

I boycott them because they don't do digital tipping and few use cash/change anymore.

Everyone seems pretty enthusiastic about the coming totalitarianism.

That's because they think they're secure in their debts slavery - meanwhile the economic rug is about to be pulled out from under them.

I've never tipped at a McDonald's.

Me either.

When I worked at a Walmart with a subway in the building I would eat there frequently during my lunch break. I really don't like subway though and can't remember ever getting tuna. I have never gone to a subway again after getting fired from that shithole.

It's great to see you back!

Yeah.

I go there for big salads but its a bit tricky knowing even the "meat" is probably mostly carb filler.

If there's no tuna in a Subway tuna sandwich, then what's in there? I'll admit I do occasionally enjoy a Subway tuna as a break from their Club sandwich.

There's a widespread problem with people substituting cheaper species of fish for what people are paying for. Although the article did mention it may just be that the proteins are denatured.

Excellent work by NYT.

Seems tuna prices are rising exponentially. As an example, a bluefin tuna auction price in 2011 was $386/lb, but last year it was $5,057/lb
