RIP: The $5 Foot-Long

[Ironhold]

Subway Sandwiches is raising the cost of their foot-long subs to $6 citing rising costs.

Meanwhile, I can still get a whole large, one-topping pizza from Little Caesar's for $5.55.

Veggies cost more then pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni.I'm fine with this.

$6 is still an incredible deal. I use almost $6 worth of spinach in my footlong before adding any other vegetables!

Their chopped salads are very good too. I too load up on the spinach and jalapenos.

Is this to offset the cost of the Jared defense?

At the Subway I go too, I never see any footlong subs for 5 dollars.

Where the heck are you buying spinach? Up here, the big plastic boxes of spinach are $6/lb.

In grocery stores here, a very small amount of spinach starts at $6. Fresh vegetables are very expensive.

Yikes. If I buy the smaller box of spinach, it's about $9/lb, but that's still a far cry from $6 for one sandwich worth.

If you don't grow some of your own vegetables, you may want to start. Here are some tips on planting spinach:

I don't go to Subway anymore because of the iffy hygiene practices of the employees here, but that is why I preferred eating there for a long time. I could save a lot of money with each sandwich or salad. I would get them packed full of vegetables (which didn't carry an extra charge like meat) and have plenty for two meals.

I've done something similar with the salad bars in grocery stores. Sometimes the per-pound price of the salad is less than that of some of the same cheeses and produce sold elsewhere in the store.

Horrified Subway Execs Assumed People Were Buying Footlongs To Share With A Friend

Everyone's thinking it but no one is saying it.

Do you live in Puerto Rico?

I once went to a Subway restaurant while on a cruise there. The bathrooms were atrocious with puddles of dirty water everywhere, leaking pipes, filthy toilets and sinks and it stunk badly. It looked like something from a third world country.

We left to a different restaurant to eat. If they can't keep the bathrooms clean then I do not trust their food.

No, Texas.

The bathrooms at Subway here are average. Not something terrible but not really what I want to go inside. However, the hand washing sinks are in full view of everyone, and either no one uses them, or they think turning the tap on and swiping their hand under the water for less than a second constitutes hand washing.

I've seen people come in from taking out trash with their bare hands, and skip washing their hands all together to make a sandwich (they used gloves, but they grabbed the gloves all over with dirty hands before putting them on). Cashiers without gloves who have been handling money have also turned from the cashier to wrap sandwiches, which grates on my every little germophobic nerve.

Cashiers with bare, unwashed hands will also go up and down the line and pick up vegetables or pieces of meat that have landed on the cutting board and put them back into the containers. I left for good after that one.

Outside of the US, Canada, Australia, most Western European nations and some developed Asian countries, bathrooms and plumbing in general is horrible.

The exceptions in poor countries is of course tourist 5 star hotels and resorts.

Yeah call the health dept. That is unacceptable.
