I don't dislike it, it's just very average. My family always gets subway when we're on vacation and we're too hungry and impatient to find someplace better. Other than that I'd never choose to go there.

It's ages since I've had a Subway. I used to enjoy a footlong back in my student days.
But from memory it was dry bread, limp salad and weird reconstituted meat slices with some dubious cheese melted over it no? And wasn't it somehow marketed as a 'healthy' alternative to fast food?
If I'm going to eat crap food I'm just going to go to McDonalds and do it right.

Apart from the price compared to making my own sarnies, I don't dislike it any more than any other multi-outlet eating place. I just don't see the attraction or why it's become so profitable that the owners were able to expand it like that from whatever humble beginnings it might once have had. I suppose we're living in a world where people have more disposable income but they're all so time-poor that they need such places to grab a quick bite during their tiny lunch-breaks etc.
So I suppose overall I do dislike it, but I also dislike MuckDonalds and big business in general.

Well if it's confession time, I did go into Subway once, because of social pressure by mainstream types. I was a bit fazed because they seem to have this standard way of doing things and I didn't know what to do, so I felt all embarrassed and out of my depth. The result was more or less edible and I didn't get thrown out or arrested. I don't suppose I'll be getting a job as the Subway poster-boy any time soon though.
