Subway

I’ve been coming to this location for the last few years. Things have been ok but nothing to write home about. There was one worker there whom I enjoyed conversing with even though she was hard to understand at times. I no longer see her there. I’ve noticed driving by that it’s never busy in there anymore. Not sure if it’s changed owners.
The second to last time I went, the man who made up my sandwich barely looked up and acknowledged my existence. I only ever get three veggies and it seemed I was putting him out by asking for a little bit more lettuce. I was the only one in there so he wasn’t rushing to help others.
I thought I would try them one last time. Again, bare minimum in terms of toppings, tomatoes were extremely under ripe. Just… meh. The kicker for me was the soda machine. I always test with a sip before I fill up. First one tried tasted like four day old flat root beer. Tried the coke next. Same thing. Sprite? Good luck. All of them were so watered down that they didn’t even fizz. I can understand one running low on syrup, but all of them? Riiiiight.
The only saving grace is the avocado for a limited time right now. Tastes great and not like it’s just been scooped out if a container after being mixed with many preservatives.
Never thought I’d say this but for money and taste, you get a better value at Safeway down the street… except for their avocado; tastes artificial!

I am comparing this to other subways — having eaten at many of them I do have a basis.
The good is — it was clean.
The other side is — first they do not speak great English. This showed up by the way my sandwich was made. She asked me what bread and meat then went to help someone else. The next thing I know — she was asking what I wanted on the sandwich — which now had cheese and was toasted — nether of which I wanted.
The meat was less then they normally put on and event though we had two sandwiches — only received one napkin.

I just bought a foot long roast beef at this branch. The stuff is much polite and nicer than Marine Dr. one.

I recalled why I made only 1 visit here last summer: they barely speak English. Yes, probably unfair to label their whole staff over one incident…
Anyways, they’re located in an old-​mini plaza with a Vietnamese phở that’s not worth going to; free parking.
Saving grace is they open til midnite.
