- amabaie, on 05/26/2009, -24/+734This is typical marketing that happens almost everywhere these days. Gone are the days of the corner deli guy who everyone knew and who served extra stuff with a smile.
- philman467, on 05/26/2009, -9/+674because god forbid every square centimeter of my sandwhich isn't covered with cheese
- BossX, on 05/26/2009, -2/+422And wtf happened to cutting the bread properly?

- thetayloreffect, on 05/26/2009, -2/+291Instead of asking for "extra cheese" simply scream, "I DESIRE ADDITIONAL CHEESE TRIANGLES! "
- superheroboy, on 05/26/2009, -7/+221It's from Left Handed Toons. It's a joke. Original comic: http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/77/. Original source of this photo: http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/blog/2007/09/10/sub ...
- mkruse, on 05/26/2009, -14/+223Anyone else have to read it twice before they realized it was Subway the restaurant and not subway the mass transit system?
- Shwaavay, on 05/26/2009, -3/+165I hope that was really a prayer and not sarcasm cuz I dugg it.
<Prays> God please forbid it... - densetsu23, on 05/26/2009, -5/+162Dugg for the metric system.
- geoman2k, on 05/26/2009, -4/+135i totally thought this was referring to a real subway. i sat there for like 2 minutes thinking who the hell would buy cheese on a train?
- WanderOn, on 05/26/2009, -14/+142I don't notice how much cheese is on my sub... as long as there is plenty of bacon
- gambit2121, on 05/26/2009, -1/+121because they totally do that.
- shakabrah, on 05/26/2009, -3/+122agreed. V cut > hinge cut.
- EntropyFan, on 05/26/2009, -20/+133'These days'? This is marketing 101, and has been practiced since things have been on sale.
- twiztidsinz, on 05/26/2009, -4/+104Clearly this is official......
- Smokeydabear, on 05/26/2009, -15/+101If you can eat a whole subway sub and not be full you're a ***** glutton. Seriously.
- frap66, on 05/26/2009, -11/+93DAMN IT I KNEW IT DAMN THEM
- kamakazitp, on 05/26/2009, -0/+77because you can see the logo on the glove boxes on the shelf under the sign.
- Gr00ver, on 05/26/2009, -2/+78Behold the power of cheese triangles.
- VanishingLex, on 05/26/2009, -24/+100no, he went out of business, because the bulk purchasing power of the large companies meant they could afford to undercut him at a loss supported by their other franchise shops that had already driven the local competition out of business.
Then the big business keeps looking for ways to make the quality fall and the price rise to absolutely maximise the profits.
Big businesses know that the average consumer will be so tight they can use predatory practises to expand market until they have such a massive advantage over the non-predatory/cutthroat ones.
But of course the persons to blame as always is the consumer masses, for not giving a *****, for allowing this sort of thing to happen instead of exerting their choice muscle to prevent the homogenisation and dullness of the spread of sheeple big businesses.
Act like sheeple, get ***** sheeple products. - stayputnik, on 05/26/2009, -2/+76seriously... just avoid large franchises as a general rule. there's a vendor at the farmer's market here in d.c. that i buy green beans from all the time. i drop in, buy $4 worth of green beans, and they drop a free orange or a peach in the bag just for the hell of it. lovely people... and i'm happy to give them my business.
- Dmilla16, on 05/26/2009, -4/+77 "5 dollar and 40 cents for extra cheese footlongs"
- BoneheadFarker, on 05/26/2009, -0/+62From what I remember...it was all about marketting. They did a survey and found most people preferred the hinge cut, despite the fact that it was rarely requested and most people complained after we switched. But they made us change the cut anyways. For a while you could ask for the proper cut, but unfortunately they no longer teach people how to do the V-wedge (yes, it actually takes practice to perfect the technique). I miss the good ol' days...
- p8ntslinger676, on 05/26/2009, -7/+65i really dont like cheese that much, so it doesnt bother me, plus i dont eat at subway, i eat at thundercloud, cus their subs not only taste better, but they are made by hippies with love, and let me tell you, love is most delicious, instead of the gross morbidly obese lady that works at subway who is sweating bullets even when its a chilly 68 degrees.
- Flambo, on 05/26/2009, -0/+50We require more vespene gas.
- bannoy, on 05/26/2009, -1/+50I can tell from some of the pixels and having seen quite a few Subways in my days.
- Dizik, on 05/26/2009, -3/+51WTF is a 'panawan'?
- fungusmonkey, on 05/26/2009, -3/+49Yay! I like this game!
He went out of business because his wife came down with a fatal illness, so he started skimming money from his employee's 401K contributions and then when that didn't work he started manufacturing and selling meth out of the back of the store. - robertisaar, on 05/26/2009, -0/+40dugg for the grotesque visual image...
and hippies putting "love" in the subs... - wild, on 05/26/2009, -2/+41Move to Chicago. We have tons of those corner deli guys.
- dawgma, on 05/26/2009, -2/+41What is a V cut?
- BigCalhoun, on 05/26/2009, -17/+55Quiznos > Subway
- AndrewMoyer, on 05/26/2009, -0/+38Go to a subway and watch them put down the cheese. The sign might not be official, but the message is.
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -2/+39Except price and convenient locations.
- MattB123, on 05/26/2009, -1/+37I was initially confused, wondering how cheese placement affected mass transit.
- MCA2142, on 05/26/2009, -4/+40Be smarter than subway's marketing.
That's enough ***** cheese for a 12" sub. You won't have a helipad for an ass, and you'll save a few cents each time. - surferboy, on 05/26/2009, -1/+35Wow, I've never met a Subway apologist. Neat!
- mu0p, on 05/26/2009, -1/+35My dad did this when I was like 7 years old, I wanted to order a cheeseburger and he told the cashier "no just make it a regular burger, no cheese" then when my burger comes out, he reaches in his back pocket and grabs a single slice of cheese, unwraps it then places it on my burger........ill never be the same
- pumpedvideo, on 05/26/2009, -16/+50how do you know it is subway?
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -2/+35hes making fun of the original post, dumbass
- Sp4maham, on 05/26/2009, -5/+37I hope I'm not the only one who was thinking-- "WTF does cheese have to do with riding the subway?"
- bakerster, on 05/26/2009, -4/+36jimmy johns destroys subway in every way
- iarp, on 05/26/2009, -1/+31This picture was in response to this comic(link below) from a while back. I remember both of them showing up on digg.
http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/?c=77 - JerkStore99, on 05/26/2009, -1/+31I go into Subway to get a $5 footlong sub. I'm thinking a simple salami and cheese on sourdough. I look up at the board and it says a salami is $6.39, but the Spicy Italian (Salami and Pepperoni) is a "classic" and is $5. So I said, "Why is the footlong salami $6.39, when a footlong salami and pepperoni is only $5?" They didn't know, so I said, "I'll have a $5 salami footlong" and they said they can't do that. So I said, "Can I get a Spicy Italian with no pepperoni?" They said, "Sure, but we will have to charge you $6.39 because you are getting a salami sandwich." I said, "Do you not understand what I am getting at here? Why is salami + pepperoni less than salami on it's own? Charge me for the Spicy Italian, you keep the Pepperoni, and I will be on my way."
They literally had to huddle up to make their decision and said I will have to get the Spicy Italian as it appears on the menu. Fine I said.
I got my sandwich, sat down, unwrapped it, pulled off the pepperoni and left them in a nice pile right on the table.
***** you Subway. - doctechnical, on 05/26/2009, -1/+31"Sandwich Artist"?
Right. And my cat is making a Zen Stone Garden in her litter box. - digitul, on 05/26/2009, -6/+35can we retire the word "sheeple' now please?
- lex0nyc, on 05/26/2009, -9/+37Must... destroy... corporate... culture... violently!
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -3/+31yeah honestly if you only eat at chains and fast food joints, don't be surprised if your sandwich isn't made by someone who's proud of what they make.
I never eat at subway. I only eat the fattest cheese sandwiches - doctechnical, on 05/26/2009, -0/+28Clearly I need to start taking my own damned cheese to Subway.
