Yeah Subway is terrible, I don't eat there either. Btw there is an entire Reddit thread dedicated to Subway, and there are MANY complaints that none of the franchised stores accept coupons anymore. This has been going on now for a couple of years. It's ridiculous because the company constantly puts out coupons, and then lets it's stores refuse them. I personally think subway is going to fail or at least have a drastic cut in locations eventually as it's been on a death spiral for at least 2 decades. Prices aside of all the sandwich makers they're by far the worst.
As far as this thread goes I agree it's crazy how high the prices I have gotten eating out. I firmly believe it's a combination of inflation, the doubling of minimum wages in many areas, and then the rise in cost of just about everything. I'm not surprised many restaurants are going under. My wife and I rarely eat out simply because I do all our food prep and we eat super clean, so can't really eat out anyway. And that's a good thing, because I would hate to be supporting eating out 3-4x week like many people do. And don't even get me started on food delivery apps, haha.
