Why Pay A Little When You Can Pay A Lot?
Sep. 18th, 2008 12:46 pmSo, yeah. I guess it was quite a while ago when Quiznos was new and I spent
almost a whole summer eating nothing but. Probably four or five years ago
now. I loved the stuff. I was a hard-over convert from Subway which, while
it seemed good enough at the time, couldn't stand next to Quiznos' toasty
goodness.
As with all well-played revolutions, though, Quiznos has fallen to the same
flaccid decadance that fortold Subway's doom.
I mean, seriously, I think it's been over a year since I got a
quality sandwich from Quiznos. I've noticed lots of shops turning up the
speed of their ovens in order to manage long lines of sandwich-crazing
consumers -- and faster oven mean less time toasting which means squishy
bread. I've had sandwiches where were not only not toasted, but
where the cheese wasn't melted and the meat was still cold! That's just
disgusting! And it's easily 50% more expensive for me to eat at
Quiznos than, say, Wendy's or Chipotle ($9 average vs. $6 or $7,
respectively). It's not worth it to pay higher prices for a sub-par quality
product.
So I think today is the last day I will ever eat at Quiznos. Unless I can
be convinced that they've changed their ways and they'll love me the way
they did when we were young, I'm done. it's just not worth the pain.
