Are Subway sandwiches as gross as they look?

[pogofish]

Are there any branches of Subway in actual subways?

Munich!

I'm pretty certain I remember seeing at least one in the warren of subways connecting the Hauptbahnhof with the various U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines/platforms around and under it. Along with several other big name fast food outlets and a goodly number of local and national cafes/shops/chains of all sorts - incl proper bakers and a German imitation of Starbucks called "Fellows" - which by the look of its huge menu of sweet/sticky and gloopy coffee options made Starbucks operation look positively restrained and health conscious. Still, its wifi was excellent and upon answering the phone to a hogmanay greeting and when asked where I was, my reply - "I'm in a Fellow" provoked untold mirth and consternation back home!

Had a look - it is here:

An Einkaufsbahnhöfen in ganz Deutschland erwarten Sie nicht nur Geschäfte zum Shoppen und Schlemmen, sondern auch regelmäßig neue Veranstaltungen.

Although it seems to have moved to one of the new entrance portals - The station and associated subway system were just going into a major rebuilding when I was last there.

I get utterly and completely lost there now. I never enter without a gps tracker, compass, flares and emergency water. Too risky.

This was just down to the guy who owned the franchise, obviously. But I’ll give a shout out to the bloke who owned the one in Union St in Bristol because if I gave the homeless guy who lived outside our office a couple of bob for breakfast he used to let him sit inside and eat it, have a warm and use the loo. Good guys in unexpected places, even Subways.

Surely there is only one way to put socks on?

I mean, you can try starting from your head and working down, but I wouldn't recommend it. Don't really mind Subways food-wise, it's a decent cheapish option, but I always resent having to play 20 questions to get a sandwich.

I hate that too, and as I’m not a regular
I always feel like a bit of a dumbo being baffled by really difficult questions about bread, fillings and sauces and totally impressed by experts who just stride in and ask for foot longs.

I thought this had been debunked

No, it seems to have been confirmed...

As someone who feels feint if I don't eat something every couple of hours, I'd rather forgo food for the whole day, than eat something from Subway. I try to cross the road, or at least hold my breath when passing their shops, the smell they pump out just makes me want to puke.
