In the article Dave quoted, it said that it was a franchise operation, so that sounds about right.

every fast food franchise owner I've ever known has been a real dickhead. And super fucking cheap to boot. It surprises me not at all that a franchise owner would do this.

It's cause it's a McJob and the only input the franchise owner has is his investment. There's no personal connection to the place or the people that work there. The franchise is established for that franchise owner to make money. Period.

It's kind of like the BP stations that are starting to go under because of the oil spill. They lease the BP name but they are private businesses and this is killing a lot of people.

Aww, poor you, get. Remember to always stand up/lift stuff with your legs, not your back!

You're going to punish Subways all across the country just because one franchise owner is a jerk?
This is kinda what I was thinking. The franchise owner was in the wrong to fire the girl without any kind of warning or talk, but that's not going to stop me from eating at my own local Subways.

I don't like subway or quiznos. I only eat there when coerced by family or friends.
This Subway is local to me.
Gusto, this might surprise you, but we are in agreement here.

I used to like subway but then i stopped at this one and I asked for a little mayo on my sandwich and the guy put like a quart of it on there. Instead of saying "fuck you im not eating that" I took it and attempted to eat it. BLECH. After that I cant stand subway.

Ordering a sandwich with mayo was your first mistake.
I hate that though. Why oh why do "sandwich artists" put so much fucking mayo on a sandwich?
My first job was as a sandwich artist. I delivered upon all expectations. If someone only asked for a little, they only got a little. You can always add more, but it's a bitch to scrape off the excess. Just sayin...
UGH. IT IS NINETY DAMN DEGREES IN THE LAB!!!! A/C busted - again!!! Cheap-ass university probably gave the contract to the lowest bidder. This happens every summer. Jackasses.

Haven't been to Subway for a while. I don't know why, but the sandwiches there don't taste like anything at all. Club sandwich? Okay, there's a little pepper, that's probably cucumber, but where's the frickin' meat flavor?
Personally I like Arnold's. Bacon & Chicken on a sesame bagel, all seasonings, served with an ice-cold cola and a raspberry jammy. Yummy, filling and reasonably-priced. Plus the franchise where I eat has the day's tabloids available for reading

I love Subway.
But I've recently discovered I mostly like the bread (with the texture of lettuce and both texture and flavour of onion) and their Tex mex sauce. So instead of ordering what I'always had since the second time I went there ("subway melt"), the last times I've been getting the vegetarian sub, wich has less calories and fats.
I got carried away... my original post just consisted of "I love subway".

Some idiots decided to get drunk last night, set fire to their apartment and endanger everyone else. I'm glad my father made it out alive, but he's lost all of his possessions. 
It's times like these, that reinforce my belief that there are some people in the world who don't deserve to exist . . .

I don't know, but we've stopped asking for condiments on any of their sandwiches unless it's something like the Southwestern sauce that we don't have at home. They glob on everything. Any mustard or mayo we want we just put on at home.

Good call. I asked for Ranch on my meatball sub--it was like they dunked the bread in water.
And the local Subway doesn't have spinach anymore, so we have to put that on as well. It's getting to the point where we should just pick up subway rolls and meat from the grocery store.

Now when I am for whatever reason coerced to go to a subway I say light on the mayo... VERY VERY LIGHT. and I add a "im not fucking around here" look. So far so good.

I love mayo. I let 'em lather it on. Yummables.
Also. I made love to a Subway sandwich. This morning. I was busy last night. With your mom.

two parts mayo, one part special sauce.. oh yeah giggity
The other day, I made pressed sub sandwiches with turkey, swiss, lettuce, tomato, and onion, pressed and cooked between two hot cast iron skillets. Yum
I am a subway regular. This one sandwich artist never paid attention when I said I want a little ranch on the sandwich. I finally yelled at the person, "OH MY GOD! how much do you put on when some wants a shit-ton of ranch on the sandwich!!!"
They finally figured it out after that outburst.

I'm sorry to hear it, LS. I hope it gets cleared up soon, for your sake and his.
