Subway

Walked in on a Sunday at 10:40am. Not a soul in sight. We yelled out «Hello?» After waiting for about three minutes. Over the course of the next several minutes, we tried to get someone’s attention by calling out and knocking on the counter. Nothing. We left after ten minutes with no food. Welcome to the city of no customer service.

This was a pretty good place to take a poop. I really had to go and nobody even asked questions! The toilet was clean and the bathroom didn’t have that thin toilet paper you can’t wipe anything with. All in all they really knew their shit!

3 years ago, I’d have given this location a 4 or 5 simply because the shop had competent workers with a somewhat positive attitude. Nowadays their roster includes the kind of workers who are simply there to earn a paycheck and nothing else. Ordinarily this isn’t a bad thing, except that for the past few months they managed to get my orders wrong when I’m right in front of them.
One instance had an old middle school bully working there that I constantly had problems with. I hadn’t seen her for several years and wondered if she’d changed from being a loud, foul-​mouthed pain in the ass like she was when she was younger. I ordered my usual teriyaki chicken with various green things and sweet onion. We get to the vegetables and I say «jalapenos» and she proceeds to put pickles on it. I said louder «jalapenos, not pickles. No pickles» but she kept putting pickles on. I shrugged it off and asked for a little bit of mayonnaise. She covered it with the condiment. There was a woman behind me who saw and heard everything and gave me an understanding look when I turned to leave without the sandwich.
My subsequent visits weren’t much better. Ranging from putting the wrong dressing on the sandwich (how do you confuse Ranch with Chipotle?) to blatantly filthy tables and floors.
I wish Subway would quit shuffling employees around like they do. I loved the old crew that used to work there.

I’m a Subway fan. I thought of all the heavy eating I was doing on my trip to Louisiana, I’d better have a few days of eating light. So, my dad and I drove on over from the hotel to this Subway shop.
It looks like it’s fairly new based on the strip mall it was in and the clean, fresh coat of paint on the building outside. We walk in and are greeted. The one cool thing I was excited about is that they offer the «Sub a Day» special here. In the Los Angeles area, you can’t find this deal around anywhere. Course, on this day I declined to order the special and went with my standby, the oven roasted chicken breast on honey oat bread.
After making it through the order line to the register, my dad went to pay for the sandwiches. All the cashier was able to give him in change was literally change. She had no dollar bills left and had to give my Dad quarters. She said that her co-​worker had just gone to the bank. If we wanted, we could wait until she got back and exchange the pocketfull of quarters for paper money. We said we’d do that.
Until then, we sat down to eat our sandwiches. Again, I was excited that I was able to find Baked Dorritos. All the Subways where I live only have the Baked Lays. So I definitely took advantage of the Dorritos. The other awesome thing about this Subway is that they have fresh iced tea. Again, in Los Angeles none of the Subways I go to have fresh iced tea. So this was a definite plus. I even scored with lemonade in the soda fountain. So I did a mix of fresh iced tea and lemonade. Yummmmmmm.
With all of this excitement over the specials and food offerings, you’re probably wondering why I only rated this place 4 stars. Well, I’ll tell ya. For one, there were no salads on the menu. Instead they had individual pizzas. Not exactly a healthy menu option. Secondly, the banana peppers on my sandwich weren’t exactly edible. Some of the stems were still on there. So that wasn’t a pleasant experience to bite into. And finally, when my dad needed to use the restroom, the door was locked for an extended period of time. We never saw anyone come in or out of there. So I don’t think anyone was in there. My poor dad, he had to use the women’s bathroom.
Other than that, this is a decent place to get a sub sandwich. Don’t let my experience deter you in the least.
