    Subway in the 90s was kinda awesome. It was fast and wasn’t a burger place and it had the old brown and yellow subway wallpaper everywhere.

    Then they kept expanding locations and the meat and cheese slicers disappeared.

    Then they ran $5 footlong.

    Then they kept running $5 footlong.

    And kept running it. And the quality kept dropping and dropping so they could keep the price peg.

    Now, it’s disgusting and costs way too much.

    You couldn’t pay me to eat subway, now.

    Chain restaurants have been garbage since COVID. (TBF they weren’t exactly stellar before.)

    You can tell that many servers and cooks moved onto other careers during the pandemic. It seems like servers now are way too inexperienced with little help.

    Tim Hortons. Growing up in Canada they were an icon, good donuts made in store, good coffee, decent food at cheap prices. I would go there all the time.

    Now they have tiny donuts, terrible coffee and they’re way overpriced for everything. Penny pinchers ruined that place.

      Same. And they keep trying to do new stuff. I definitely don’t think of Timmie’s when I want a pizza…
