    This happened at the South Lake Drive location next to a Shell Station. Exceedingly rude little Indian kid with curly hair and wearing earbuds refused to change his gloves to make my salad. I explained I had celiac, and he rudely said I was stupid because he doesn't change his gloves and contaminates all the vegetables, so you can't get anything gluten free there. We won't be back. Filing a complaint with corporate!

    I was cursed by Karen (actual name) the manager at the Rich Creek Virginia franchise. After she realized I was the customer that was in there about a month ago who after being told that they had no onions. I told her that I didn’t really want the sandwiches. She didn’t have any onions and she was rude at that point in time and today when I went back in there when I said extra onion, she said, "Oh I remember you. You’re that **," and it escalated from there. If I were a business owner and knew her behavior, I would consider her unemployable.

      So, we are DONE with this Subway store. The bread is literally crunchy, the toppings are never just as ordered. Today was the capper. Supposed to be BOGO ft longs, when ordered through app. Refused, husband could feel the hardness of bread thru wrapper, just ridiculous argument basically lying by employee. At home, we had to trim the bread by about 1/3 to eat it. Toppings, I'll not even go there.... NOT the first time at this location either. But WE are done with them! There are plenty of others nearby. Drive the extra 4 miles & don't go to this one! Store # 33292.

      This company uses bait and switch tactics. They advertise deals and promotions, but when you try to make a purchase, the coupon is suddenly rejected or your payment is declined. Subway, you really need to pay attention to all of these negative reviews and make some serious changes to your management and customer service practices before you lose even more customers. It is absolutely ridiculous to see so many customers experiencing dissatisfaction with no apparent effort to address them. Customers deserve transparency, consistency, and better service. If you continue to ignore these complaints, you will continue to lose loyal customers.

NOW you send these emails with whole paragraphs of tiny blue text all crammed together - I don't bother to read all that - not worth my time - I just delete the email.

      The sandwich was tasty, although it was literally smothered with onions I had not requested. I measured the "six-inch" sandwich, and it measured just over 4.5 inches. I had ordered and paid for our meal to be ready by 1:00 pm., but when my son got there, the guy at the counter hadn't begun to prepare them and made him wait till he waited on two other customers. I could understand this if I hadn't paid beforehand, because the store doesn't want to lose money, but I had paid two hours previously. We finally got our food at 1:22 pm.

      I think it's dumb you can only use one gift card at a time online. They charge 5 in fees so my order had to be less than 5 since there was no other way to use my gift card without having to go in to the store (10dollar gift card). I wish the experience and the technology on that could be better, besides it's a rip off to use the convenience option of not having to leave your house.... My food does look fresh for the most part. All I could manage to utilize was 3 cookies and a pretzel with 1 cookie lol. Junk food. :D

      We were in Detroit Lakes MN. today and stopped for a quick late lunch. We were informed the $3.99 6" Deli Faves were not being honored at this location. We then ordered the $3.99 Protein Pockets.. 1st order was the Peppercorn Ranch Chicken Pocket... Wanted to leave off the peppers and the sauce due to being allergic to garlic. We asked if we could add olives and green peppers... But was curtly, told we could delete what we wanted but could not add anything to our order.

      2nd order was Turkey & Ham Pocket. Upon fixing both pockets as we watched we only got 1 slice off cheese, 1 slice of turkey and 1 slice of ham.. Either Pocket reached their protein grams. The girl demonstrated she was not sure of herself in the meat selections. Kept putting the meat back into the tray, proceeded to read something and tried again several times. As best to say we are truly disappointed that Subway does not honor adding things to your order. Least to say we will not return to this location and will share the news with friends.

So, I just bought my husband supper from your store even though I was looking forward to the sandwich I had tried to purchase.

      It is sad how Subway would sell the franchise to individual people. But Subway don't make the store owner stand behind the coupons, only certain ones they would honor, not all of them. If you ever have a complaint you would never talk to a human, you would have to go on the internet and nothing would get resolved. I will have to let the news media talk to these hidden people.

      This whole rage about protein is B.S. The advertisements that you see are bogus and nothing but hype. The subway commercial does a good job with advertising this. Subway sells sandwiches , not protein shakes. You do not get fit by not eating. Sandwiches have nothing to do with fitness. Sandwiches are a lunch meal. That is all they are. There is no miracle behind a sandwich. If that's the case, then Subway would be better off advertising the amount of protein in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then charge an arm and leg for it. (What a bunch of idiots.)

      I just recently went to Subway and bought 2 BLT footlongs for their deal price for $6.99 per sub. So, by the time I checked out my subs on the App, my total was $18 and I left a few dollar tip. Good thing i never paid full price. I would have end up paying close to $30 (thirty dollars) for both subs. When I got home, opened them up and looked them. The sub looked very small, no bacon on the BLT, whatsoever. I saw only a very small amount, if any, a couple pieces of bacon. The bacon was not fresh and did not taste too good. Then came the lettuce. The lettuce was rotten around the edge and looked to be a few days old. On the other sub that I had bought, the bread was crusty and hard (Like it had been sitting out for a week or more).

      At this point I was very very dissatisfied and felt robbed of my money which is true. Subway is a food restaurant and is in the business of feeding people (NOT ROBBING THEM). I remember years ago. Subway was never as cheap and unprofessional as they are today. They actually fed you, with a sandwich and you were satisfied. Their sandwiches used to be stacked and fresh. I do not plan on going back to Subway for a very long time. I can make my own sandwiches at home, Thank you!

And I said I understand but accidentally bypassed that. I said, "If you cant do it then dont toast it" and she was like, "I can cancel your order" all loud and I said, "No ma'am I don't want that. If it was such a problem just don't toast it." There was no need for her to be rude. Wasn't very professional. I don't know if she was having a bad day or what but I felt like her target.

My birthday is in 15 days and nothing received yet. Subway provides ZERO support!!! No phone number listed, no email and Sammy is a Bot. So he is AU. Artificially Unintelligent.
