no more swiss cheese at subway?

tried to order a ham and swiss, told they dont carry swiss anymore, due to "marketing".

happened once before too, figured it was specific to thst store, as the store down the street will still make a ham and swiss. the woman at the first store said it was the owner there thst decided no swiss.

seems weird to me, swiss is such a staple cheese to so many sandwich choices. i put it on all my sandwiches at home and bought.

anyone else been to subway recently and encounter this?

Slobway's excuse for "food" makes me sleepy and nauseated. Their "Swiss cheese" is probably American fake cheese with flavoring. Haven't been to a Slobway in a while, so I don't know about the situation now.

I'd sooner stop at a grocery, buy some sandwich-making materials, and make my own.

With food you gotta choose between the lesser of evils, like voting. Food in this country is poison. Look at the delivery trucks behind those favorite restaurants and they are mostly all the same trucks. A few companies supply all of the poison.

Grocery store food is not much better. Subway salads are a pretty good choice for me compared to most of what is out there. It scares me to think of the chemicals on the Subway food.

We learned to grow and cook our own food but with everthing going on now it is temporarily on hold. We eat out way too much.

Always said to read the ingredients but there is so much that doesn't show up on the labels it is almost an exercise in futility. If it has a nutritional label, they are lying. If it has a label it is probably not good for you. If it has a label you probably shouldn't eat it.

From the link above:

"Every day we strive to make our freshly baked bread even better. That's why we've added some ingredients — like vitamin D and calcium* — and taken others out — like high fructose corn syrup, added trans fats, and now azodicarbonamide. We think it's our best bread yet, and we're excited for you to give it a try!"

Chemical soup, not food.

Apparently Not A New Situation from 2008

In order to consistently provide satisfaction to our customers by offering high quality food with exceptional service that is a good value, we must continuously review our menu and the ingredients that we use.

Occasionally, we find that some items are not popular, some have declined in overall popularity, some are in short supply or are difficult to work with. In order for us to make room on our menu and in our restaurants for new and exciting foods, we must sometimes choose to not offer or discontinue items from the national menu. Some locations may continue to offer discontinued items as a local item.

And any landlord that rents to them vs to a restaurant that serves actual food should be shaken and slapped. Too many of the damn things popping up in NYC recently, sort of like Charbucks in the 90s. *ulp* *bleh*

I recently had a sub during a business meeting that was pretty tasty. It came from Wal-Mart.

I don't eat a lot, but some folks think food should be served at a business meeting and food is more than coffee and cigars.

They are worth trying if you are looking for something to toss in the old lunch bucket.

If you had the Wal Mart Supreme Super Sub Sandwich, you might not have noticed that a "Serving Size" is 1/4 of the sandwich.

I eat salads at Subway. They chop salads now. Spinach, provolone, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, cucumbers, parmesian, oregano, pepper. Sometimes I put lemon juice on for dressing. I love bread but it isn't food. Cheese isn't either but it sure tastes good.

Dairy products have natural morphine in them. Babies are literally addicted to mother's milk. I like it too.

That's because they are made in China, and kitty cat meat is higher fat, but tasty. YUMMMMM!

buncha food snobs in this thread! yikes!

im not eating grilled baby, every now and then i eat a convenient sandwich, and a decent sandwich can be had at subway provided you give decent direction to the person behind the counter.
i like jimmy johns, goodcents, quiznos too. a sandwich chain is a sandwich chain. local ma and pa places are good too, i shake it up for lunch and sample a wide variety. subway by far has the sandwich market cornered locally, not many other chains, so i can do ma and pa, or subway. i alternate
