Customer Is Charged $21 For Subway Sandwich: ‘Absolutely Not Worth It Anymore’
December 4, 2023 by Julia DeKorte
Remember $5 footlongs? That great deal on Subway sandwiches is definitely a thing of the past, as one customer reports that they paid $21 for a sandwich last month. This outrageous price was for a premium sub, but nonetheless, no fast food sandwich should cost $21, and other customers are calling this development “absurd” and swearing off Subway for good.
Subway isn’t the only fast food chain that’s been increasing prices within the last couple of years. McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Taco Bell have all come under fire for their increased menu prices, and though many claim inflation, rising minimum wage, and increased supply costs as the reasons, they’re also reporting net income increases: McDonald’s net income increased from $1.9B to $2.3B in 2022. Something’s not adding up! Keep reading for more information.
Reddit user outraged at $21 Subway sandwichThe customer in question, Reddit user @WaldorSockBat, started a thread by saying “I bought a Subway Sandwich for 21 bucks,” adding a skull emoji for good measure. “Guess my parents were right, we do have food at home.” Other users were just as angry, and some reminisced on the good ol’ days, when a foot-long sandwich was only $5.
“Dang. I managed to get a foot-long for like $10-$11 bucks with a coupon last week,” another customer wrote. “The $5-$6 foot-long really is a thing of the past now.”
