Default Do you tip at subway?

They have a tip jar and when you pay with CC there?s a spot to enter a tip


I?m a sucker and always leave a dollar per person but honestly doesn?t sit right since they?re actually hourly and aren?t providing a service every other fast food place offers

Thoughts?

If I did eat at subway I wouldn't tip. I don't tip fast food. The one that really pisses me off is Sonic. When you pay with a card at the menu box they ask for a tip at that point. So they see whether or not you tipped before the food is prepared and delivered.

Subway workers usually get screwed by Subway on both pay and hours. I find them to be very disgruntled employees that have zero problems giving out free upgrades when they know you're a tipper. This one kid would give me double meat, double cheese, foot long subs for the price of their cheapest 6 inch sandwich.

So a random Subway, nah, won't tip, but a local one that knows me, absolutely. That being said, last time I ate at Subway, I got food poisoning that sent me to the ER, so no more Subway for me.

As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

Who know or has an idea of how much profit a fast food joint makes in a year?? Could these franchise owners pay more. Which would lead to a fight back from other fast food places or others to possibly raise pay.
Do you pay employees more and let them work less or pay more and keep same hours. Think it's time to raise pay.
We are already helping the owners pay for their inflation. Might as well give a tip.

It varies wildly by location/franchise/etc. Margins in restaurants are super thin already, more so since Covid/inflation/DoorDash/UberEats/windowlickerinthewhitehouse. They’re simply not going to pay more because an increase across the board on labor will kill them. They (QSR employees) are all going to be replaced by automation.

Brinker has Rita the Robot in Chili’s locations. It’s a Servi robot that delivers drinks and food to tables in some locations. Panera is testing AI to take drive thru orders and they?re not the only ones. Robotic cooking is being rolled out/tested across the world.

As for OP - Hell no, I don?t eat Subway, but even if I did they can fuck right off.

They're about $14 on average up here, so I have a hard time allowing myself to spend that much on a sammich, but do once int a while.

They discontinued the meatball sub at Jersey Mike's because it sat in sauce and wasn't up to their fresh standards. I miss it. Their cheesesteaks are hard to beat.

Does anyone who frequents Denton know if they got rid of NY Sub Hub? I remember reading years ago they were gonna tear it down and redevelop it and everyone was pissed. That place had the best sandwiches ever.

Oh, that was my Son's girls (now wife) sandwich shop (E&G). It was a franchise from up north, they had three franchisees in Texas, Plano, Denton and College Station. The three owners had to take them to court for not sticking to their franchise rules and won, but they all had to close their stores.

She now has a few other consulting businesses and some YT content and is doing great.
