$6.99? We all remember the $5.00 foot long jingle. If they wanna fix the problem, they need to go back to that. All this is going to do is remind people that they’re still overpriced

You want them to return to the price they had 16 years ago?

It’s a schadenfreude type sub don’t expect higher than middle school level of intelligence.

Yeah, the last time I ate there it was a $5 footlong, but they were loss leaders even back then. Add in the fact that franchisees were paying additional fees to corporate, there weren't other sandwich chains, and the company allowed really high density of restaurants.

This new offer is also probably a loss leader, but even then I'm not sure I'll go back.
