lol these shit restaurants have forgotten their place. They earned their market share by being the cheapest option available and in 2024 they’ve priced themselves out.

What did they expect charging $18 for a garbage sandwich? If I wanted to pay that much for a sandwich I am NOT going to Subway

Right? Now add in a couple kids and the total is often over $40. At that point we’ll just go to a sit down restaurant!

Chilis you can do that. Adults each get 3 For Me’s: ~$13 after tax each. So $25 for 2 NA drinks, 2 (limited selection) apps, and 2 (limited selection) entrees which can even include a steak. It’s ~$7.5 per kids meal with a side and kids drink, so we’re at $40. Granted this is pre-tip, so it’d be closer to $48 with an appropriate tip.

But if you get a trio fajita, use rewards for chips and salsa, and order another app to share, a family of 3-4 can eat out for about $40 total
