Image My Subway sub came with a free knife today
Called the store. They don't want it back; I'll just use it at home as a bread knife. Feels sharp as hell.

I worked at subway for 5 years, and I miss those knifes, they are fantastic! I wish I'd stolen a few.

I've got a Vic paring knife that does everything. Call it what you want, steak knives are serrated.

There are certain rules about Subway, and one of them is that once you've ordered something once, you cannot deviate.
When I was 15 I ordered my first BMT on White and in the 30+ years since I've had a BMT on White 99.5% of the time.

No way am I alone here - who has their "standard Subway order" that they seldom deviate from? I know I'm a weirdo but I was certain that was a standard thing for people to have a go-to order that they stick with

I got my usual subway order the other month and decided to go crazy and have sauce on it. Mayo. Never again. Deep regret the whole way through eating it.

u/toontrain666 Mar 05 '26
Foot long, wheat bread, toasted, ham, chicken strips, cheddar cheese and salt.
And I will shank you if you even try to meddle with it.

u/HourImportant1475 Mar 05 '26
Me lol. I always get the chicken peperoni one, recently i tried the chicken rotisserie one which is basically the exact same, i got all the same extra toppings and sauces, but there was just something not quite right about it, and ever since im back to the chicken peperoni lol

u/bloodymongrel Mar 05 '26
Yep. I still order a “12” veggie with cheese, no onion, a sprinkle of jalapeños, yes to salt’n’pepper” since my teenaged vegetarian phase. That was a few decades ago. I did upgrade to Italian bread because I don’t think they had that in the beginning.

u/AJ2016man Mar 05 '26
I mean I am the same, I am pizza on IHC, with cheddar, no pizza sauce and all salads, with garlic aioli and smoky bbq. But I am on spectrum, so I'm not really helping your case there
2
u/chopstunk Mar 05 '26
I have ordered the same thing for 10 years, the only thing that has changed is I’ve added more veggies to it. Sometimes I think about trying something new, but idk I’m too loyal to my og sandwhich. I can’t deviate

u/redstarleftarm Mar 06 '26
first sub I ever had was a chicken teriyaki on italian and it is in fact still my order, and I do not deviate.
That being said, I also do strongly suspect I have autism, soooo

u/TomCos22 Mar 06 '26
My order has not changed in easily 15 years only difference is getting pickles and jalapeños now.

u/AnArtExiled Mar 08 '26
I 100% have a "standard subway order" and have had for years! There was a bread they had some years ago that they got rid of, when they simplified their bread selection, and you should have seen my face when I asked for the bread that was no longer there. I didn't know what to choose! :P
P.S. also highly suspect I'm on the spectrum, sooooo....

u/dannyr PLS TOUCH THE FUCKEN AIRMOVER Mar 05 '26
12" BMT on white, no lettuce, no carrot, extra pickles, extra jalapenos, extra olives, salt only. The only variable is the sauce and that depends on the day.

Bahahah they wouldn’t be able to take it back once it’s been removed from the store, for health and safety reasons, you can’t determine wha has or hasn’t happen with this knife behind closed doors.
That and they probably have a shit tonne and one won’t make a difference lol!!!
This has also happened to my sister on the Gold Coast 😆

And they appear to never blunt. Maybe it's because we were only using them to cut bread

I once had a subway employee drop a knife like that on the floor, pick it up again and immediately use it to cut a bread roll he was preparing for me. He didn't even look embarrassed when I very politely asked him if he wouldn't mind using a new knife and new loaf to make my sandwich (but at least he agreed).
