No Subway $5 Footlongs In San Francisco, 'Cost of Doing Business' Too High

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Subway can't make sandwiches for $5 anymore. Not in San Francisco.

The catchy Subway sandwich shop jingle involving a variety of foot-long sandwiches available for $5 doesn't apply in San Francisco.

The sandwich-making chain stopped selling the five-dollar footlongs in San Francisco due to the "high cost of doing business," according to SF Weekly.

Signs posted at Subway sandwich shops sadly inform San Francisco patrons -- we hear Willie Brown is a big fan -- that "all SUBWAY Restaurants in SF County DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN Subway National $5.00 Promotions," according to the newspaper.

Customers can still buy the sub of the month for $5, according to an employee at Subway on Market and Castro streets.

Apparently, the city's new minimum wage, raised to $10.24 as of Jan. 1, make $5 footlongs an impossible business model.

Unless you want tuna fish, which is the sub of the month. Yum.

Best grub back where I'm from was from a place called the Cancer Clinic. A dumpy little shithole of a traincar diner that had some of the best grub around.

You asked for a steak, he'd walk into the freezer and cut a chunk of beef off a slab of cow :lol:
