I have spent years of my life eating $5 foot-long Subway sandwiches for lunch. I have always thought Subway was ubiquitous. So there's a counterpoint to your affordable, convenient, and decent.

Didn't Subway finally kill the $5 footlong last year?

The quality of Subway compared to the quality of something you’ll find on display at almost any bakery in Europe, is night and day. My wife and I just wrapped a few weeks traveling, and the sandwiches we occasionally grabbed on our way to the park were all outstanding and very cheap. Better than any sandwich I’ve purchased in downtown SF. I can think of at least 4 different specific sandwiches from previous euro-trips that absolutely blew me away, and were just grabbed from a random corner shop. (Paris, Positano, Barcelona, Copenhagen)

The quality of Subway sandwiches are known to be terrible even compared to other chain sandwich shops in the US. It used to be better but cost cutting and greed has caused the quality of the ingredients to go down significantly over the years. I think Americans in general seem to accept low quality food much more easily than Europeans.

Ohhhh Subway. They got in a lot of trouble when it was discovered that their "chicken" was half soy. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marketplace-chicken-fast-food-1.3993967 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marketplace-chicken-fast-fo... If they just marketed the chicken as "Moving Beyond Meat", and IPO'd with the concept, they could have been richer than their wildest dreams.
