Subway 

Why you annoy me:

• Your stores are the filthiest sandwich shops around, not counting Blimpie.
• Your food is great… assuming you love iceberg lettuce and stale bread.  Meat is not the focus of attention in your “sandwich art.”
• A 6 inch sub plus chips and a drink cost like $7.  People are paying $7 for stale bread, iceberg lettuce, potato chips and sugar water.  $7 at Taco Bell is a feast.
• I won’t even mention Jared Fogle.
• I will mention Clay Henry.  Where did you dig up this loser, and where is he now?
• Your subs aren’t as healthy as you advertise.  Of course a sub is healthier than a burger.  But that doesn’t tell us anything absolute about the health of a Subway Sub.
• You are annoyingly successful.  Proof positive that quality =/= success.

 Possible mitigating factors:

• If a consumer gets lucky, your bread might not be stale and that consumer might get a halfway decent sandwich.
• Most people realize that Quizno’s or Firehouse is better than you.  The only reason anyone eats at Subway is the fact you are in every mall and Quizno’s isn’t.
• Your marketing strategy, while annoying, is working; thus pure genius.
• You are gracious in hiring of minorities or high school drop-outs.
• Most of your locations are convenient late night places to buy drugs.
