Those that know me and have the somewhat dishonour to take lunch
with me realise that: I. Fucking. Love. Subway. Literally love it, I love it
more than some of the people I’ve dated (I May regret saying that later).
But I Digress ... It’s not just the food though that I like, as in
short it’s just a sandwich - which is toasted and has cheese on it and is
awesome – it’s also the personality of the subway that you are in that adds to
the enjoyment. As after all Subway is a franchises and not one in my town is
the same; some large, some small, some fun, some crap. In my particular town
(centre-ish) there are about five Subways in my town, and I’m somewhat proud to
say that I have visited all of them, and broken them down into their pros and
cons, because, well why the hell not and I have an afternoon to slaughter.
Below is a review of subway locations in my home town that I have
currently visited.
Broad Street mall – This is next to a model or collectors shop,
which has the weirdest assortment of stuff I have ever seen, there is crap in
there I suppose I could call ‘toys’ but I may get beaten to death by strategy
board gamers, or whatever the hell they want to call themselves. Anyway to the
subway itself, it is surprisingly large inside, as from the dirty and cramped
outside (a busy bus stop on its doorstep) on the inside, it stretches roughly
25feet and has a decent amount of seating, the window seats are rubbish though
as they are often taken up by people wanting somewhere to sit whilst waiting
for the bus (not that the view is mush to speak of) it has an average speed
staff to cope with the large ques, which is good the down side mainly being
that by far it is the hottest subway in the entire town and that some of the
staff just guess at your order
Gun street – annoyingly no guns on sale there, clearly the damn
should be changed to something more appropriate like watch where the hell you
step street, nowhere else in my town is there a more uneven road, it is a pain
in the arse even when sober to walk down it. Anyway, this subway has to be one
of my favourite subways in all of Reading by no means is it the largest, there
are only four tables and maybe 12 chairs but the people who work there are the
nicest people I’ve met and they actually listen your order And better yet they
are the most likely to offer extra cheese for free should you not have salad –
as salad is gay – so if you’re new to subway then that is the best place to
start as there is often almost no que so take you time.
Reading Station – Only found this one recently, within the last
month actually and I have to say it has the nicest bread... ever! All the other
places the staff have a tendency to mess up the bread either because the toaster
is set weird or they end up crushing it, so your epic sandwich is now a mush. Along
the other draw backs are that it’s in the station so often busy, the view can
be nice sometimes if it’s sunny out and during the festival otherwise it’s a
bloody train station you get what you see. Another problem is that the staff
doesn’t listen and there is a marginal mark up in price. And when I say they don’t
listen I mean they don’t understand, how hard is chicken and cheese toasted
difficult not only did I get a lot of what’s? Back at me but also I ended up
getting a double cheese AND double chicken it was the biggest and most difficult
sandwich to eat EVER! The other reason why it was a difficult sandwich is that I
got charged £8.90! I was on my lunch break so I couldn’t even send it back.
Riverside – this is the best one if you aren’t eating alone like a
loner as it has star buck esquire comfy seats to chow down you tasty nom-wich and
the staff is nice and – if you flirt with the vendors – you can get free
cheese, the issue is that it is surrounded by large offices so the lines are
often long, but the views can be nice as you watch the world go by.
Friar street – This is the worst of the lot though, rude staff,
who don’t listen... I SAID NO SALAD! What do I get salad...Bastards, avoid this
subway.
What’s annoying is that I haven’t visited all the subways in my
town *sad face*, I still have roughly 4-5 more to visit and test the
atmosphere, and I’m sure that there will be new combinations of food I haven’t
tasted yet, which is great I don’t know what my future will hold with regards
to subway.
But I know that there won’t be any salad in it though. Fuck Salad! ¬.¬
