Subway My Divinty

So this is two months old - I've just finished it - there’ll be a few more coming up so stay tuned and keep linking.

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! ¬.¬
