Sub stylist: "Ok now that your sub is done that will be $5.45" me "ya can i get a small bag of chips and a small drink too?" Cashier: "sure your total is now $14.33"

Beyond inflation, their attitude towards the footlong being a "logo" rather than measurement also turned a lot of customers away. People thought of them as scammers.

Reasons 5 dollar footlongs failed: 1. It cost $9 2. It’s 10 inches

No longer $5 footlong: "Sandwiches which experience raised prices due to inflation?" "Unsatisfactory."

Came here to learn why $5 foot long failed. Watched 10 minute video on starting a franchise/inflation. My thirst; not quenched.

"Almost everyone needs to eat". What aren't you telling us

“Try a real nut like peanuts” Peanuts aren’t even real nuts!! I’m just gonna assume this is expert level trolling. Well played, sir.
