They are surprisingly busy because they are the only joint in town.

That makes sense. Still creeps me out, but that’s probably just my aversion to Subway in general.

Which city are you in? Because I just punched in your exact order in my app for pickup in Lafayette and the total was $12.28. Did you add any extras?

$17.84 for a chicken rotisserie wrap

Go to grocery store and buy the ingredients. It's one of those things that don't make sense to me like bottled water.

I’ve always wondered how subway manages to stay in business even before all this price hiking. Idk anyone who eats there. You can make a ten times better sandwich at home.

Here is a recent article about Subway.

In responses to the original post in 2006, people identifying themselves as Subway franchisees or Subway employees familiar with franchise operations provided various profit estimates.

Some said franchisees should expect to see 20% profit margins. Tightly managed shops can push 25% cash flow, and ones with weaker operations might clear only 15% a year.

That means a location on the high end of the sales chart might throw off $150,000 a year or more. A struggling Subway in a low sales location might clear as little as $40,000.

Went to Am Mart today for $12. OP played himself.

Meanwhile I know where to get fat poboys for less than $10.
