Quiznos

²⁰¹³⁄₀₁₂
Never been to a Quizno’s, so I didn’t know what to expect. Didn’t know if this was more of a Subway place or a Togo’s, or a mixture of both.
I don’t like cold sandwiches, so I was happy to find meatball on their menu. And then I got bewildered when the woman said that they don’t offer it. Maybe I misunderstood her and maybe she meant that they were out of it. If they don’t offer it, I would hope that they’d update their menu or put up a sign indicating that.
There were 2 people behind the order desk. A man made the sandwiches while the woman took the order and cashed you out. I ordered, and saw the sandwich being made and put through a little conveyer contraption to move the sandwich under a heating element. I thought that the woman would then take the sandwich and check me out. Instead, she waited until 6 – 7 sandwiches were waiting and then she proceeded to use the register. Before then, she took orders. Perhaps that was the most efficient way. I was not impressed.
I just happened to be behind a guy who had just ordered 4 sandwiches for his office. I don’t know if he had a special deal, if he was a special regular customer, or if the register wasn’t set up for his sandwiches, but the woman at the register used a calculator to add up his purchases and then gave him a total. But for me, she did plug in my order on the register.
And the sandwich itself was bland. Severely bland. No seasoning whatsoever bland. I detected no hint of pepper on what I think was some pepper steak.
Disclaimer: I did eat all of it, but in my defense, I had not eaten for 6 hours.

I don’t often frequent chains and when I do, it’s experiences like this that remind me of why I don’t. We get in this line and it’s long so I say to my husband just order me the Italian if you get to the counter, I’ve got to go to the ladies room. So mind you, this Quiznos is attached to the Regions bank. After perusing the bank for like 5 minutes and not finding a toilet, I head to security where I was informed that either a teller or someone from Quiznos could provide a key and directions to the bathroom. That was my first clue, that this whole experience was going to SUCK!!!
Of course, by this time my husband is through the line and god knows he’s looking upset because he just spent close to $ 20 for two puny sandwiches and I say to the cashier that I need to use the bathroom. He completely ignores me and starts ringing up the next person.
We were both starving at that point so we just sat down and ate our sandwiches which were minuscule, soggy, and completely lacking any meaningful flavor. I finally figured out that the toppings were at another station except there were no utensils for them so I don’t’ know how you were supposed to pick them up. I strongly recommend this place if you like to walk a way from an experience completely hungry, unsatisfied, and in sore need of a restroom.
