Why do deals keep being posted if they are gunna be dicks about it?
Because ozbargainers actually benefit from these deals. +53 votes at the moment — so people must like it. Also note that for a big merchant — Subway in this case is owned by DAI, obviously operated different from their IP department, their marketing departments and their individual franchise. For example we even have someone at Subway Beverley Hills posting a deal here with a link to their flyer.
Mother of god the advertisement block on the right side below search bar is godlike?
I'm looking at this post and it shows me the subway advertisement. The other post on another tab I was looking at the officeworks telstra phone and it shows me telstra advertisement.
Does anyone know which advertising company is that?
EDIT:
Or maybe just pure luck. Not happening anymore
Or they're trying to throw you off the scent!
maybe… just maybe…
It shows me this now on this page:
5 Veggies That KILL Stomach Fat. lol
just paused adblock - im getting that too lol
having adblock really makes you forget how much ads suck. especially youtube ads.
Show Scotty some love and disable adblock on OB.
You don't even need adblock on OzBargain - you can disable advertisements in your account settings. Maybe scotty would rather show us some love, rather than vice versa? ;-)
@ProspectiveDarkness - He did, it's called OzBargain.
Google advertising detects the content on the page and displays relevant advertisements.
Do note that Google sometimes show "re-targetting" ads. If you've recently been on some website, and you might find that web site's ads sort of stick around even on pages that have no relevance. I think you might be able to disable this behaviour from your Google profile though.
And how much is avocado regularly?
75c/$1.50 for 6" and footlong respectively. Not much but usually enough to push the total cost of my psychological 'lunch spend' threshold.
I know eh, on a friday night I wouldn't care about 3x $20 drinks which are probably costing about $2 to pour but on a lunch day the difference between the a $7 sub and $10 sub is mind boggling.
atleast your local subway still has $7 subs. My local one has upped the base one to $7.20 : (
I think it differs per a store. A local one here is $1 and $2.
When I worked at Subway years ago, the boss supposedly had some flexibility with the setting of prices, as opposed to what I believe is the arrangement at some places such as Maccas.
I was in there the other day and it said $1 for six inch or $2 for footlong. No thanks!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Remember to only activate it when you know you will be having Subway. You're allowed to activate it up until 3rd February, but once you activate the voucher (ie download it or have it MMS'd to you I presume) it will only be valid for 12hrs from that time. :)
Remember it's blended folks!
with what?
Nothing at Subway is actually fresh except the bread.
Yep worked at subway. Nothing is fresh. Bread comes in pre-made frozen dough sticks that stay in the freezer for months until you need to bake them which you place on the tray and into the oven. All the salads come in preserved bags with only the cucumber and tomatoes needing to be cut with a machine. Mind you none of these are washed. Moldy, dropped on the ground, dusty, bugs; boss says "everything must go in except for the obviously bad ones".
Never ever be the first ones in the morning or last in the arvo. Meat from previous day is re-used and placed on top of new. Egg and cheese pretty much re-used over and over until they run out. Not an issue for high turn over stores.
Why not be the last? there's a 3 stage washing system for all subways and they use high grade sanitiser for the last. Doesn't get rinsed off so whatever touches the black boxes, cutting boards, knives etc get soaked in it. Stuff is like Domestos. Stuff made my eyes water and wrecked my hands pretty bad over 2 months. Store had extremely high turn over so putting on gloves was seen as a waste of time. Got so busy at times that we didn't even bother washing the meat boxes and re-used them.
Meat is sometimes left on the counter at the back and whoops, back in the fridge. Flies everywhere.
Oh and the smoothies! They're pre-made packaged as well! We just poured in milk and syrup. THe blender doesn't get washed for hours until we need it again or until the milk gets rank. If there was no time to wash itsused again as it was. Rank milk curds or not.
Oh and how could I forget. Usually people who have the flu are always designated food preppers at the back. Don't wanna scare the customers away heheh yummmmm
I worked there and our store at least wasn't that dodgy. Boss was very strict on the gloves, and you had to wash your hands before putting on a new pair. At high turn over points you'd just keep a few people on the food line and have dedicated till operators, so there was no need to take the gloves off anyway.
From memory (I may be wrong as it's been a while) the sanitiser wasn't the last stage of the wash either, I believe plain water was and I can't say I ever noticed too much issue with the stuff not coming off. I was there for a number of years and had no issues with it hurting my eyes or anything.
I'd assume the meats are fine the next day if the 'throw away dates' are abided to. The bench unit and store itself should all be refrigerated and cooled anyway. None of the stores I have gone into have ever made a big secret of the fact that at the end of the day the meat gets put back and used in the morning. If it was a huge issue I'm sure the health authorities would be right onto it. It's why they have those PITA temperature checks every hour or two. Everything was supposed to be dated once they go into the container, and from memory quite a bit of it based on Subways recommendations was something like 24 - 48 hours or something (item dependant) so the stores don't even have to be that high a turn over really if they plan their prep properly.
Granted, most of the salad and meat come either frozen, bagged or tinned. That said, I'm not sure it's as bad as you make out, at least not at all stores. It's been a number of years since I worked there (capsicum and onions also were hand cut), but I can't imagine much of corporates hygiene rules have changed.
edit: The one thing I'm weary of is early in the morning getting last nights bread. It'll hardly kill you, but it's the one time of day I tend to always get the sub toasted since it's easy enough to not get something baked that morning, and I generally don't bother to ask while ordering.
I have been working with subway for 3years and it varies store by store. Each store is franchisee owned and operated. As you mentioned the cleanliness and hygiene maintained depends on the owner and the manager. I worked for 3 different stores with varying clientele and can say that it is not as bad as u said. Every veggie is fresh as u can see the package date on the bags. I never saw any bugs in any of the vegetables I came across with.
The sanitizer that is used in the last wash cycle can easily be washed off and it keeps the black boxes( a.k.a cambros) safe and hygienic. All one needs to do is to mix right amount of sanitizer in the wash basin.
Wearing gloves is strictly observed be it over the counter or in the back area when u handle a food item.
EACH SUBWAY IS EVALUATED VERY STRICTLY ONCE IN A MONTH AND WILL BE PENALISED OR WARNED IF A PERTICULAR AREA IS OUT OF COMPLIANCE.
only thing they actually cut up are red onions right?
everything else is delivered either frozen or prepackaged to the coolroom.
interesting insight….
"only thing they actually cut up are red onions right?"
Someone else who worked there more recently can probably offer more up to date feedback. When I was there while at Uni (I ended about 2009), the tomato's, capsicum, cucumber and onions were all cut. The lettuce and carrot came in bags, olives, pickles and jalapeños in tins. At the time avocado wasn't an option, but that'd no doubt come pre done.
I think I recall hearing some of the things I used to slice now come pre cut. I'm not sure so again, someone still there can advise further.
Sounds more like your subway and it's employees were dodgy, not subways in general.
Working at Subway currently, I can confirm that Tomato, Capsicum, Onions and Cucumbers are delivered fresh and sliced in store.
Subway are the biggest purchasers of fresh produce in Australia behind only the major supermarkets.
Either you've never had subway or you're really amazing at making sandwiches exactly like subway does…
Sorry but since when are sandwiches in rolls anyway? That's a roll, not a sandwich
Or people don't carry a full stock of the same ingredients they would otherwise order from Subway, with the chicken and the like cooked and ready to go.
I agree with E88. How can you be a ozbargainer and pay for someone cut cut bread in two, add filling and stick it in a bag. You can make a good sandwich for about $1.
I think its the branding that gets people. McDonald's, KFC, Hungry Jacks Pizza Hut, Dominoes, or Subway. There are thousands of other (better) choices, but they don't have the marketing budget.
Yeah I find it hard to reconcile subway with ozbargain
The only time I've ever had a shop made sandwich was on my birthday :)
Along with branding comes reputation. You can get bad staff in any restaurant, but a big-name corporation has a reputation to protect, so they are usually more stringent.
When you hear about a restaurant getting shut down by the health department for having rats in the kitchen or something like that, is it normally a Maccas/KFC/Subway or some random standalone restaurant?
Can we put the avocado on our own sandwiches? Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB-sxHwW2vA
Brilliant!
LOL the attorney.
I don't like how they call it AVO while showing a revolting green paste and avoiding the use of the word avocado.
Makes me wonder what I'm actually getting.
(Especially since their idea of "eating fresh" is meat that is pre-cooked in a factory, frozen, thawed and then reheated in a microwave)
probably something like this (old el paso guacamole):
Avocado (26%),Peas ,Water ,Chopped Tomato (9.9%) ,Onions (7.8%) ,Garlic Puree ,Thickener (Modified Corn Starch) ,Hydrated Jalapeno Pepper (1.1%) ,Emulsifier (Glycerol) ,Salt ,Dried Glucose Syrup ,Acidity Regulator (Glucono-Delta-Lactone) ,Spices ,Sugar ,Dextrose ,Avocado Flavouring ,Lemon Juice Concentrate ,Herbs ,Flavour Enhancer (Monosodium Glutamate) ,Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid) ,Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid) ,Emulsifier (Methylcellulose) ,Garlic Powder ,Lime Flavouring ,Stabiliser (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum) ,Colours (Quinoline Yellow, Brilliant Blue) ,Vegetable Oil
peas, msg and avocado flavouring .. yummm!!!
I notice that it needs two stabilisers…no wonder it's called a sub.
If only it was the deal from last year!!! ummm free subway…
I think i've still got some frozen in the freezer :)Free cookies if you do the survey - although you need a receipt.
nice thumbnail.. :)
