I can't figure out what to do in Subway

Whatever you do, make sure to double the *checks notes* marinara sauce

In my more socially anxious days, this was definitely a thing. There are sandwiches to order from the menu, yes, but then they ask you what else you want on it! what if I order some combination of toppings that people think is weird??

Okay first of all, much like I did a few years ago with just an actual yearbook, I put my fingers on my non-touchpad computer screen in an attempt to Enhance this image. Dipshit. Secondly, I do often go to Subway and just get a ton of vegetables and some sauces and it's a passable vegan meal five minutes away.... nb. So just get that, Thorn "OP" Ghost! That's probably cheese there. That's fine. I respect olives. I want to make that clear.
 
As a former sandwich artist, it's regulated but we might add more or less depending on our mood and how we feel about you/this whole situation. (you asking us to make a sandwich)

You could get double meatball but I think that would destroy the coherency of the 'wich and you would regret it...

I always feel self-conscious about how much sauce I want them to blast my sub with. Fortunately, I only go to Subway ~annually, so it doesn't come up often!

Another former sandwich artist, I typically go with roasted chicken with pepperjack on white but I'll mix it up now and again with a club on wheat. I used to be big on the meatball sub but we make superior versions at home now.

I think I only ever get slight variations of an Italian sub. But I can't even remember the last time I went to a Subway. At least 3 years ago...

I usually listen to music. I find that if I read or play mobile games, I risk missing my stop. I do sometimes end up not hearing the conductor's announcements, but that's rarely too big of a problem.

Wait--what are we talking about, again?

Let's get Quizno's instead.

I came across a non-airport quiznos in a small town I was passing through a couple of months ago. Rare as a unicorn these days, need to stop every time.

I miss the one I frequented in college. The owner was always handing out "free upsizes" with the combos. I had no need for a 64 oz mountain dew, but I drank the damn thing.

I prefer Quizno's. Is that even a thing anymore? I like my cheap hoagies blasted in the oven before I eat them.

When I worked at Subway we (workers) could have unlimited fountain drinks. Have to assume pop does not cost franchisees or owners much.
From what I understand from family members who ran restaurants, the syrup used to make fountain sodas is super cheap (cost per drink, that is. The syrup cartridges are a decent price) and the cardboard/plastic cup you use costs more than the drink itself.

And the total of both is still like pennies.
