**A Lamentation Upon Ye Overpricéd Salad of Kettlemen’s Subway**
*(in the style of Old English-inspired Modern Verse)*
---
O hark! Attend this woeful tale I sing,
Of Subway's hall in Kettlemen, foul thing.
Where hunger led me, weary from the road,
To seek a salad, simple, light of load.
No beastly flesh nor cheeses did I crave,
But greens and herbs, which honest folk dost save.
Yet lo! The screens, once bright with gilded fare,
Were black as night — no prices listed there.
I spake: “Good sir, a salad I do seek,
With but few greens and sauce, so mild and meek.”
He nodded swift and gathered leaf and root,
Sans meat or grain or anything acute.
Yet when the tally came — a grievous sight!
Sixteen gold coins, as if it were a knight’s!
No rib nor roast to justify the fee,
Naught but some lettuce in a bowl for me.
O villainy! O cunning, silent theft!
No cost was shown — I stood there, sore bereft.
The board lay dark, no numbers did it show,
So how should simple folk the pricing know?
Ye subway knights, who dwell in Kettle’s keep,
Thy greed dost wake the lion from his sleep.
Wouldst rob a traveler, worn and poor of soul,
Then smile and drop his silver in thy bowl?
A pox upon thy register and screen,
Thy salad charged like feasts for lords and queens.
I warn thee now — all travelers beware,
Lest ye pay dearly for a breath of air.

*Thus ends my verse, in sadness steeped and long —*
*Subway of Kettlemen, thou did me wrong.*
I walked out of this Subway feeling conned and betrayed. After years of not going, I decided to give it another try, expecting a simple, reliable experience. Instead, I was met with darkened menu screens showing only the Subway logo — no prices, no transparency.
When I got to the register, I was stunned to be charged $13 for a basic veggie salad. With no menu visible, it felt like I was being taken advantage of.
The whole thing left me disappointed and uneasy. Subway is supposed to be a brand you can trust for consistency, but this location felt sketchy, shady, and dishonest. Customers deserve to know what they’ll be paying before they order.

The woman worker there was very nice, had great customer service, but the overall quality of the experience was beyond subpar so I literally cancelled my order before I could even get my bread toasted.
• they had only one promotional cup.(I can accept this.)
• the soda fountain was down
• when I asked if I could possibly get another bag of chips, in order to make up for the lack of available soda, I was declined. Lowest quality possible customer service exhibited here on display. As I’ve worked customer service, also food service for years. I would accommodate my customers since it was our shortcoming which made, and this case broke the experience.
Also,
The store also had a broken retarder, and so the veggies and all topping were hidden behind a metal refrigerator lid, further removing me from the subway experience I have come to expect over the years.
And above all, they had no tomatoes, no olives, and no jalapenos. Long story short I won’t be going to this subway anymore. And in fact I’m just gonna make my own chicken bacon ranch at home. For cheaper. And it’ll be better. Thanks for nothing subway.

They accepted my online order for pick up at 7:35 PM. I reached there at 7:30 PM to pick it up and was surprised to see nobody working! The impolite lady said they closed at 8 PM and despite it was only 7:35 PM flatly declined to prepare my order!
This place is a fraud.
