    Way to noisy! Staff may have been rocking, customers not so much.

    This subway has bad customer service, not to mention the fact I tried to tell him that coupons accept a regular roast beef. Instead of looking at the coupon where it stated all the sandwiches that are excluded which is the beast and the garlic they said they only had garlic roast beef? Isn’t the roast beef just on garlic bread? I don’t know but that whole entire team needs to be written up. I buy a regular roast beef sandwich all the time with the coupon. I also called another store to confirm what I said and they confirmed.

    I get at Subway and it’s not going to be the best food but when I ordered an elite sandwich, I didn’t get the extra that” Elite” call for and then when I said something about it, the employees tried to convince me that I did get the sandwich I ordered, but I had to tell them three different times what sandwich I was ordering and they still asked me what made. I wanted on it mine you this was the elite chicken, bacon ranch so the meat that I want on it is in the title. I have worked for Subway for years and know how a sandwich is supposed to be made. The employees did not know how to make it. And continue to tell me that I was wrong. I will not be returning to this location.
