I have just driven past the Springdale Hope Street Subway and see its windows papered over. Apparently it is closed. I hope so. I agree with the other reviewers that the help was far from the best; rude and bristly. When paying good money for a sandwich, one deserves at least a smile and a thank you.
I have been doing business with this particular store for many years. It used to be the only store open after my Saturday night band gig at 2am. So it started out as convenience. But, after a ten year hiatus, as I had moved out of town, I came back, and upon visiting the store, could not have been more disappointed. The help, as I said, was rude, but it was more than that. The bread was stale, the proteins chancy. The last straw came when I tried to use the rest room, only to be rudely told that it was closed.
Subway is clearly going the way of so many ‘mature’ establishments. They have grown complacent and obviously don’t care about their customers any longer. Strangely, it seems that they don’t care about making a profit either.
I wish them well in the company of Boston Market, TGI Fridays, Sears, and all the other companies who thought it wouldn’t happen to ygg HR rn.
