I enjoy Quiznos. I liked them when they had Spongmonkeys as spokes-things. We just recently got a new one near the house, and we've gone there twice. The first time was only the second day they'd been open, and it showed. It was totally chaotic, and even the manager was muttering about his head exploding. What can I say, it's a popular sub shop. We overlooked a lot since it was brand new. Over the weekend we went again. They'd been open all of an hour and a half when we got there. It looked like a tornado had hit the place. Not a clean table in the place, no lemonade left, and the floor was a wreck. If you've been to Quiznos, you know how labor heavy the operation is. No less than 5 people behind the counter making sandwiches and each of them has a specific role. None of them seem to be the cleaning role. I doubt we'll go back to that store, even if it is convenient. The scuzz factor tends to skeeve me out. Makes you wonder though, is that the reason why Quiznos is more expensive than Subway? It's supposedly quality of meats and vegetables, but I think it's more about the amount of people working. Most Subways can get by with two people most of the time, but Quiznos has tons of people all the time. At least they could keep the place tidy...
