11 dollars with tax for a Jimmy John's sub?

The fuck.

Like what the actual.

What is costing so much?

There's no way there's even a 1/4lb of meat on the sandwich

and it's sliced wheat bread ya'll. I can make like 10 of these for 11 bucks.

Would they be mad if I set up a sandwich cart in the parking lot next door and sold all the same kinds of sandwiches for 6 bucks?

@MrGoat I'm not familiar with Jimmy John's but I'm guessing it's not gourmet?๐Ÿค”

@MrGoat oh, yeah, Subway's footlongs start around $10 now. In Missouri, not CA or NY.

@MrGoat

If I lived near you, I'd be on my way with a table, all the fixings, and several cases of beer. I ran a lemonade stand as a kid, I know how to get it done, Mr. G.

@MrGoat

True story. I was 8 and I set up a table outside a factory on a 98 degree day, on payday.

@JoyfullyDazed If it's there a lot of folks will take a look at the least. If they see someone getting something they'll show more interest and possibly buy too.

@MrGoat Subway footlong BLT (not the extra one, just the classic). is $9.39.

A "Veggie Delight" (all veg, no meat) $8.39

Oh, and tax will take it up over $11.

@MrGoat Ok, fun fact...I lived for many years in the town where JJ's was founded. As a student I ate their much cheaper priced sandwiches as did many faculty and staff of that same school. Dude that started the shop grew it in to the chain that it is nw but moved his corp headquarters from IL to FL as the state was taxing him too much. Big conservative always whining about taxes, unions, etc. Funny how those people were the ones who made enough money to afford his lousy frigging sandwiches.

@MrGoat Oh, and their original store had a neon sign that offered "Free Smells." One night a liquored up buddy of mine walked in, ripped an epic fart and said he wanted to return the favor.

@MrGoat

ALL food places have gotten significantly more expensive. I guess Arby's and MCDonald's are still cheapish.

@MrGoat 5 Guys is even higher. I have not bought a lunch for myself in a year or two that was under $10. And I'm talking regular fast food places.
