Summary

Sign up for our Patreon to support what we do! https://www.patreon.com/iilluminaughtii Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die. Subway is one of the largest chains out there—but not by profit. You might think that makes them successful, to have so many stores open. Instead, the opposite is true. Not only do they exploit franchisees, but Subway has consistently proven they care more about profit than customers and their well-being.

0:00.0	You have to enjoy making your voice be heard to getting exactly what you want, especially when you eat.
0:08.0	At subway restaurants, you choose your freshly baked bread, meat, cheese and veggies to make a sub that's just right.

0:24.6	getting a subway out on this very video too. They're probably showing you warm,
0:28.1	toasted bread, deli meat, all folded up like little ribbons and fresh
0:31.7	veggies all crisp and green.
0:33.2	You know, subway, eat fresh, that whole saying, right?
0:36.9	It just depends on what your definition of fresh actually is, I guess.
0:40.2	If three-week-old lettuce, 10-to-15-day-old produce and pre-processed chicken is fresh,
0:44.8	then they are absolutely not stretching the truth at all.
0:48.1	But if you'd like chemicals used in yoga mats and shoe soles out of your bread,
0:52.3	then maybe you in subway have a different definition.
0:55.2	Yet Subway is still the largest chain in the US, not in revenue, but in number. They have over 20,000 locations in total.
1:03.0	Financially, they don't seem to be well off.
1:06.0	The $10 billion company is seeking a buyer,
1:08.0	and though they claim to be earning more money,
1:10.0	price hikes and inflation likely boosted their numbers.
1:14.4	Subway hasn't been discouraged, though, and they've actually started to remodel themselves in the
1:18.2	past year or so.
1:19.6	The design is called a fresh forward design, which I find hilariously ironic and hypocritical
