Either somebody at Subway or their PR firm got paid off to allow this to happen or their blind love of the mystery man drove this. Subway is already being harmed and the announcement is only a few days old. What the campaign does, among other things, is no implicitly suggest that Subway’s food had something wrong with it!

Their food was mushy and mediocre at best. Maybe it’ll be the same food, just with First Dieter Michelle’s face menacing from the wallpaper.

Whoever runs their ad campaings and the management that allowed this to happen should be canned and the campaign retracted asap (find a reason - say you don’t want to show political bias) or the Subway will find itself on the skids.

They’ve been very busy keeping their FB page “clean”...the vast majority of the comments are now “positive” and directed towards “hateful” conservatives...it was quite different a few days ago when news of this first broke...

I already contacted their customer service and told them I won’t support a business that teams up with a lying, damnable hypocrite like her...

LOL my SIL is a club pro.
In 2011 he tabulated that Caliph Baraq played more rounds than he did.

Mine too, in some ways. Hard to find a large hoagie sandwich anywhere else for $5 or less.

This could go down as one of the greatest advertising blunders since Netflix.

Exactly. I even respected them for not bowing to pressure to drop Phelps.(although I think Phelps is not a very exciting spokesperson to have) If I walk into a Subway and see a picture of her, then I will turn around and probably skip lunch.

speaking of the Vietnamse and sub sandwhiches, I've noticed that the Cambodians here in the Northwest seem to make the best donuts around.....in Spokane, Everett, and Seattle....

to add to the refrain, Subway can do whatever they want....so can I ....so no more Subway and I loved their cold cut combos with oil and vinegar...

Easy enough to make for yourself at home if you get some nice rolls and fresh sliced deli meat. I sprinkle a little oregano on too.

Went to my brokerage to short the stock and discovered that Subway is a private company.

Subway's sales will most likely tank as nobody appreciates another act of entitlement for Michele and most are really tired of her overexposure.

IIRC it’s called Doctor’s Associates and was started as a tax write-off by a group of dentists, physicians and chiropractors.

Doesn’t seem like much of a write off now. Bet they are sorry they tried that.
