Subway — Restaurant in Calgary

I’m new to the Glamorgan Manor neighborhood, so I thought I’d check out the local Subway on Richmond Rd. Mistake. Horror show. Here’s what went down:

🥪 THE ORDER GONE WRONG I asked for roast beef, extra veggies, no onions. The person behind the counter stared at me with dead eyes for thirty seconds, then handed me a sandwich stuffed with exactly 42 pickles and no lettuce. When I asked them to fix it, they whispered, “This is what you meant,” and slid the sandwich back without blinking.

🦇 THE ATMOSPHERE The fluorescent lights flickered intermittently, casting long, skeletal shadows behind me. The floor was sticky in places—coffee rings, or something else? I couldn’t tell. A motley crew of regulars sat in silent communion, chewing quietly as if they shared a secret about the bread.

🧛 THE STAFF One worker wore a headset but never spoke into it—just stared at the wall and nodded. Another handed me a water cup and said, “It’s for your tears.” I laughed. They didn’t.

😵 THE BREAD I finally took a bite. The bread was soaked. Not wet—it felt soaked in something that tasted like stale fabric and regret.

I paid and left with a racing heartbeat, convinced I’d just stolen away from a subterranean cult disguised as a sandwich shop.

One star is too generous. Zero would be pushing it. If you want food and a full-body existential crisis, this is your stop. Otherwise, run—don’t walk—the...

Very clean and friendly! I picked up a sub here yesterday and was really impressed.

I went in after the lunch rush, so it was empty, yet the staff were still diligently their wearing masks (unlike many other restaurants I’ve picked up from lately). They were busy cleaning, and it looked like they keep the place tip-top.

The young woman who prepared my sub was very friendly, and she really put the “artist” in Sandwich Artist. Most people may not care or even notice, but I appreciate her attention to detail - right down to the veggie placement and a perfect wrap on the sub. It reminded me of the saying, “Any job worth doing is worth doing well.” She made a damn good sub!

In the future, I’ll go out of my way to go to this particular Subway...

The older gentleman taking my order was fantastic since I was 20 seconds indecisive. What ruined it was the younger guy who laughed at me speaking Spanish and then slapped the last part together. When I paid I could tell the older gentleman was as irritated as me.. hope they take my date and time into consideration because the young guy working was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! So sad to walk in for a sandwich and have a little punk make fun of you. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope the company recognizes who they pay for such “staff” disgusting.

Only getting 2 stars because the elder man...
