Subway — Restaurant in Parksville

The Most Joyless Sandwich in Parkville

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to order a sandwich in a Soviet breadline but with more options for cheese, look no further than the Subway in Parkville.

The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with… nothing. No “hello,” no smile, just a silent, unspoken agreement that your only purpose in life is to tell them what meat you want, in the exact number of seconds they’ve allotted you, or risk the Wrath of the Subway Staff.

It’s honestly impressive how synchronized their stone-faced stares are. One person slices bread like it personally wronged them, another slams the lettuce on your sub as if they’re punishing it for existing. Nobody says a word unless absolutely necessary, and when they do, it’s delivered in a tone that suggests they’re counting the days until they’re free from this deli dungeon.

I tried smiling to break the tension, but they looked at me like I’d just threatened to rob the place.

If you like your sandwiches with a side of existential despair, Parkville Subway is the destination. Just don’t expect any joy, eye contact, or human warmth. 5/10 for efficiency,...

The person seemed very unskilled at his job and I had to repeat myself several times about what I wanted, simple things like the bread and it being toasted. The veggies also seemed in bad condition, they were NOT fresh and I could see they were frozen. I couldnt even get lettuce because it was brown and other veggies looked gross. Instead of them cleaning the floors 2 hours before they close why not check if the food is prepared properly? The dressing is bad and leaves a smell which is hard to get rid of and after eating it I didnt feel that good. I am not going back to this store it was a...

The staff member was wearing his "protective" mask under his nose! More of a beard cover really. He was really bad at making the sandwich. Threw the ingredients on the bread, tossed the cheese across the table to return it to it's insert and had to redo wrapping the sandwiches each twice! After all that he took my coupon and didnt even apply it. To end the experience, he left my bag "inside" the plexiglass shield so I could barely reach it, told me to have a good day and walked away! Never had such a bad subway experience, will never...
