Well, Quizno's just blew its chance with me
I had a friend go to the new nearby Quizno's for a sub for me, and boy, did they fuck up the order. I gave my friend the order WRITTEN DOWN, mind you.

I asked for a Turkey with Swiss cheese, tomato and mayonnaise, NOT TOASTED.

What I got: a turkey sub, TOASTED, with tomato AND lettuce, no cheese.

Go figure. Their brains must really be up their asses.

They got the ONE chance, and that was it. I hated Quizno's in California, so I guess I'm not going to like them here either. I'll stick to Subway and Papa Gino's.

1. I like Subway anyway...
Quizno's was good starting out, but it just got gross as it went along.
Subway has been consistently good for years.

3. Strange, from Quizno's home base here in Denver..
It's always as good, and they follow directions to the letter.

I guess someone didn't train that maker very well.

Try a different Quizno or come to Colorado.

2. I used to love them.
Particularly their black angus steak sanniches.

Then they started "running out" of sauteed mushrooms and onions around six or seven PM. Habitually.

In all fairness, it's probably the fault of the franchise owner/operator, not the franchise.

5. I've always like them.
And they have this honey mustard stuff you can add to your sandwich, I'm always tempted to stick it in my purse. I love it so much! :9

6. the whole point of quizno's is the toaster
i could do w/out them myself but it isn't fair to criticize them for doing what the whole point of their business model is for them to do

7. Quizno's toasts their sandwiches
If you'd like a non-toasted sandwich, I'd advise you to visit a business that doesn't do so.

8. You might have sent them to Ted Stevens' Quiznos.
Ted's Quiznos is famous for getting things mixed up.

Well, ok -- someone LIKE Ted Stevens.

Since they took your money they ought to make you the sandwich you ordered. Only fair.

12. I'm not a huge fan of Quiznos but anything is better than Subway.
How they manage to make the bread they just pulled out of the oven taste so bland and unnatural is beyond me. Their meats are poor quality, they use yellowing iceberg lettuce and tomatoes that are mealy and not even red. Yuck. Is it really so hard to use some real lettuce and tomatoes that are actually ripe?
