"Today I was craving Subway. Not Wawa or QuickCheck, but Subway. It had been years since I last visited. As a vegan, I don't often go to these kinds of places, but Subway holds a special place in my heart. I used to frequent it when I was vegetarian, ordering a sub with egg patty for protein, spinach, red onions, and BBQ sauce. Those were some great memories. I had hoped that in 2021, I would find a vegan protein option on the menu, but unfortunately, that was not the case. Instead, I ordered a veggie sub with spinach, peppers, banana peppers, red onions, tomatoes, and oil and vinegar on a roasted Italian footlong, paired with a DP to drink. I planned to take my order to go, but I noticed a sudden downpour outside, so I decided to stay and enjoy my meal in the cozy restaurant. Despite the rain, I savored every bite of my fresh, crispy sub as I watched the storm pass by. The only downside was that there was no one to thank as I left. I know Subway has been facing challenges in recent years, with the rise of fast casual dining. Perhaps some changes could help them attract a larger, more diverse audience. Here are a few ideas I have: add vegan options, promote sustainability, update the outdated yellow color scheme, play cooler music, offer nitro ice cream coffee, switch to paper bags instead of plastic. Just a few suggestions. Something about Subway still resonates with me after all these years, and I'm glad I decided to revisit."
