You eat lunch everyday, right? Do you ever eat sandwiches? Maybe you eat peanut butter and jelly? Or maybe you eat turkey and
cheese? I love to eat sandwiches for lunch or dinner, but I have to warn you – if you want a really good sandwich don’t eat at Subway. I
think Subway has the worst sandwiches ever. Don’t waste your money!
One reason I think you should not go to Subway is because their food looks gross. For example, when you look at the meat it looks slimy and too shiny. Who wants to eat slimy looking meat? Not me! Also, their vegetables sometimes turn brown. Last time my friend had a
sandwich from Subway we found brown lettuce. Gross!
Another reason you shouldn’t go to Subway is because when you walk into their store it smells weird. Last time I went to the store I had to hold
my nose the whole time. Also, have you also ever realized when you leave you smell like the store? I
don’t want to smell weird.
Most importantly, I think you shouldn’t go to Subway for a sandwich
because you can get a better sandwich for less money at your corner deli. For example, when you go to subway they only give you two pieces of meat and two pieces of cheese on your sandwich. When you go to the deli they put a ton of meat and cheese until it almost overflows! One time I had a deli sandwich
and I could hardly bit it because it was piled high with delicious cheese and turkey.

I don’t recommend Subway sandwiches for anyone! Parents don’t take your kids to Subway because it’s a waste of
money, it smells, and it looks gross. You should go to your local deli instead to get a really great sandwich. I give Subway one star out of five.
