This past Friday, I headed out for lunch to Mr. Sub (14760 Yonge Street, Aurora) for a little old fashioned Mr. Sub footlong sandwich that I remember devouring as a teen.
I arrived with a coworker to a well staffed store of three workers just moving customers through like no tomorrow. The franchisee, Arthur, took my order immediately.
The Order: Foot long Assorted Cold cuts on Whole Wheat Bread with Sour Cream & Onion Potato chips and a can of Coke.
I was in and out of the store in less than 5 minutes with my order, not too shabby. This is a significant improvement over some sandwich shops who only have one or two employees working behind the counter and it seems to take forever for them to power through a lunch time line up.
The surprise came at the cash register, the final price for a basic Assorted combo after taxes was $10.11. This seems a little steep considering the equivalent sandwich at Subway, which has a location just down the street, for $5.00 plus tax.
The sandwich itself was just as I remembered it. A healthy combination of vegetables, meat and bread with a side of guilty pleasures in potato chips and a refreshing can of Coke.
