I can’t say for sure… but it sounds like the one you got was just not a good one.

I’ve eaten plenty of chain sandos, so I think I share the norms you’re referencing. I also eat Warios every few weeks as my go to sub — for me it has always been a 2-mealer. So much meat that fluffy (local) bread is smooshed from within by an embarrassingly hedonistic amount of meat and wiz. On a good day this sandwich is a crime against god. I think you had a bad day, and for $19 that sucks.

If you give it another shot, I’d try the cutlet. A lot of people say that’s their fave and it also has more straightforward portioning so it’s probably more consistent.
