I'm always amazed when people write in to one of these polls & recommend a national chain. I went to Subway once many years ago when they opened their 1st store here in Rochester, I haven't been back since. Its a turn off for me when they start weighing out each slice of meat & take a slice off if they have too much on there. Give me a mom & pop operation where they just pile the meat on till its falling off. I'll take a little mom & pop store over a national chain every time. They are there in every community you have to hunt them out its just a little more work finding them. Originally Posted by nyguyA chain can be good.
