It should be 50 cents max for 2 reasons.

- Their cheese quality is not the best.
- transporationcosts have gone down dramatically in the last two years

Unless of course they are paying someone $12-$15 an hour.

Even with costs going up, that seems high. Their subs have steadily been going up to where we never go there anymore. Though we didnt eat there often before either. I always ask about extra charges and how much it is before ordering so i know. Usually never order extra anything because its always much more.

Not really.

Oh, and before I ordered coffee I asked if they had half and half for it.
She said yes.
Then she gives me coffee with artificial creamer.
It took about nine of those super tiny creamers to get my coffee to the desired lightness, sort of the color you get at Dunkin Donuts.

We never went back.
Ignorant stingy jerks, really!
The best is when they throw in a single napkin with your footlong sub.

If extra cheese used to cost 50 cents and now costs $1.50 that is a 3X increase. I don't know where you live but where I am gas has been going down and it's been many years since the price tripled

Nationwide, the price of gas: $3.5-$4 . I'd hardly call that going down. That's nearly 3x what gasoline used to cost in 2000.

I think we were talking about the price of cheese increasing within the past year or two at the most, that is hardly the equivalent of comparing that increase to what gas cost 15 years ago.

The OP said a long time ago. It's not clear what he meant.

However, Gasoline definitely wasn't going down by any decent amount anywhere in the nation. It was 2x the price of just a few years prior ($4 vs $2).
