tuna sandwich for about $5.25.

Then Subway decided to hire multi-millionaire NBA and NFL stars (Mahomes, Curry, LeBron, etc) to advertise their sammiches, and I'm not going t pay over $7 bucks for that same little sandwich.

What are they thinking hiring expensive talking heads to send lunch costs off the charts with their enormous fees?
