I went into a Subway for lunch a while back and saw that they were offering pizza. Who's idea was that? I was confused. Maybe one of the managers of Subway went to Domino's one day for lunch and had a pizza. During that lunch he thought, "Wow. This pizza thing tastes great. We should do that." Nobody had the brains to remind him that they are a sandwich shop, NOT a pizza place.
In all fairness, I have never had pizza from Subway. It may be great, but I'm not willing to take that chance.
In the mail today I got an advertisement from Domino's Pizza. It didn't mention pizza a single time. The entire ad was focused on telling me about their new SUB lineup! Did the manager of Subway get fired and find a new job over at Domino's? Has everyone lost their dang mind?
I'll tell you what. When I want a pizza, I go to a pizza place. When I want a sub sandwich, you guessed it, I go to a sandwich place. I wish some of these places would stop trying to be everything to everyone. They are watering down what they do right and start doing a lot of things wrong. If the crazy guy that made these decisions happens to be reading this I want to say, "Get back to the basics. Do the things you do well, and what made your company a success. If you want pizza, walk across the street and get one at the pizza place, don't make your own."
It won't be long before I go into a Chick-fil-A where they are serving tacos.

I felt the same way when Dairy Queen started serving hot dogs and hamburgers!
Has nobody learned anything from the mistakes that Hardees made in the 90's?
Funny you mention Chick-fil-a and taco's.
My wife says the corp office makes a good fish taco.
I'm totally on the same page, but I did actually eat the Subway pizza one time. It was GOOD!
mmm... chicken tacos!
I'm writing putting that in the suggestion box!
