Subway (not the MTA...)

Today I walked by a Subway shop on the way to class. Well, I didn't walk by one.... I walked by the stupid old guy outside of Columbus Circle, wearing about 17 layers, holding a sign that says "SUBWAY! NOW SERVING BREAKFAST!" and an arrow pointing which way to walk.

First of all, Subway is not "now" serving breakfast. They have been serving breakfast for a while now. Everyone knows that they give you the option of entering the store before 11AM and ordering 5-day-old eggs, fake rubber bacon, and crappy American cheese on a green wrap or their awful-smelling "freshly-baked" bread.
Second of all, I want to know why Subway is advertising their store across the street from their store!? If you want to hire a homeless guy to hold a sign for you on cold, blustery days, at least have the common sense to put him a block away or something... somewhere where he is not in full view of the store. Put him in the middle of Central Park! That would be fun! You get some morning jogger who, for some unknown reason, has a craving for Subway diarrhea and sees the sign then starts running in the direction of the arrow, only to get lost on some trail in the park. Classic!
Anyway... Thirdly, why does Subway feel the need to advertise with such means at all? Listen, you guys have just recently bypassed McDonald's as the number one fast food company in the world. Believe it or not, people, there are now more Subways in the world than McDonald's. I guess this is partly because it is healthier, but also, people are starting to realize that cheap sandwiches are more filling and taste better than tiny burgers and fries that don't even mold or turn stale after being left out, untouched, for years upon years...
But the other thing is, fast food places don't need to advertise anything extra besides the usual billboards and TV ads.... If someone wants fast food they will get it. Why bother wasting 9 dollars an hour on a useless guy when it most likely does not increase your revenue one bit? Stupid people...

Alright, later guys... gotta start paying attention in class now.
