Im not scared to say it I love a good Subway sandwich. My dad used to take me to the only Subway in town after we went grocery shopping, and I remember tracking my growth based on how much of the toppings I could see over the tall counter. Now, it seems, Subway wants to ruin that experience for future generations. The global chain of faux bodega sandwiches announced a flashy restaurant overhaul on Monday morning. Its called the Fresh Forward design, and currently, its being tested in 1. United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Also, the redesign is bad and wrong. Subways plan to introduce touchscreen ordering kiosks is especially bad and wrong. Among other reasons, Subway is fun because you get to work with a Sandwich Artist to construct a floppy log of meat and veggies before your very eyes. You can see the meatof dubious origin, Id addconveniently laid out on sheets of wax paper. You can inspect the veggiesof dubious age, Im surejust chilling and waiting to be installed on your footlong. Not all Sandwich Artists are cheerful, but hey, at least you two are coming together to create a quick and affordable lunchtime experience. But now, Subway wants to put stupid touchscreen kiosks in its restaurants. They look like the ones you use to get tickets at the movie theater, except sandwich related. Listen to this. You build your order on a smartphone app or kiosk, send it to a work station which, according to Subway, may be in the backroom and then a faceless human slaps together the ingredients without you, leaving you to pick it up at the counter. Like a zombie The new ordering process reminds me of that Starbucks app that lets you order and pay for your coffee from your phone. Even then, you usually have to speak to a barista to make sure youre picking up the right cup of bean water. This new Subway situation sounds unusually anonymous and, frankly, anti American. The restaurant redesign also includes the addition free wi fi, USB charging ports, whole tomatoes on display, and a huge new logo glowing on the wall, lording over you. Subway calls it a Choice Mark. So presumably, you sit down with your laptop or phone, drink in the free internet all day long, while ordering sandwich after sandwich from an app and picking up your food by a damn kiosk where you can order more food. All the while, the Choice Mark looms over your choice filled experience, celebrating a future free of face to face interactions. I dont feel entirely hopeless. After all, the Subway redesign is still being tested and tweaked. Andas the Choice Mark logo suggestsyoull also be able to choose how you experience Subway. The traditional Sandwich Artist experience with the counter and the meats and the veggies isnt going entirely for now, and you dont have to use the smartphone app if you dont want to. Its the principle of the thing that gets me, though. Here goes another vestige of my 9. Maybe Im being conservative, clinging to the past like this. Maybe, in the future, well get all of our meals from apps and kiosks. Maybe we wont even eat food any more, instead drawing our sustenance from daily transfusions of youthful blood. Maybe Richard Nixons head will be president. Anything is possible, I suppose, even bad things. I want to give the new Subway design a chance and plan to do so next time I visit my hometown, Knoxville, where one of the demo restaurants is already up and running. In the meantime, Im following that signature stink down to my local New York City Subway for one last Spicy Italian, a delicious sandwich that I will watch a human being construct with a limited but distinct sense of artistry. Better do it now, while I still can.
