“Ceptional Service and Cellent Food for Years!No, I am not having typing issues. This place will continue to get four star reviews and I will continue to withhold the “Ex” unless something changes.Ft. Bragg has to be an interesting place to work. And I find that this Subway is always interesting. This place has always been one of the cleaner Subways I have visited. And it is in a mall atop a hill on the outskirts of FB. Why does that matter? Not sure. The workers are, to the one, over the years, both interested and disinterested in working there. Can you blame them? But the sandwiches and salads I have received have been a step above most I have received from other Subways in California and Oregon. Why that is is a question I continue to ponder after this last visit.This time, I walked into the same sort of vibe. The only worker on staff (what gives?), was in the corner of the kitchen-area texting. She noted I arrived. She said she would be with me in a minute. Then she kept texting. I am sure this was not a text exchange with corporate about new policies and procedures. And she showed absolutely no concern with texting away until she was done. Perhaps it was about her children. Who knows? She never explained this gap of a few minutes to me. But, when those texts were done, I had her attention (then again, I was the only other person in the room). Sandwich and salad were made. She took note of my requests. All was well. Credit paid. Food given. Food eaten a few hours later. Fine.I suspect that they simply hire good enough workers who do more than good enough work. And that is fine with me. I don’t expect perfection, especially when . . . I . . . am . . . going . . . to . . . Subway. Thing is, there is a bit of an edge to these workers that I find enjoyable. This time I asked if they still had those small packets of croutons (they were, as of this summer, one of the only ones that did). The server said, “No.” I said, “That’s okay. Most of the other Subways have gotten rid of them.” The server replied, "Subway keeps getting rid of a lot of things.” Loved the candor. Sorta’ makes me happy she noticed, and then ignored, me while she finished her texting earlier.Ft. Bragg has the Subway that Mendocino only wishes it had. Then again, that one would probably be filled with insufferably deadbeats driving hand-me-down BMWs! I kid.“
“Please stop raising the minimum wage until these "workers" start doing at LEAST the minimum work required. Why can't they ever get an order right? It's literally their ONLY job!!!!! Do better! 3 cold fries with no salt (I asked for no salt on ONE. How were they already cold???) Didn't give us one of the 4 big macs. I know we should look. We had a HUGE order, and did a quick look. our mistake. Think we're gonna gove McDonald's the boot. Jenny burgers are WAY better. Better service there too. And now, basically the same price with McDonald's ridiculous pricing now.“
“This is the second and more modern incarnation of Taco Bell in Fort Bragg. I miss the older and more laid back version of The Bell, which is now Starbucks. The new venue is designed for the drive-through trade. The tacos and burritos are still quite good for fast food, but the place no longer has the kind of atmosphere that makes me want to dine in and hang out for a leisurely cheap lunch. I feel a bit of pressure to just eat up and get out. But if you're not in a hurry or on a tight budget, there are several really good authentic Mexican restaurants in Fort Bragg I would suggest you try.“
