THE STORY BEHIND "THANK YOU SUBWAY"           Click This for our other WebSite

 

There were this group of guys that came in to the deli to eat all the time. They were always dressed up and smelt of cologne. One day they came in and one of the men said: "When I put money in the bowl say: "Subway!" I asked as an innocent, naive guy what that meant. He told me in the early fifties if you gave a deli man a nickel before he made you a sandwich the man would bang on the counter to show his boss he wasn't stealing, make the sandwich and use that nickel to take the subway home.
I liked the idea and started to say it every time a customer gave us a tip. In the 1970's it became a usual routine in the deli and workers started to yell it out every time a customer put a tip in the tip jar.
The habit has followed John's Famous Deli for forty years and every day people love to hear the phrase:
"Thank You Subway!"
