why does subway smell so subway-y

I hate that smell, too! I hate the food but even if I loved it I would never go in because of the stink.

I stopped going to Starbucks for the same reason.

+1 I've gotten used to it but have never gotten used to a K Mart.

PP here. That's a good description, although it smells like cheap candy to me.

CVS also has those yucky grey carpets. They're like old outdoor porch carpeting. You'd think that they would come up with a new look, because it makes the pharmacies look and feel dirty even if they aren't.[/quote

CVS does seem like a dirty convenience store because of the gross carpet.
