The Sandwich as a Display of Conspicuous Consumption

The thing that annoyed me most today was that Subway have put up their prices. My sandwich of choice (12" chicken teryaki, hearty Italian bread, lettuce, pepper, onion, jalapenos and sweet onion sauce) now costs £4.99. I nearly choked on my tongue when I found out.

I'm hoping it's not going to be the first in a trend. I remember once, a couple of years ago, all the sandwich shops seemed to put their prices up in the same week.

It was most disheartening.
