I can spend less than $11 and make a giant hoagie at home that's the ssme or better quality than the shop selling me a 6 inch sub for $11.

That gets me a loaf of bread, a smoked sausage, cheese and I'll even have money to spare for tomatoes.

I can have several sandwiches.

Yes, you can save a bit of money and make something better at home, it may well be recommended.

But, that $11 doesn't cover just the ingredients. It covers the time and effort you spent planning groceries, getting the groceries, 15 min making the hoagie, and perhaps packing it and bringing it to where you are. Consider how much you think your current job should be paying you and apply it to that whole process. All of that is what you're spending instead of the $11. And for a lot of people that's time well spent for sure, but it's still time and effort that's worth more than most give credit.

So you're the asshole extorting people for sandwiches at $11 a pop!
