Subway Is Bringing Back These Menu Items After Angry Complaints

When fast-food chain Subway decided to remove the rotisserie chicken sandwich and the roast beef sandwich from its menu last year, customers and even operators were baffled by the decision. According to some employees, the rotisserie chicken sandwich was, in fact, one of the chain's top-selling items, so the decision to discontinue it while keeping some less popular items on the menu seemed odd.The sandwiches were removed from menus in June, and while an official reason was never given for the move, the fact that rotisserie chicken and roast beef were two of the most expensive proteins on Subway's menu may have had something to do with it, according to Business Insider.RELATED: 7 New Fast-Food Chicken Sandwiches Everyone's Talking AboutIn the wake of months of complaints and requests to bring one or both items back, many in the form of Tweets aimed at the chain, Subway has finally relented.
