Because the cut offs are too small to realistically do anything with. We're talking roughly an inch of bread here, which is too small to properly fit most of our ingredients on. In addition, if we were to serve such a small sandwich with something such as a plate salad, it would generate complaints as people would want something bigger!

Absolutely agree with you. My staff now ask customers if they need a bag, rather than automatically placing the Sub in one. It shocks me how many people request a bag when they don't need one though! Some people ask for them just to get their money's worth believe it or not. They don't need the bag at all, but they see our not giving them out as us trying to rip them off for some reason!
Every day I see people ask for a bag, then put the Sub in their pocket, in another bag or just take it out and eat it straight away! It does wind me up somewhat!
[quote=lets-go-disco;31851984]My local Subway used to have special bread rolls for the kids packs - they were round and about the size of a large croissant.
Was this just my local branch or did other shops do this too?[quote]
Ahh, the Deli Rolls. We used to use these for the Kids Packs and breakfast sandwiches, but discontinued them around two years ago. The main problem with these was that they were not used for anything else, so most stores either ended up throwing most of them away each morning, or ran out halfway through the day. The quality of the rolls in the UK was also rather variable. In America, they always seemed decent, but over here they were never of the same quality as our bread.
