This is a simple problem with a very simple fix. Subway currently does not allow you to buy their bread without buying a whole sub. This is ludicrous and should be corrected. 

1. Why should customers be punished for liking Subway's product? I thought their delicious Italian Herb and Cheese bread would make my lowly homemade sandwich 20x more delightful... but I was rejected. I wanted to compliment the flavors of my self-acquired deli meats w/ Subway's signature bread but instead was offered only sadness. The employees seemed sad that they couldn't help me.

2. Isn't making money a good thing? Jimmy John's and other chains will sell you bread (day-old bread for just 50 cents!) if you request it, but your franchisees are forced to say "we can charge you for a veggie sub w/ no veggies." Does that make any sense? Take our money! Charge whatever a 6" or 12" bread costs you and enjoy the increased foot traffic to your businesses. If we walk out carrying a Subway branded bag isn't that a win for your corporation?

3. I remember 20 years ago our local rural Subway would sell us 6" breads for $.50 and 12" breads for $1. Apparently something has happened since then in Subway's detached corporate universe because now their franchisees are being told to not accept money from customers that are seeking their products. 

Subway, please just fix this, it would require almost no effort and who knows what sorts of interesting social media concoctions people could create with your signature breads that would ultimately increase your profits. Be reasonable please!
