To each his own. Personally, I usually don't smell anything foul when I
either walk by or go into a Subway sandwich shop. I don't consider
Subway to be a bakery, so I don't expect it to smell the way a bakery
does. Bakeries generally smell yeasty and sweet. Not sure that when I
want the type of sandwich I can get in Subway, I would want a sweet,
yeasty bread.

For me, the advantages of Subway are that for a very economical price, I
get (1) excellent quality control all over the country, and (2) lots of
choices about what does in/on my sandwich, including a lot of low
saturated fat, low sodium ingredients to choose from if that's your
preference.

Your reaction is the one I have when passing chain hamburger joints -
all the chains. To me, the smell from all of them makes me nauseated.
But then again, I really don't like the smell or taste of ground beef.
