What is the fail, then?
I think it’s the comma missing after using “donuts” as a term of address.
The only fail I see is that “We” should be “We’re”.
And that would be everyone else experiencing a not-getting-the-joke fail.
“We now serving espresso” would be better stated as “Now serving espresso” or “We are now serving espresso”. That is the fail.
I’m totally not getting it. Yes, it is not grammatically perfect, but that doesn’t make it funny (as it tends to happen in most ‘fails’ on this website).
My edit would be “We now serve espresso.”
Impressive that they didn’t make the common error of spelling it “expresso.” I guess doughnaughts was too long.
Expresso is an accepted alternate spelling.
So it is, at least in the Random House Unabridged (2006). If the bar keeps getting lowered like this, there will soon be no English Fail Blog.
p.s. The only “expresso” that I recognize is the marker pen marketed by Sanford.
Coding Fail, dammit.
no, it isn’t. it’s espresso. people who say expresso are dumb.
you can say that it’s an accepted alternate spelling, but next we’ll have expecially and excape on that same list, followed by realators and jewlary, and soon enough everyone will sound stupid all the time. please don’t support these wacky alternate spellings.
Doughnuts… not donuts. Silly Americans.
Nice Engrish, though. Or is that caveman English?
have a feeling the poster thought it is supposed to actually be expresso. you fail, blog! although “we now serving” is incorrect, the title leads me to believe that was not the perceived fail.
I’m not sure why people don’t think “we now serving” is enough of an error. If they had the sign professionally printed and have left it up on their building that way for years, then yes, that is a fail. Totally unacceptable, Subway.
Really?! “we now serving” is not obvious enough?
Mmm, I wanting some espresso.
I now laughing at the comments fail.
I.R. Baboon!

Which of those donuts have six grams of fat or less?
They should send Jared on over to give this enterprising franchisee a corporate beatdown.
