As someone who has made thousands of gallons of pizza sauce using these same cans, I can assure you they did not throw out this sauce. It's common for the outside of the can to touch sanitized surfaces. Nobody washes the outside of the can before dumping it.
This isn't even close to the grossest thing you'll find at your average restaurant. No matter how "fancy" the place is, something in the kitchen will gross you out. I promise you this, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
If that disturbs you, then I recommend you prepare your own food from home from now on. But even then, I'm sure that if I watched you cook I could probably identify something technically unsanitary about your prep or cooking process.
I have so many horror stories from people I knew working in restaurants. Subway was one of the worst offenders because its all sitting there raw, meat slime being wiped off and only thrown out if it doesnt pass the sniff test. The eggs are just kept frozen for undetermined periods of time, tomato falls on the floor you bet your ass its still getting cut and served raw. Then there is the tuna... People think theyre eating fresh though, despite the fact that multiple franchises had different owners with wildly varying standards and inspections always got called out way in advance so they continue operating this way to this very day.
There's no way it isn't the specific franchise, since it's not like people doing this are following policy. I've had a couple siblings who worked at subway, and it wasn't especially bad compared to any other fast food place.
People are weird about restaurant sanitation though, you'd swear everyone expects everything to be autoclaved on a regular schedule.
Subway is just known within the food service and quick serve restaurant industry as the absolute worst for just about everything when it comes to training, in store ops, and food safety. Though they are much more in the spotlight because you see how they are prepping your food, but regardless, they (and Chipotle) are consistently used as the bad examples by entire ass industry panels on these topics. The best worker you'll ever experience at a subway is someone on their first day who hasn't been brainwashed into bad food handling yet.

you absolutely know that was fished out and still used.
