FYI: Be aware the next time you order a "Chicken Bacon Ranch" sub from Subway...

Yeah, I don't have the patience to spell out the full story for you, but I'm basically probably banned from that store now. They overcharged me by a full dollar, and when I inquired about it (after I ate my meal, to allow the line of customers to shrink out of curtesy), I learn that they don't actually include the price of the bacon in the listed price for their "Chicken Bacon Ranch" sandwhch.

Of course, this was insane, and fairly criminal of them. How many people have they ripped off in this manner? If they're going to charge extra for Bacon, why isn't the sandwhich called a Chicken Ranch? In response to that, the manager (clearly stressed out by the size of the line waiting to be served and by the sheer lack of possible retorts one could possibly have for such a question) has the nerve to rudely tell me, "That's the way it is. You're going to have to get back in line and wait your turn if you wish to discuss this further."

Yeah, I lost it. I told him to "F*ck off, you goddamn thief", and left my garbage on the counter at the register. Walked out of there.

I don't recall ever losing my cool in public, but that whole situation really got to me. :frown: What a jerk I am. I know it's only a dollar, but man... it all got to me.

Just carry bacon and cheese with you all the time and you won't have that problem.

So you thought it was a good idea to post how you made an ass out of yourself in public. Good Job.:thumbsup:

I normally set up stands outside of fast food places on the weekend and can make a right smart amount of change...

Don't you pay for the sandwhich when you get it? Thats what we do here. Meaning, if you had any questions about the price, it would have been dealt with before ever recieving it, not after its halfway coming out your ass.

WOW, you made a fool of youself in public for just one dollar. It'd take more than that for me. I thought you were posting about the brown sauce you typically get after eating anything with old ranch dressing.

Thanks for the tip! Really, good stuff.

In the part that I left out of my original post (where I said I didn't feel like posting the whole story at that moment), I did inquire about the pricing at the time of purchase, because it felt high. But I didn't sit there and calculate it down to the penny. The lady simply glanced at the total and said, "Yes, it's right. Subway is expensive these days."

Wow, some of you guys need to lighten up here. The guy's having a rant about something that, personally, I agree with. Yeah, it's only a dollar. But, they shouldn't be charging extra for something that is advertised as coming with the sandwich in the first place.

On the website it says "The Subway® Chicken & Bacon Ranch is made with melted shredded Swiss Cheese, all-white meat chicken breast strips, bacon strips, onion, green pepper strips, black olive slices and carb-controlled ranch dressing. "

I assume the store is not following subway guidelines.

Before today, if you told me that I was going to lose my cool over one dollar, I would have said you're crazy. It was just one of those things. Principle, and the sheer rudeness of the guy not giving me a straight answer and trying to herd my ass to the back of the 20-person line just so we could "discuss" the matter further.

Like I said, I've never done anything like that before. :eek:

Yep that is pretty lame, I must say. Although you did loose your cool, what did the place expect for not telling someone it was extra.

Heh...I got some bacon something wrap there once, and since I don't like bacon, I asked them not to put any bacon in my wrap (thinking this would be the easiest way to order what I wanted without a long explanation). I did want spinach and asked for a few leaves of spinach. She said they would be an extra .60...wtf I thought as I said to her dismayed ...but I am not getting the bacon in the wrap...she said it's still .60....I said forget it...
