This is trumped by state and federal "bait-and-switch" laws. If you advertise the price of a Chicken Bacon Ranch sammich at $5.99, and then charge extra $1 for the bacon which wasn't clearly marked on the pricing menu chances are good it's illegal. Screw corporate, call your Better Business Bureau. They'll be able to tell you pretty quick how legit it is, and if it's illegal they'll tell you who to call to bring the rain of legal hellfire upon the store.

Actually you're wrong. They ripped him off and if he reports them through the Subway website, the owner of that Subway will get a letter from Subway with a copy of the complaint and asking him/her to resolve the situation.

They are breaking Subway guidelines and if the monthly Subway inspector notices this they will be marked on it for being out of spec.

I know all this because my friend owns a Subway.

Hell, my friend got marked out of spec by the Subway inspector because he was missing one of the toys in the display case and another time because the toaster was off and it's supposed to be on all day according to Subway guidelines.

Dude we're just pushing his buttons:shocked:

I thought you just got some sand in a few uncomfortable places.
See what you get for trying to think?;)

Yeah, it was my intention to "show them". It's just a rant. STFU.
So you thought it was a good idea to post how you made an ass out of yourself in public. Good Job.:thumbsup:

I find it utterly amazing that although I rarely visit these forums, I can always count on seeing one of your beautifully insightful posts. :hands you the "Most Consistent Forum Ass" award:
That's because so many idiots like yourself feel the need to post something about his/her extremely mundane life mistakenly believing that it might be of interest to others.

Hey my life isn't all that interesting either but you don't see me creating threads about some minor irritants that's part of everybodies daily life. You see I understand that it's really not interesting and I don't try to waste the time of others by creating a thread about them.

Yeah, what you do is much better. Making 33,000 posts pointing out what douches people are. Kept it up, Champ.

While I may disagree with what Red Dawn says a lot of the time, he seems like an intelligent guy. Rarely do I see him so thoroughly owned.

Red, how you can post inane crap berating people for posting inane crap is beyond me.

nothing wrong with gang pile on someone, some people like to do it like this, others are waiting for unsuspecting posters who post pictures of their gf/wife..etc

take it like a man, if you're posting on a public forum, expect any comments.

CLERK: Oh! Well, we have quite a few to pick from ( turns around and picks up a huge binder) They're arranged in order of price , the most expensive are in the front.
(George takes the binder and feigns browsing and flips right to the last page.)
GEORGE: He..hmmm. humm...What about this one.
CLERK: Hmmm,..to tell you the truth they haven't manufactured that one for a number of years. I might have couple of boxes left in our warehouse in New Jersey. I'd have to check.
SUSAN: Oh! no. George that's so ugly we don't want that.
GEORGE: What's the difference you just read it and mail it right back. These we'll do.
SUSAN: Why don't they make'em anymore?
CLERK: Well.. For one thing the glue isn't very adhesive. It takes a lot of moisture to make them stick.
GEORGE: So we pick up some glue

And if you dish it out you better be able to take it yourself. That's why I don't mind getting "Owned" on occasion, especially if it's good ownage!

And now the world is a better place because you yelled at a minimum wage worker over a piece of bacon.
