How can it possibly be seen as somehow "screwing" Subway if you order a sandwich, pay the price they ask, and let them keep the most expensive ingredient?
I guess Subway should refuse to allow any ingredients to be removed from the daily special. They should send an employee out to the dining room to assure the customers eat the sandwiches without picking anything off. That's the only way to prevent the egregious cheating that has now been brought to light. Maybe they could staple the sandwiches together as an added deterrent.
Want fair pricing? Charge a la carte for each ingredient and let customers order exactly what they want.
He did NOT pay the price they asked, he wanted a VEGETARIAN SUB for the price of the Roast Beef sandwich which was on sale. He then made a post saying he was told NO several times, and then after nagging them and trying to find a way to get a Veggie for cheaper then the menu price, and joked about sticking it to them. Just because a Chevy Malibu has a $2,000 dollar rebate does not mean the Corvette does. The very fact Al says he was sticking it to the man, means he probably realizes he was screwing them. You wanna stick it to someone, stick it to Enron, instead of some poor soul that owns a Subway.
But hey I am not going to stress out about this anymore, honestly I have been torn up about this all day, if you get off on giving someone serving your food hell, and doing everything possible to save a few pennies so be it. You wanna be known as the local ******* that does that stuff so be it.
I wish I could tell you how many times and the stories, where I have had employees come to me crying because of dealing with stuff like this, and having someone raise hell with them over pennies, and then they quit their job because the stress is to much.
And one last thing, AL I have nothing against you, I enjoy your post and your surfing trip log, and I hope people reading this thread will at least consider, Whether you agree with me or not, that this is very annoying and one of the biggest pet peeves in the food industry, that you are ruining people's days by doing this. We would almost rather you come in and just spit in our face then argue with us about our special or what we serve.
(O yea AL, just maybe mention next time if they would mind putting the Veggie on special sometime)
