Title: Boycotting
Post by: Amber on February 10, 2009, 11:10:01 AM
I'm boycotting Subway until this new Five Dollar foot long promotion is over.  Let me set the scenario here.

Beau and I decided we wanted Subway for lunch.  No big deal, I was already heading over to Walmart to get a new wiper blade, and so I figured I would stop by in the subway we have there in Walmart.  Now I normally get the Black Forest Ham footlong (Five dollars) and add salami to it (2 dollars for double meat on a footlong sandwich).  I go in today, to get what I normally get, and I get told, that in order to have salami on my sandwich, they need to charge me five dollars for a whole other sandwich.  Obviously, this is dumb as all get out, and I tell the Lady that, but she doesn't care.  I end up with just a ham sandwich basically, because I wasn't paying ten dollars for a sandwich when I can go to Walmart and get everything I need for a subway sandwich for less than ten dollars.

Needless to say, I fired off a comment to subway as soon as I got home, because the whole idea of 5 dollar footlongs is to save people money (which is required nowadays with this economy), and instead, Subway is trying to screw over their customers.

Boycotting!

I would have gone to another Subway.  However, the same people own both of the subways which are literally (and I am not joking) less than a quarter mile apart.  And we only have two subways without me having to go out of town for lunch.  I just took the ham, and left, fired off an email to Subway about how much this idea sucks, and left it at that.

Dude was only doing his job.

He doesn't make the rules, he makes 6 bucks an hour.  It's the person who makes the policy that is the issue.

I've never had trouble at Subway myself, but all I want is extra cucumber on my sandwich and they happily give it to me.

One thing I've noticed about Wal-Marts in general.  The Fast foods within them, are allowed to operate under different rules.  We have Mc Donalds in ours, and their prices are always hire.  Try a subway away from a Wal-Mart, may have better luck.  Just a thought.

Actually, if you kill them on the other side of the sneeze guard, it will protect just fine.  Just have to watch the area between the glass and the counter where the gap is.

( since I have a few seconds before dressing a four year old to go to the park))..... if they have previously charged you the two extra dollars for double meat you need to enquire about a possible policy change... but still in all retail circuts the general policy is customer first. which means even if you know its against policy at times you have to bend that rule to keep customer satisfaction in the proper venue which is what should have been done at this point. this where also keeping reciepts becomes paramount because if you have proof that this is how the previous meals were purchased and served then they have to honor it... its their reciept and thus can't be disputed..  I personally don't eat at subway simply for the reason that they do use stablizers in their bread dough.  all of their meats are NOT cut on site and most of their veggies are sprayed with a product called stay fresh which is a chemical to retard the natural process of cellular break down....so basically... your getting all this stuff that is supposed to be nutritional but its covered in artificial preservatives and synthetic chemicals..while i realize we use alot of things simply as a convience... one thing that I have noticed in a little experiment I have been running since right around christmas.... I have lost more weight simply by removing all store bought bread, prepacked veggies.... and over processed meats from my household.... gone back to doing it old school.  my daughter has stopped having headaches...and overall i have more energy.  just something to think about.  and yes. for what you would have paid for a double meat sandwhich...everything you need to make a full triple meat poboy (hoagie, sub, grinder or any other term insert here).  can be found at your local grocery. and as planting season is upon us... support your local farmer. buy fresh local produce.

Never had that problem. But then again, I live in Canada. We always do things differently here. If they tried that when I go in to get a cold-cut combo...
