Okay, so have you ever felt like you got had? Felt like an idiot for falling for a store's trickery? Felt like the store employees are laughing at you as you leave? This is one of those situations. A friend and I were heading out to lunch. We were headed to a really good pizza place. BUT, as we walked by this Subway, we saw the sign in the window. The cheap asses we are, of course, we were tempted by the thought of $4.50 footlongs. So, we stepped inside, and ordered our footlongs. No drinks. No combos. We've fallin for that before. Stepped to the cashier and BAM $13.50!! WHAT THE HELL?!?! We asked what happened to the $8.99 for two footlongs. The cashier replied," OH, that's only after 5." WHAT?!?! Now let me ask you, do you see it say anywhere on the sign that the deal is only for after 5? ANYWHERE?!?! No, right? Yes, somehow the "only after 5" part of the sign fell BEHIND the Subway sign on the window. How friggin convenient! You dirty rotten bastards. This Subway is all kinds of wrong. We heard them tell the guy in front of us that his footlong was not one of the ones that were $5. The commercial says ALL FOOTLONG. Not some. ALL!!! How does the man's footlong sandwich not fall within the "ALL" category? And, your bootleg ass sign is all kinds of misleading. This is the Subway on 72nd St if anyone is wondering. Screw you Subway. You never said I had to do battle with your CHEAP ASS franchise owners to get a actual $5 footlong. Trust me, I've tried. I haven't gotten a $5 footlong yet! And, thanks for you "complaint" section on your website. It sends the email to the store that you're complaining about. WHAT THE HELL GOOD DOES THAT DO IF THE STORE ITSELF IS THE PROBLEM?!?! Subway, do you not care about the reputation of your franchise? Why not have a "secret shopper" stop in your stores sometimes and make sure they are abiding by your official offers? For now, I'm heading to Quiznos for their $4 sandwiches.

Gotcha!
Okay, so have you ever felt like you got had? Felt like an idiot for falling for a store's trickery? Felt like the store employees are laughing at you as you leave? This is one of those situations.

Now let me ask you, do you see it say anywhere on the sign that the deal is only for after 5? ANYWHERE?!?! No, right? Yes, somehow the "only after 5" part of the sign fell BEHIND the Subway sign on the window. How friggin convenient! You dirty rotten bastards. This Subway is all kinds of wrong. We heard them tell the guy in front of us that his footlong was not one of the ones that were $5. The commercial says ALL FOOTLONG. Not some. ALL!!!
