Look they have standard amounts of each non-vegie item that they put on subs. It's like 8 pieces of roast beef or turkey, 4 pieces of cheese, pre-made standard cold cut trio etc. It's all standard; not EVERYTHING is a scam.
@RyanblueI put it to you that the influx of consumer protection laws is a result of the predatory practises that businesses have developed and realised they can get away with, and that expecting consumers to have perfect knowledge, especially in an increasingly technical world is a true fallacy to build an economy on.If there is more ignorance today than in previous years on the part of the consumer, you can thank the immense growth in the amount of knowledge an average person is expected to absorb and keep retained at their fingertips in a modern technical world.This information flood just makes the principle of perfect knowledge for consumers even more stupid, and naturally government protection from what is effectively business fraud to be even more used.Whether govt legislation is the correct answer to the problem or not Is a classical political debate I have no intention of getting into here.I will point out that if you study the realm of compliant psychology in depth you would probably be quite unnerved by how many examples there are EVERYWHERE of consumers being manipulated by businesses.Heck the entire world economy is Royally f**ked right now precisely because of greedy, predatory business decisions made in a highly technical realm where consumers have no chance of perfect knowledge that a true free market system assumes in order to operate properly.@ leavemomalone.I base my opinons off my experiences over 26 years where i have seen some of this shift continue, anecdotal evidence of people who have been alive longer than me, formal education in economics and economic theory, Following the news and expert opinion on the matter in detail for well over a decade, Study of compliant psychology and observing its use in day to day marketing and advertising, and observing all of this with an open mind and applying evidence tests to each micro theory as it was presented or i thought of it.I've seen a great deal of evidence to lead me to these opinions, and since I was only seeking to decide for myself, I didn't record/make note of all of it to back up my arguements.I share my conclusions with you for the sake of you investigating my theory for yourself, I do not present the conclusions as the arguement or as being convincing by itself.
don't be an assh**e man...just give the people what they want for free. as long as your manager isn't around. you can always even out the inventory if you do the 2 for 9.99 on sundays when someone insists on getting a 6 inch that's cheaper rung in as a footlong. you can also steal money that way. just do that and it will say a foot long was sold. then when someone comes in buying the other half of that 6 inch it's already in the system.i'm so glad i don't work at subway anymore. on second thought just quit. find a better job.
I used to work at P.S. in Columbus, and I cut close to a hundred pounds of fries a day. I'm kind of sick of them, but they are much better than most places if you go in when they aren't busy and they can drop orders one at a time.
@Felpz That's still not a good reason for Soytaco to type like that, even mockingly. Yeah, p8ntslinger used poor punctuation, but his post was easy to read and written like someone would talk. There's nothing wrong with that.
@RusskiGuyI'm well aware of economies of scale. Perhaps you should research a technique called the loss leader.@everyone elseApologies for use of word sheeple, Wasn't aware it offended you all, seemed to fit well with the concept of blind consumerism. If its getting overused or hijacked by conspiracy nuts to the point of obnoxiousness i'll stop using it.
