There is a reason I seldom eat at "fast food sandwich shops" like Quiznos or Subway. They are just generally foul, toasted or not. I was stuck with no choice recently, and the sandwich on the board outside of the restaurant of a Quiznos looked reasonably tasty, so I decided, why not. Well ... there was a BIG reason why not.
THE SWITCH
In realty, the Pastrami Sandwich, advertised above, was the most foul looking sandwich I've ever seen. When I unwrapped the paper, I couldn't believe my eyes. You are NOT being deceived, here. I received a roll with meat in a mustard bath. I just gaped at it, appalled, and threw it in the trash. I wrote to Quiznos Corporate with pics of this sandwich. They sent me a $5.00 coupon for a free sandwich, which I gave to a homeless man who sits outside our office building most days. I hope he enjoyed his lunch, because I'm never eating in a Quiznos again.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I have experienced the same thing at a few places. You did the smart thing. When faced with an icky place, order the salad.....no meat. ; )
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed to see advertisements for big, luscious sammiches with nice leafy greens and beautiful red tomatoes... the reality is always SO FAR from the truth.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have expected it to look like the poster ... but that? That's. Well. I don't even know what to say. The mustard bath? Really.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame of a sandwich. And a $5.00 coupon is almost a slap in the face. What were they thinking? Looks like Quizno lost another customer, which in this day and age, no business can afford to do.
ReplyDeleteyou make me laugh... hehe. great idea what you did with the coupon too. love it.
ReplyDeleteIm taking sandwich ideas from people.. Got any positive feedback?
