No one ever said that you had to be smart to live in the Villages. People make dumb mistakes all the time. Stop complaining, life is too short.

The store also decides HOW to participate.

It's the same way at most stores that accept coupons. One per transaction. You can have multiple transactions, but if it's busy, the polite thing to do is exactly what you suggested - complete one, then to to the end of the line and wait your turn for the next one.

Or you can have two people in line, each with his/her own transaction. Or, you can go somewhere else to eat.

Reminds me of the guy who was ahead of me at Subway a month ago, who said he wanted more cheese on his toasted sub, that what they gave him wasn't enough. So they complied, and when they charged him extra he said "oh I'm not paying extra, I wanted more cheese because what you put on there MELTED."

Well DOH. It was put in an oven. Cheese melts. They put on the exact same amount of cheese on that sub that they would've put on if you hadn't toasted it. And the sign on the wall says extra cheese costs extra.

He argued for almost ten minutes, holding up the line. All because he couldn't stand the idea that he wasn't going to get free extra cheese that everyone else had to pay for.
it's @ that point i step forward, dig into my pocket & give the clerk the xtra $1 to keep the line moving. true that

Default Is it meat

There are now a number of sandwich shops, Jersey Mikes, Fire House, Subway and a number of others. If I'm going to have a sandwich made, I prefer to go to Publix, simply because I actually know where the meat is coming from. There have been many questions about the quality of the product Subway serves. There was even a question about the amount of tuna was actually in a tuna sandwich and if it was really tuna. John Oliver last week dedicated half his show on Subway and their underhanded policies. Subway might be cheaper, but you get what you pay for.

Spoke to a friend of mine who went to his local Subway on Long Island with a coupon, and was told they no longer will accept coupons.

And yes - you were looking for conflict. You were absolutely looking for conflict. You found it, and you ended up not getting what you want, so you're seeking validation here. You're upset because I'm not buying what you're selling. This might be your first rodeo, but it's not mine.
OBB, You are my spirit animal. I don't know if I know you or not, but with every post of yours you speak for me. It's a bit disconcerting actually.

Cannot believe people get so worked up over such a small deal or that I took the time to read all the posts

I had him deduct the second full price sub and he, in my perception, arrogantly tossed the sub deducted into the trash. Had we walked into the store and pretended not to know each other, we would have both received the coupon price.

Asked to speak to manager but none available. Probably would not have led to any difference. So, now we have Subway coupon Nazi's. What is supposed to be a marketing technique to encourage business becomes an intimidating experience.

I wonder what would have happened had I gone to end of line and reordered a sandwich and tried to use a coupon. I guess, I am not that interested in conflict.
They never seem to honor coupons, even on their app. 2 customers should equal 2 transactions, so the clerk was a jerk.
