Why Quiznos Stinks

So I am cheap. Yup. One strategy to save cash while still eating out is to register with food places online, and then they send coupons and notices of great deals. I received this coupon from Quiznos yesterday. I printed it and took it into the store last night for dinner. The $4 torpedo sounds like a good deal, and two for $6 sounds like a great deal. However, the store refused to accept my coupon. They said it was a "copy" because it was printed in black and white. I explained that I have a black and white printer, and so all coupons I print are black & white. The cashier/night manager continued to make other excuses to explain why he could not take the coupon--they were all lame. I got angry, and maybe a little agressive. He told me to talk to the owner, but when I asked for his number he directed me to the corporate phone number printed on the glass (and when you call that number you cannot advance unless you have a recipt number). Then he threatened to call the owner, which I welcomed. Then he picked up the phone to call the police and told me I was trespassing.

So, the moral of the story... Dont go to Quiznos, and certainly dont assume that Quiznos will actually accept a coupon from Quiznos.

We've never had a good experience at any Quiznos. They are almost always out of whatever it is we want and what they do make ends up soggy (instead of toasted). That's amazing about your experience though! Can't wait to see you guys, by the way, when you come through Utah!

Plus they boil their proteins to keep them warm all day long (or at least they did at the particular one we went to in Salt Lake). Disgusting!

Man! I had one of those that I printed out too! :( Ugh. Maybe I'll print it in color but then maybe I shouldn't just because they are punks. Ugh!
