Subway if finally getting rid of their free-sandwich
stamp deal. It was just a matter of time, considering how much they've started to suck lately.
The nation’s second-largest fast-food franchise has halted its red and purple voucher program. Triad customers have about three months to cash in their stamps for sandwiches.
A Subway spokesman called the stamps “antiquated,” citing the need for customers to lick them.
“It’s something from the ’60s,” Les Winograd said. “You actually have to put your stamp on the card.”
Ya know what's not "antiquated" or from the '60s? Paying over $5 for some meat between some undercooked bread. There's just no need that a damn sammich should cost some so much, but apparently, I'm not alone in thinking this:
“If they’re going to charge $6.50 (for a value meal) every time you come in, they’ve got to do something,” said Greensboro resident Wes Treadaway, who ate Tuesday at a Battleground Avenue location. “For $6.50 you can go to a grocery store and make your own.”
Never underestimate how much we'll pay for the convenience of fast food, but this is getting out of hand.
