SUBWAY TO MEASURE FOOTLONGS

The Subway sandwich chain has agreed to measure its 6-inch and 12-inch subs as part of a settlement agreement to a 2013 lawsuit that accused the chain of making its sandwiches shorter than advertised. Two years ago, a customer posted a picture of a Subway sandwich on Facebook with a ruler on top showing that the sandwich barely stretched 11 inches. The photo went viral and eventually prompted a class-action lawsuit. As part of the settlement, Subway will provide new training materials with amended franchisee protocols “which had previously allowed for a small tolerance in the size of a footlong sandwich” to mandate that sandwiches must measure the full 12 inches.
* I would have gone with the “we meant as long as a human foot” defense.
* Sure, Subway gets a class action suit over “footlong,” but 3-Day Blinds gets a pass.
* A corporation has agreed to sell what it’s claiming to sell? What’s this world coming to?
* We only allow selling based on lies with the big things like the War in Iraq.
* Believe me, after their former spokesman Jared Fogle this is the least of their problems.
* Translation: They’ll use the same amount of dough, just stretch it out longer before baking it.
* Sure, Subway allowed for a small tolerance in the size of the footlong, but I bet they were never LONGER than a foot.
* Let’s put it like this: if an employee was only turning in $11 dollars out of every 12, Subway would be on it in a heartbeat.
