I had Subway in Round Rock a few days earlier and loved it, so went to this location to try again. That was a mistake.
I hadn't been in a Subway for years prior to that, but after that great Round Rock experience, I was rip roaring to get my 90's sammy on again.
I arrived and asked about the two for $12.99, and the guy looked super confused, so I explained that's what I got a few nights prior at the other location.... "Oh, that's with a coupon" (recognizing the communicative challenge in front of me, I didn't want to take the time to explain that I had not used a coupon the other night). Instead I asked if he had a coupon on him that I could use. "No, those are in the mail..." Ok...
"But tomorrow we have BOGO."
Thanks!
I still kick myself for coming back the next night. I don't ask questions cause I just wanna get my food. I get a cold cut foot long, and a meatball foot long. I am not in the mood to debate with this guy either, but it was clear he short cut the meatballs. While they were roasting them and adding the veggies, I happened to notice the sign behind them read that both foot longs should be $5.89!!!
First thought was, if that guy was to use basic reasoning the previous night, he could have said the combined full-cost price would have, indeed, come out pretty damn close to the $12.99 we had discussed.
Second, they charged me $6 and change and $5.99. So, I was overcharged for both! Overcharged by pennies, but at this point it's the principle of the thing.....
Third, I got home and counted the meatballs. 5 in total..... On a foot long.... I Googled it and a website said it is supposed to be 8 to 8.35. which sounded reasonable. I'm not sure how they got that, but I knew it wasn't supposed to be 5... On that bread sandwich
Finally I filled out a survey expressing all this, and I got a canned email from someone claiming to be the new owner with A VERY generic response, as follows
"Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. I apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. We have, just a few days ago, taken ownership of this location and I will be reviewing the problems you mentioned so that we can make your next experience a great one. I appreciate your patience as we train our team and work out the kinks. I hope you will come again and let us make things right.
Again, I thank you for calling this to our attention."

Well Cynthia, I'm willing to try again, but not on my dime. If you pay, then I'm willing to take time out of my day to try again. read more
