We’ve got a Quiznos franchise right down the road from my office. Although their subs are tasty, and they sell gourmet sandwiches not found elsewhere, I rarely go there. The food’s not exactly healthy, and worse, their prices are far too high.

However, I got some coupons for the joint from my employer. (We often get business coupons with our paychecks.) I figured that would help defuse the cost, and I could head down there to score a cheap lunch. After placing my order, I’m getting out my wallet to pay, and I hand over the coupon…

…only to be told that this particular Quiznos franchise doesn’t accept coupons. Bear in mind, this is the only Quiznos that’s local. Need I remind that you that my employer receives and passes out coupons from Quiznos specifically because they’ve got a location right down the street?

There’s obviously some miscommunication going on between Quiznos corporate and our local franchise. I know that it’s up to the franchises themselves whether they want to participate in promotions and whatnot, but the morons who work there should at least keep the powers-that-be abreast of this, so we’re not getting false hopes in the form of coupons they won’t even bother honoring. Sheesh!
