2 NJ men sue Subway over false foot longs

[1carcrazyguy]

Hope the, "it's not really a footlong", crowd does not take their tape measure to the lumber yard. They will freak out!

Or make a 6" and kids size with the non 12" bread.

Still wasting bread & you know they don't sell as many kids sandwiches.

I'm just here to argue. You're right.. But a pandemic of 11" sandwiches isn't just an accident.

Solutions. They're out there. Or you could make it over 12" to accommodate the shrinkage and still call it a foot long

It's fucking bread. Is it even possible to ensure every single piece is 12"??

They can get it much closer than that, or they need to fucking fire their vendor and QC. I think the law suit is frivolous, but Subway knows damn well what they've been doing. It is false advertising, period. What McShitstain's does is at least ethical, in that respect. They admit it is pre cook weight, even if it is in fine print.

Oh, and this doesn't exactly do anything to help the widely acknowledged stereotype thatSubway franchisees are notoriously cheap, by any means necessary.

[jefehbk]

what about when they wrap the sammichs? could some of the bread lose its length from being wrapped tightly?

[MustangPoser]

It's not rocket science, they can make the bread at least 12" every time.

Though the bread is cheaper than meat/cheese, and they are still putting the same amount on each sandwich. It probably that the teenagers working in the shops are took lazy to ensure they pull the bread far enough in the former

Amen. Same with 6's, 8's, etc.

[Ruffdaddy]

It depends on the individual store and if the employees follow procedure. If the bread is not proofed properly it will be undersized (or oversized and of poor consistency). When you're paying someone minimum wage, getting them to be meticulous when bakin the bread is not easy.

I was a certified sandwich artist back in my prime.

[diablo rojo]

I wonder if he measured the flat bread? That's not baked onsite. Either way, it's a bullshit lawsuit IMO.

Time to ban sandwiches.
