Select Subway Restaurants: Footlong Sub EXPIRED

I don't "tip" my dentist, I just pay them. I don't expect if I slipped them a $20 they would clean my teeth 20% better. Your argument is incredibly weak.

Agree.. there are a few places that we frequent and the wait staff trips over themselves for us to be in their section. We're not stars or anything we just tip properly if not extremely nice in most places. And yes the service goes beyond at those locations (hence frequency).. not because of us it's because of them and their attentiveness. They appreciate the gratuity and few cases we were told it helped pay a bill for them. Actually had one cry after receiving the tip. You never know when you can actually make a small difference in one's life! Amazingly just a tip/gratuity could do it for them. You just never know what their life circumstances are to be in a specific job or function. Let them know you appreciate what they are doing for YOU. Of course, it does go the other way for crappy service..still leave a tip just not a proper one to let them know you didn't forget the tip! Done that a few times and once with a note.

That's the difference between how your mind works and mine. You're concerned about saving a buck, and I'm concern that that person making my sandwich, salad, or whatever is able to pay their rent and car payment, so that when I come in to get my sandwich, they're thinking about making my sandwich instead of whether or not they can pay their bills. Most dentists are pushing close to $200k a year. What do you think a fast food worker who makes sandwich takes in? In a 40 hour week making $12.50/hr they would make $500 before taxes. They might keep $425 of that, then they still have to pay their rent/mortgage, car payment, utilities, just like everybody else.

Same here. I've gotten to know a lot of the staff at the local restaurants, and it's a whole different experience when you go out. Not only are you eating at a restaurant, but you also get to interact with the various workers behind the scenes. You know the cooks, managers, wait staff, etc, and a lot of times they're happy to see you. If the service in just awful, it's likely I'll still tip, but probably won't go back.

I'm not saying I don't care about employee well-being... I do, very much actually. So much so that I want the corporations employing them to stop guilt-tripping me for extra cash and instead focus on paying their employees a liveable wage. I don't see why that makes me the bad guy?

Tip the workers

Years ago, picked up a small tuna sandwich for lunch.
Got back to work, and my sandwich had NO tuna. Just lettuce, tomato, onions, o&v, smh. Sent off a scathing email to corporate. All they said was sorry. Haven't been back since. Blimpies has always been better anyway, imo.

They are not loosing.. they are just telling the workers to skimp the toppings. Few that do participate, my last online sub was very thin and mostly bread only. Never again at Subway.

Dont know whats the reason but seems to be these owners/workers are extremely stingy.

Tip the owners. They're losing $15.99 per sub at this price. Or, that's what I read on the interweb.
