Just Pass Me By

Don’t honk, don’t cut me off, just pass me by!

 

Our experience at Subway

Last night my husband and I decided to stop at Subway on our way to our girl friend house. Before going out we had called her to make sure she had already eaten, which she had. We decided Subway would be easy because it right near her place, and it not expensive. I guess last night it was the cheapest we have ever at there we paid nothing.

We got their and while we where ordering their register went down. That not good because my husband and I do not carry cash on us, and I we did not stop to get money out of my account this morning for Hebrew, I gave my teacher a check because we had ran out of time in the morning and it was snowing. I offered to give them a check for our mails, no big deal i figure and the waitress told me No we don’t accept checks. I asked how do we pay, she said don’t worry about it. My husband was what does she mean don’t worry about it. I understood she meant Subway would lose money with a big percentage of  their customers because they could only take cash.

I had ordered the meal. 6 inch chicken sub, with the most of the vegies fixing, and instead of chips I order cookies, My husband did the same. They gave us each 6 cookies, I asked for 2 oatmeal raisins and 1 white chocolate mac. nut cookie. Subway is the only place I like the White Chocolate mac. nut cookies, but normally I do not want 3 of them cookies. We brought our cookies with us and I gave one to my friend. I didn’t want to give her to many because she diabetic.

Subway would have been wise to accept checks during that time, because they could have made a little bit of money. Sometimes it best to take a risk that maybe 1 or 2 checks will bounce from all their customers that don’t have cash on them. I know checks can be a pain to get cash but they shouldn’t have to many problems, doing it. I am sure they deposit their cash at a bank so why not cash the checks with the cash. At least it would not hurt the bottom line. I am figuring the Subway bottom line wasn’t hurt by that store giving out free food and to be honest I am glad it was free, it was nice but I just felt bad for the store.
