It doesn't rain a whole lot here in Southern California. Taking this into consideration, Subway decided to advertise a special offer for those rare rainy days. The so-called deal is that if you buy one 6" sub and a drink, you get a second 6" sub for no additional cost. So Wendy and I decided to redeem this offer and went to a Subway in Tustin. Now Wendy had heard about the offer a few weeks prior over the radio, and so I was still rather sceptical about the whole situation. When we walked into the restaurant we were hesitent at first. There were other customers present and we didn't want to look idiotic. Finally, after drawing mental straws, I insecurely asked the guy behind the counter, "So, like, um, do you guys have a special when it rains or something?" He responded, "Um. I don't—" "Yes," begrudgingly stated the other man behind the counter, "When you buy one 6" sub you get a second free if you also buy a coke." I don't think that they wanted to share our secret with the other customers. Well, we bought our food and were on our way.

Yesterday, my boss said that he was thinking about Subway and so I informed him about this special. When he got to Subway he asked them about the deal, and the man behind the counter said, "I know about that deal, but we won't give it to you." Needless to say, my boss got the manager's information and is (hopefully) going to take care of business. If it were me, I wouldn't let up on them until they were out of business and I had lifetime supply of subs. I'd claim that I was a minority and have the ACLU all over the nation's largest fast food chain!
