    Then the dozy new employee who looks 16 wasnt paying attention, and was too bothered looking at Girls Aloud on the TV, overcharged.

    Girls aloud aren't that good lol!

    tbh if it said student discount and they refused to give it to me, (assuming I were at an NUS insitution, obv) I'd just have left...let them take the losses of making a sandwich that wasn't sold.

    About the student discount. Well, this is an issue that varies from store to store. Some stores rely on students and don't say no to any student card. Others only accept NSU student cards and while other part time course students may try it, they don't succeed in getting discounts.

    If you feel you're entitled to a discount, then again, speak to Subway or the Manager. Hope that helps

    yeah but if they have a sign up advertising a student discount they should follow that, definately write a letter of complaint with all details to HO and a copy to the store
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    Talking of girls aloud....
    Cheryl Tweedy is so sexy that I wouldnt even acknowledge anyone around me if she were dancing around on the telly.

    Let alone go off and make a sandwich for a student.
    Infact WHY wasnt the student eyeing up Cheryl Tweedy?

    In my local SW you can only get a discount on subs alone - not meals and it states only subs in the adverts. I assume that all the advitising is the same (i may be wrong). I would say go above them and complain to subway.co.uk. I had a problem a couple of months ago - wrote to them direct and got a lovely letter and £30 worth of coupons. Worth the time :D
    Debts: Gym £[strike]465.75[/strike] Student account [strike]£1039.88[/strike] Overdraft [strike]£129.00[/strike] Credit Card [strike]£2772.22[/strike] Loan [strike]£6222.01 [/strike]
    Total £10628.86 :eek:
    All paid off! 10/03/2009 :j

    Don't forget if you have a footlong meal deal you are meant to get TWO cookies. They will try and avoid giving you both!

    I have never been handed a cup or crisps in subway they are there for the teking in front of the till. you just pick one up. the crisps are next to the drinks fridge again you say a meal and go pick your crisps up. I think you were a little preoccupied with the student discount being refused.

    I always make a point if the sandwich artist is skrimping on the fillings or if all the fillings are in the hinge of the sandwich or not spread along the length of the bread. the common result is double fillings rather than handeling the meat again as my fave sub is chicken teriaki.

    Even though Subway shops are franchise they should still be up to the same standards either write or phone head office and complain keep hold of your recipt as it will have the transaction details on there and make sure you get the point over it was the manager that treated you baddly. if you write and dont receive a response give them a call.
    our cups used to be within reach, next to the til but now they are behind the counter as are all the crisps

    Thats not true. A meal deal regardless if you buy a 6" or a footlong is still only one drink, and one cookie or one packet of crisps.
