Ah, God, this shit pisses me off.
I decide to eat fast food last (Wednesday) night, and I wanted to use one of my coupons that I've collected through the mail. The one expiring the quickest was the Subway one, so I go there to eat.
I had two coupons. I did not use the one that gets me a six-inch for three bucks; I use the one that gets me a footlong for six bucks instead, because I figure I can eat one half that evening and another half for dinner on a night I don't want to spend money. So I peruse the bright menu in this bright new Subway (the place looks good) and get a sub that gives me the most bang for my buck. It was a tie; several footlongs were eight bucks. So I chose the Cold Cut Combo because of its three meats. I kind of regretted it because the guy ahead of me had an order of four footlongs, all needing to be toasted, there was a family behind me, there were only two people working, and a Cold Cut Combo meant that the girl had to roll up three different kinds of meats -- as opposed to the similarly-priced Roast Beef, which, obviously, is only piece of meat.
I later regretted getting the sub for another reason. While watching the Olympics (Mikaela Shiffrin -- GOAT) a commercial for Subway came on. And it advertised five different footlongs for five bucks apiece. One of them was, you guessed it, the Cold Cut Combo.
I did not see this offer in the store. Neither employee mentioned it. And yet I used my coupon for a sub to pay six bucks when I really should have only paid five. Any other of the subs I thought about I should have taken because I don't think any of those subs are currently on sale for five bucks. I screwed myself (with the help of other people and other forces) out of a buck that I should not have given.
Yes, it's just a dollar. But since I overpaid by a dollar, I am mad as fucking hell, I really am. So I went online to that customer service website every fast food restaurant gives on their receipt and I told them as much. And I think I'm going to raise a damn stink about this until I get my dollar back or a coupon for a free sub or something, because I got fucked over, dammit.
