Several months ago the Quiznos sandwich shop in my town was closed. I wondered why, I used to go there maybe once a month, but it always looked busy. Well, apparently it only too ONE Mystery shopper to bring the world down on the couple who invested life savings of over 300,000 to buy the Franchise. ONE mystery shopper went there bought the prime rib sandwich and weighed the sandwich after picking it apart, who knows if they didn't take a few bites before weighing it! It was supposed to be 5 ozs, and it was only 4oz when it was weighed.Well, Quiznos took the franchise back from the couple. They appealed their case, and I just read that a judge awared them 350,000 back, what they lost. I'm happy they got money back. So, don't buy a Quiznos franchise! They are crappy to their people. Another example of corporate greed.

Corporate greed and/or protecting their product name?
Ok, here is the article as it appeared in yesterday's paper onlinr in my area.

It sounds like this couple threatened to sue Quiznos corporate. It also appears Quiznos corporate doesn't much care for franchise owners who short customers, threaten to sue the corporation, and also threaten to defame the very product they sell.
People pay for a sandwich and are entitled to get fair value for their purchase. It appears this couple wasn't providing product at the standard Quiznos demands.
It's unfortunate for all that things worked out so horribly. However, I don't find much fault with Quiznos corporate. Do you?
For whatever reason, I can't get it to open the news story for me right now.
I'm really not favoring either side. Each side represents a business, there is no business vs people in this story. It is business vs business.
Quiznos has standards, for good reason, they assure customers will get a consistent product regardless of store visited. McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's and any other large franchise operation do the same.
20% is a big difference. As to the scale, I assume Quiznos has quality assurance for such things. As we read in the story, hundreds of thousands of dollars ride on the accuracy of the scale.
Would you suggest Quiznos not have any standard?
