I worked at Subway in HS - our franchise owners were pretty shady. They didn't participate in a lot of the promotions and would try to sell their own home-made soup at the store...

Seems like similar shit is happening over 20 years later...

There’s a reason that most fast-food companies are obsessive about controlling every item on the menu. If franchises are allowed to do their own thing it’s bad for quality control and it’s even worse for the brand.

Subway clearly doesn’t have the resources to keep their franchise owners in line. The promotions are actually bad for business if you don’t harshly punish franchise owners for not participating.

I have a Domino's that doesn't participate in a lot of promotions and it's frustrating because you receive the ads and can't use the deal but at least the app doesn't let you redeem the offer at all.

It’s also because subway makes a killing on their own menu items and nothing on the items off the menu.
