ToxicSlurpee posted:Some places have been doing this weird thing where you can buy a base sandwich for dirt rear end cheap but then basically everything you would actually put on it up charges it. Sheetz has been doing this and acting like they cut the prices but really, your meatball with cheese sub stayed exactly the same; you just pay for a plain sub then pay for cheese now. Of course Sheetz made it easier to customize stuff with a touch screen but on the other hand they made it really easy to inadvertently create a $14 sub.

Grilled chicken breast on italian herb and cheese bread with pepperjack cheese toasted, adding spinach, cucumbers, and sweet onion oil is what I usually get at Subway. It's not hard to build your own sandwich. I haven't really noticed any marketing for the PSVita, which is really sad because Sony's had so many bat-poo poo insane marketing decisions in the past.

I can't believe I'm surprised that "ordering a sandwich" is also something goons get anxiety about.

I stepped through the door at 1:00 P.M. on a Saturday (the busiest day, because everyone's off work) and was back in my car by 1:15. That includes the computerized written test I had to take and the time it took for them to take my photo and print my new ID.

All other sandwiches pale in comparison I do not doubt your claim however after eating their subs for at least half my life I just realized I can pick whatever meat from the cool deli side I want vs what they have behind the counter. This was a loving revelation in my otherwise boring life.

The DMV owns now, and Subway makes a poo poo tier sandwich for too much money. Also, choice paralysis is a real thing.

Jastiger posted:Subway I know is guilty of this. If you get the chicken bacon sandwhich its one price, if you get a chicken sandwhich and "add meat: Bacon" to it, I am pretty sure you pay more. Not if the cashier is doing their job right (both of those should be rung up as a chicken bacon ranch), but any base sandwich that doesn't have bacon or avocado normally is gonna cost extra to add those.

This is why my answer is always: gently caress everything but Wawa. No hidden costs, I use a touchscreen and they get my sandwich right, and I've actually heard Joy Division over the loudspeakers while pumping gas. Wawa 4 lyfe <3 To bring us vaguely back on topic: come to think of it, I've never heard a Wawa ad on radio or seen a TV ad. How do they do it? edit: I know this is "dumb marketing moves", but I feel like somehow Wawa has transgressed "NO marketing moves" into "BEST marketing" by just delivering quality food and $1.97 gas.

kazil posted:Well if there's anyone I trust to ring things in correctly it's the teenager working at Subway for minimum wage In this case they probably will, because it's fewer button presses. The chicken bacon ranch gets its own button, so you don't have to press the "add bacon" button. The real fortunate thing though is they upgraded their registers in the past year, so you don't have to worry about the cashier forgetting to press the discount buttons because it's automatic now.

McDonalds had my favorite upgrade. When I worked there in high school the registers were all done with words that required reading. A few years back I was hard up for a job and went back to working there and that system was replaced with one that's 100% pictures. So now when they take forever to ring things in and mess up it's even sadder.

Wawa is a dumb marketing move in NOT loving EXPANDING. I miss my Wawa. I live on italian subs and the steak quesos there. And you never heard the hoagiefest ads? NBC10 used to air em on broadcast, and I know YSP used to as well...dunno what area of their wonderful locations you're from, but they definitely did advertise on radio and occasionally on TV in Philly.

To the best of my knowledge, this is literally exactly what is going on, with a side order of using language that's supposed to pseudoscience you into wanting a cigarette. Supposedly that's what's with those orange banners - it's supposed to encourage that viewer to make an impulsive decision (to smoke a cigarette) Note: I heard this from a marketing person, and marketers are by their very nature evil

Dude this is America, "incredibly obvious conflicts of interest" is basically our number one contribution to the information economy. As far as I can find out however you are correct - they're made by the American Legacy Foundation, which is funded by but not run by tobacco companies as part of the Master Settlement Agreement between the US and US tobacco companies.

Question Mark Mound posted:People still chew tobacco outside of Wild West recreation societies? (I assume those probably exist) It's really popular anywhere where there is a large amount of rednecks. From what I can tell, it's mainly popular with people who work manual labor jobs who work indoors or need two hands/would rather have a dip in for a couple hours than keep lighting up cigs. I live in the second biggest city in Vermont which is still rural as gently caress and pretty much every guy under 30 smokes or chews. My roommate leaves his spitters all over the house and it's gross as hell, at least my butts are confined to the porch. Also cigarette taxes have gone up by $4 (which is good since it goes to education but sucks for my wallet) since I started in '08 while chew is barely taxed so it's much more enticing to teens. I think a tin of chew is like maybe $3 versus the ~$8 a pack of smokes costs me now. salty fries make me cry has a new favorite as of 09:24 on Feb 11, 2015 |
