it was more of a prodding from my roommate - I think he and the guys he supervises have these frequent buyer cards so that every time they buy a sandwich at that particular blimpie's they get a stamp to, eventually, get a free one...
this blimpie's is sketchy though.
they only take cash, they have an atm which they probably own and they probably get all of the fees...
also, none of their prices are really listed anywhere... the menu they have up seems more like guidelines instead of steadfast prices... maybe they charge depending on the market value of bacon, ham, and turkey... whatever.
another thing - the jalepeno chips - not so jalepenoey - more like a mystery flavor which usually ends up being salted or unsalted plain chips...
also - get this - no free refills! $0.89 to refill if you sit in the place to eat. wtf?!
I dropped $10 on lunch - which all in all, isn't a bad thing, but seriously - I probably could have spent half that and had left overs for dinner... and all that without having to bitch about the service and the prices.
I don't think it was the actual amount that threw me, it was more the fact that it was a surprise - but not one of those happy surprises. one of those, I have it in me to bitch but really I just want to sit down and eat because I don't need additional stress in my life right now...
here's the thing.
I'll bitch and moan, but I'm not nearly ambitious enough to call their corporate headquarters and file a formal complaint. why? because the hour I would have spend on the phone isn't worth me making a fuss over ten bucks.
I'm just not going to go there again.
and now that you all know - don't go to the blimpie which is four miles north of my client's office...
... ... ...
um... actually, I'm not sure where this place is - as I didn't drive and was too busy not paying attention to the streets to actually calculate the distance and direction. hell - I don't even know if it was north.
but I have half a bag of sun chips left as well as half my club on wheat.
which will be dinner.

Yeah man, I never felt Blimpie's either.
I usally just stick to the Subway, Quizno's, Togo's places when it comes to sandwhiches. Although I did find a really good hoagy philly cheesesteak place.
