http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2015/10/20/subway-will-now-measure-sandwich-bread-following-footlong-lawsuit/?intcmp=hpbt4

I've been in thousands of sub/sandwich shops all over the place. I've seen the sub size noted as small, medium or large and I've seen them noted in inches. NOT ONCE as in NEVER have I whipped out a tape measure to check the length. What is wrong with people today!?! Is every sub shop now going to be in fear that some putz like this guy will check the length of their roll and sue if it's not within an 1/8 inch of stated? Maybe even dispute what makes a small, medium or large size roll? What if the roll is longer? Will they ask the excess be removed or do you think they'll shove it in their piggy mouth? Ha, we all know that answer.

My take, he picks on Subway because they are probably the largest sub shop around, gets with a lawyer who agrees to give the guy a nice cut when they settle. Yeah, like that.

    Laziness....that's what this all boils down too. Rather than getting a job, you have people that would rather scam the system to get money with boneheaded legal teams behind them.

    When i get my morning pastry off the coffee truck, i'm going to weigh it against the net weight on the package and if it's off, poor ol' Carmen's Catering is going to close shop for being liars!!!

    This will be my only comment as this thread will derail in 5....4....3....

    Kramer's lawyer must have moved to Australia. All Subway had to do was add one word...."approximate". But that's the world we live in today, easy money.

    Another example is clothes. Has anyone actually measured that claimed inseam of 32 inches ? No, because different brands fit you differently and we all have come to accept that fact. Someone will take them to task for it and Judges, who are actually lawyers in robes, will hear the case.

    I dunno man, in my day nobody cared about these small so called injustices of life, too many other bigger fish to fry and complain about than a half an inch off a sandwich.

    Funny that this is newsworthy... Just goes to show how the naivete of the gen. public and how they are manipulated by the media. You'd think they would be more concerned looking to litigate against those who said" If you like your healthcare you can keep your healthcare; if you like your dr. you can keep your dr. and that your healthcare costs would decrease by $2500 per family...

    They should have sued for calling that stuff "bread". I don't know how Subway manages to make something that looks like bread but has so little flavor you might as well be eating the wrapper it comes in.

    Yuck....you couldn't give me one for free. My dog eats better than that. Get yourself a real sub sandwich from a real sub joint, you'll never walk into a Subway again.

    I liken Subway to 2 buck Chuck, which is now 3 bucks.

    It had some ingredient used in yoga mats. Funny how the public can be duped into thinking this is some kind of health food. I guess if you can eat it and feel good about yourself it has it's place, yet It still comes up short in more ways than one.....lol.

    And I like my yoga mats with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, green peppers and mayo. Subway sucks... and how about their former spokesman Jared who is now getting some footlongs. I am sure he would be in favor of shorter ones and hold the mayo!!!.

    Class action had good intents, but has become a cash cow for lawyers.
    I have been invited too many lawsuits for stupid things. I'm pretty sure
    anyone getting a sub hasn't been hurt by this in any way.
    If the lawyers can sigh up 1 million people to be part of this
    they can clean up. And most people sign on to get their $10
    piece of the pie. We have less engineers each year, but every year
    the number of lawyers goes up. And that means more lawsuits.

    Guy in a bar stands up and yells "All lawyers are a**-holes"



    Guy at the back of the bar yells "I take offense to that"



    First guy "Why, are you a lawyer?"



    Second guy "No - I'm an a**-hole!"

    Then there's this oxygen thief - Tom Frankovich. While this particular article is dated, he is still hard at it - running businesses out in California for manufactured ADA violations, mostly in restrooms.

    http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/wheelchairs-of-fortune/Content?oid=2163370

    The scam? He visits the restaurant, tape measure in hand, and hits the restroom with a copy of California's SIX HUNDRED PAGE ADA building code. In the program I watched, he forced the closure of a six (6) restaurant chain, because they had their mirrors in the restrooms mounted two (yes, TWO) inches too high. He finds a violation (Not difficult, given the complexity of the ADA regulations in CA), and files suit. He usually settles out of court for low five figures...

    One of the local TV stations sent interns out to an even dozen Subways to buy a sandwich. They measured every single on and all were 12 inches or over. One show had them at an even 14 inches.

    All the women were flocking to that one.

    After Nader's book, GM did fix the rear suspension design of the Corvair and the last few years' production were actually very nice cars... but the PR damage was done (relative to the Corvair, that is).
