its veterans day.My grandfather fought for this country and saw a commercial on tv that all vets get a free subway sandwich.We go to this shp and they refuse to give him a free sandwich. He risks his life for this country and drove all the way to town for a sandwich which they refused to let him have.It may sound like a little thing-but today is about vets and if you say they get a free sandwich!give them a sandwich.The manager didnt want to give away anything free in my opinon he needs to be fired and my grandpa deserves a formal apology and his flippin sandwich!and ill do whatever it takes to make sure this all happens.But everyone needs to know.If your a vet dont go here-They have no respect for people who fought for our freedom.im proud of my grandfather and all veterans.they deserve alot more than this!

You should contact Subway corporate, as they need to make good on the offer. It is true that nearly all Subways are privately owned franchises and thus can opt out of corporate promotions. The Subway you went to obviously chose not to participate. Back to that in a moment. However, I think that when the corporate franchise makes a national ad to promote their brand AND the privately owned franchises, then the corporate office should make sure to make good on THEIR offer.
Back to the private franchise. Yes, the economy isn't great, but if the store will shut down by giving away a few subs, then where else are they cutting corners regarding paying customers orders? Also, a national ad promoting a free sub for veterans actually HELPS ALL privately owned subways with such a campaign. Here's how. Vets needs to eat just like everyone else, so they make choices as to where to eat. They and/or their family see the ad and decide to take their vet family member to Subway to get him/her a free sub. While there they will likely order more food, thus bringing in MORE customers than normally would come in on that day. Thus, one free sub can easily bring in 2, 3, 4, or more paying customers with it, which they wouldn't have sold if the national campaign weren't advertised.
OP, contact Subway corporate and ask for a coupon for a free sub for your grandfather. I'm sure they will honor your request. Then, do NOT go to that subway, go to another one and give them your business.
As for Vets getting free food, I don't think they are entitled to free anything except what our country promised to them. We the tax payers pay for those things. Thus we pay for the services provided by our vets. What we owe them is what we promised and that's all they are "entitled" to. Of course there is NOTHING wrong with a private corporation wishing to give a Vet something for free or whatever cost they want to charge. It's their private business and they should be allowed to make any offer they want, and customers can then freely decide if they agree by being a patron of those business's. As for my own personal belief about military service, I am befuddled by the constant notion that anyone and everyone who has served in the military is somehow a "hero". No, not everyone who served is a hero. Some served with distinction, and may truly have performed in a heroic way, and those hero's get recognized and awarded accordingly by military rules and regs. Yet, in the past couple of decades we have been inundated with constant messaging that anyone and everyone who has served in the military is somehow a "hero" just for having served, and frankly there is no clear reason or logic to accept or believe that. If you were drafted, then you had as much change of being called to service as any other eligible person. Nothing special there as it's every citizens duty to serve when called to serve. That's not "heroic" to perform your duty as a citizen. If you volunteered, then you choose to serve for your own reasons, and the military through our tax dollars made you an offer to serve and you choose to accept it for whatever your reason. Nothing "heroic" there either.
Yes, it's not a popular position to take, but it's one that needs to come out of the closet as way too many people are scared to say it.
I respect people who served, but I also respect the police, fire fighters, emergency personnel, and all other civil servants who help keep our country functioning. The term "hero" gets over used and over applied., and that simply diminishes what a true hero is or does.
I work at subway and feel very sad that my owner did not participate :(. I think it is a very nice gesture for subway to say "thank you" with a free sandwich, and shame on those franchises that couldn't "afford it". My grandfather also severed our country and he did NOT have a choice! It was called the DRAFT! So Forget your comment!
Your grandfather, and my own male relatives, fought for their country;. They did NOT fight for free food. The ads specifically state at participating stores. No one forced your grandfather to take a job in the military. He does not DESERVE anything but a thank you.
Have you thought about complaining to the corporate office?
