Go to their website and send them an e-mail telling them you will no longer patronize their establishments. I just did.

I'd send that e-mail to Subway, too, but I don't eat their garbage anyway. No matter what you order, what you wind up with is a lettuce, olive, and pepper sandwich. No wonder that dude lost a lot of weight. He's lucky he didn't die of malnutrition.
Still, I'm glad you posted the story. How trying and embarrasing it must be for the likes of Michael Moore, Matalie Mains, and now, Subway, to have to own up to their American-ness in front of those cool Euros. I think that Americans ought to do the decent thing, and stop humiliating these poor folks with our stupid bumpkin money. Or is that censorship?

secondly, the ads are playing in germany. Now, the last that I checked, everyone was real big on this 'global economy' so why would you capitalists bitch about a company using advertising tactics designed to promote their business?

Exactly!!musicman said:Well, in the first place, Subway made it's fortune here in America, selling their shitty little rabbit-food sandwiches. Now, they go elsewhere, and play upon deeply-rooted Euro-contempt for America in order to line their pockets a little more. Doesn't that make them - I don't know - slimy ingrates?
They don't have to promote America (even though the only reason they can franchise so big and to Germany is because all the money they made off this "fat" America), but damn, don't degrade us either!dilloduck said:Thier job is to make money for thier stockholders, not promote America.
Are they going to other countries and promoting their business there by talking shit about US?DKSuddeth said:So subway made its fortune in america.......MOST companies made their fortune in america, with american workers, yet you don't complain about the offshoring of american jobs. sounds to me like you want your cake and to eat it too.
