Forging Subway Stamp Coupons!

[Analog]

The crimes occurred in early February in the Subway restaurant in the Bad Axe Mini Market at 885 N. VanDyke Road. A worker there, Erica Becking, suspected counterfeit stamps had been turned in and alerted her supervisor, Mindy A. Bender, who called state police.

Subway customers receive Sub Club stamps for buying Subway food. When a buyer fills up one Customer Appreciation Card with eight stamps, he receives a free 6-inch sub sandwich, wrap or salad with the purchase of a drink.

Trooper Jeffery J. Heronemus of the State Police post at Bad Axe said the woman confessed to using her parents' computer scanner to create fake Sub Club stamps, and then used pink and purple crayons to shade in color on the stamps and make them appear more real.

Heronemus reported the woman told him she has been unemployed since Jan. 1, and that she made up the fake stamps because she's hungry. The woman lives with her boyfriend, who works at a Bad Axe restaurant.

How the heck did she get caught anyways? Did they hold her at the subway until the cops came? did the cops go through surveillance tapes and then stuck up a wanted poster?

The Bad Axe woman may not become as famous as Jared S. Fogle - who lost 245 pounds, he says, by exercising and eating Subway sandwiches - but Bender said Subway officials want to know more about the case of the counterfeit Subway stamps.

"They were talking about using it as a marketing tool," Bender said. "They could say 'Subway sandwiches are so good that a woman risks jail time to get them."'

damn...stupidity = 1

In SE Michigan they no longer accept stamps. I was told it was because of theft. I guess this is what they were referring to.

There's a sign on the door at the subway by work that they're no longer accepting the stamps because of counterfeiting. Has been there for about 6-7 months now. This is in Lansing, MI.
