If someone puts a tray of cookies in front of you, you should take ONE and say thanks and pass it along. Its impolite to sweep the entire tray into you lap and demand more. When people abuse coupons, the franchisee loses money hand over fist.
sorry, but I am not buying it that the cost of a soda, chips, and a sub is over $4 to quiznos.
it just doesn't make any sense, you're buying all your stuff at wholesale.
and i really dont feel sorry for a franchise that is losing money because of a corporate coupon. If you dont like it, then you dont hae to honor it... but dont honor then whine later.
all i see happening is pissed off managers who aren't MAKING AS MUCH as they would have, and therefore they get upset. However I firmly believe that these stores ARE STILL MAKING MONEY with each use of the coupon and so therefore i will not hesitate to use it.
soda = .02 or maybe even free.... it really doesn't cost much to give soda
chips = .25 i am just guessing here... but WE get bags of chips for .50 and we dont buy wholesale....
this leaves about:
sandwhich = up to 3.50
maybe the numbers are off a little but i am sorry... the sandwhich doesn't cost 3.50. And yes i understand that if for one hour all you have done is sell sandwhiches WITH coupons then you have probably lost money due to labor cost and electricity etc... however we both know that not everyone who goes into the store is using a coupon.
i managed a large golf store for two years... we hated it when we had large national deals to honor because the profit was so small we almost wasted our time, HOWEVER even during huge sales we still had morons coming in and paying full price for equivalent products all the time.
