inane Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nope. This comes from the legislature. Basic rule - when advertising to consumers be accurate when describing the properties of the goods being sold or face potential liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Why? Because you think there is no waste here? Or because you support the waste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Why not? These cases are clearly ridiculous. And wasteful. I take it you're in support of wasteful and ridiculous cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm guessing I'm probably owed several yards worth of subway sandwich over the course of the last twenty+ years. Time for them to pay up I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 In the Lower Mainland the only place to get a sub sandwich is at La Charcuterie Delicatessen in Surrey (used to be on the Vancouver/Burnaby border on Kingsway at Boundary Road). http://thebestdeli.com/ But now I have to trek to the wilds of Surrey (an industrial area in Port Kells) to be abused and made fun of by Salam Kahil aka "the Sandwich Nazi" - heed the warning on the door - these sandwiches and their maker are not for the faint of heart: Although he does need to get a sign painter who can spell "sandwich" And with The Sandwich Nazi - SIZE REALLY REALLY DOES MATTER!!!! And the price? 8 loonies or 4 toonies... Next up for The Sandwich Nazi??? A documentary. ‘Sandwich Nazi’ of Surrey heads for big screen Salam Kahil has a bad mouth and a heart of gold. The so-called “Sandwich Nazi” of Surrey, Kahil has been serving enormous sub sandwiches with a side of his trademark R-rated humour at La Charcuterie Deli in Port Kells for 26 years. A sign on the door warns patrons: “If you can’t handle nudity or profanity, then don’t come in.” But there’s more to Kahil than lewd jokes and the “best sandwiches in North America.” The Lebanese immigrant studied to be an engineer, but along the way worked as a male escort before opening his first deli. He’s also an art collector, amateur piano player and lottery winner — and, thanks to a documentary that will screen at Slamdance, an independent film festival in Utah in January, he is also somewhat of an Internet celebrity. The documentary focuses on the joie de vivre that characterizes Kahil’s life, as well as his lifelong commitment to helping the less fortunate. For decades, he has brought sandwiches to the Downtown Eastside and handed them out to the homeless. Recently, he asked his loyal customers if they’d be willing to help him make the sandwiches. That’s led to a monthly event at his deli, where a couple dozen volunteers show up to put together hundreds of huge subs heaped with meat and cheese, which Kahil later distributes. The deli owner said he was originally surprised at the number of people who wanted to help, but has always believed “there is goodness in all of us — we just need a chance to show it.” Kahil said he doesn’t understand why more can’t be done to end homelessness in Canada, a country he’s always viewed as the “Promised Land,” but he feels it’s up to individuals to do what they can to help their fellow citizens. “People look down on others so quickly. But everyone has a story.” Kahil will close his shop for three weeks in January to see the screening of his own story — Sandwich Nazi, a documentary by Vancouver filmmaker Lewis Bennett. He expects to be back at the end of the month. http://www.theprovin...l#ixzz2JOzABFIe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would get into a discussion about how this is not black or white in the big picture sense, but since you believe you are never wrong, it is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I disagree. IMHO the cases are not "clearly ridiculous" nor "wasteful". The legislatures have set out standards to be met and failure to meet such statutory standards results in potential liability. You take it incorrectly.

aGENT Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think you disagree because you're in favour of the same, clearly flawed system. Blindly in favour of it, in fact. Justifying your support of it through typical means is, of course, your right, but imho if you just take a step back and look at the whole picture, you'll realize just how wrong it all looks. I believe the majority of people out there agree that currently there is far too much wasteful litigation taking place. Because of these type of suits, the cost of insurance goes up, the cost of products and services goes up, certain undeserving lawyers and plaintiffs get rewarded, at times court resources gets consumed and legit cases get delayed, and it leads to poor patient care (in the case of medical liability). These are problems that need solutions. Do you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 It's a pattern. Wet is "technically" right. The law is what the law is. What Wet seems unable to grasp at times is that when people plainly see that existing laws, regulations, policies etc fall in to the categories of "never have made sense" or "no longer make sense" that what people are actually arguing for is that those laws/regulations/policies should be changed or abolished to better mesh with current reality. Nobodies arguing that these idiots don't currently have every legal right to sue Subway for this. They certainly do. What we're arguing is that the laws as they exist pertaining to this are fracking stupid and a giant waste of tax payer resources and the laws should be corrected to rectify this. If he does actually grasp this, then he's simply being willfully obtuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It's a good thing WC but something as petty as a missing inch on a god damned sandwich really isn't anything to be up in arms about. It's way too easy to sue anybody nowadays...it's completely without logic, and it's ludicrous to boot. I always wondered what kind of spare time these two meatheads must have even NOTICING a missing inch on a sandwich. It just sounds to me like they are trying to purposefully make a nuisance out of themselves. Who does anyone know here who ever before carried a tape measure around and measured the length of a sandwich? Doesn't anyone else see how stupid this case is?
