Aladeen Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 No the analogy was being made to the way in which nominally dimensioned lumber is marketed. Another analogy was the way in which McDonald marketed quarter pounders - i.e. weight. and beer sold - volume. I am amazed that you missed the point completely of the analogies. When I am building furniture, jewellery boxes, cabinetry etc. then length will be an issue but here the discussion was about descriptions of products and how they are marketed and sold.

Dion Phaneuf Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 One of the goals of such lawsuits is to modify corporate behaviour and it seems to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 The problem is that most franchise's don't follow corporate orders. I doubt that the bread will be baked properly in the future (it'll vary like always). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeromotacanucks Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Implementing something new at this point would be disastrous in my opinion...they're having a hard enough time as it is, having to deal with teachers who aren't even well-versed in the subjects they teach...trying something new at this point would be a fool's errand.

Markus Alexander Cody Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Bah I don't care if it's 11 inches or actually a foot long, as long as I get my sandwich and it fills me up, I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I feel so lucky to live in a part of the world where some of the major problems are that a footlong sub is only 11 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANGO Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 One foot = 12 inches. that is not negotiable...it is not 11.99 inches, it's 12 inches. and possibly the reason footlong isn't a word is because you've omitted the hyphen. Foot-long clearly states that whatever it is in question is the length of a foot...which is...12 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Also, isn't the actual content of the sandwich determined by the size ordered? It's not like you're going to get an extra meatball, or anything. You're getting all the fillings, and one bite less of bread. That's it. The crap they throw on the table for free in other restaurants because they don't want you leaving hungry. It's an inch of bread. Still 8 meatballs to an 11 inch sub.

Pouria Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 My girlfriend says she can't handle a foot-long, but that 6 inches is the perfect length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Maybe the employees could just press down on the sandwich after assembling it and it squish it until it reaches 12 inches. That'd make everyone happy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFBR392 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If I tried to pay them $11 on a $12 invoice, they wouldn't allow it. Why should we allow them to give us 11" subs when were being charged for 12"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Over 1 inch? That's a sample at Costco. I wouldn't even be bothered to fight over that. You'd have to be an extremely dull person to want to money out of that. I hope it backfires on those two New Jersey people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
