I know that they discontinued the stamp program at Subway about a year, but why?
I'm guessing that it's because fraud was rampant in that program. As a former Subway employee back in the mid-90s, I know the theft that went on with the stamps. Things like friends of employees getting hooked up with many stamps for free sandwiches, customers reaching over the counter to work the stamp machine to help themselves to free stamps (yes, I caught people doing this!), etc..
And then when I left, the program was modified so that you needed about a third less stamps for a free sandwich but you had to now buy a drink. Boy, people were griping when that was introduced, but I personally didn't mind buying a drink seeing as I no longer had to buy 2-4 extra sandwiches like in the past. Some people can't see the forest for the trees, I suppose, but I digress...
Anyway, anyone know why the program disappeared? Are you sad to see it go? Personally, I go for the food, not the free stuff!
