i went there tonight to buy 3 sandwiches. i had $20 bill in my hand as i walked through the door but when i went to pay it was gone. The only people in the store were myself, 3 employees & 1 customer who left just as I got to the counter. Now I do realize that anything could have happened but it sure seems funny to me that i place my order, set my purse on the counter & put the $20 in the top pocket, then drop my keys, bend to pick them up & when i stand up i walk to the end to pay & the money is gone. i feel if one of the employees didn't take then the store is still partially responsible because one of them had to see whoever did take it. Even though by then no one else was in the store. i even asked "did any of you see a $20" and they all said ohh no not me. Yeah uh huh, it just flew away. Now i know to a lot of people $20 is nothing but to me it is a lot and i don't have that to just throw away. Is subway at all responsible or am I just basically SOL? Serious answers only please.

Yes i know i am partially to blame because i should have never trusted enough to think that someone wouldn't reach in my person and take money. That is my fault and i know that.

Given your narrative, it could have happened as follows: When you bent down to pick up your keys, the money fell out of you pocket. After you stood up, it blew away. You didn't say if it was your shirt pocket or one in your purse. Another possibility is you will eventually find the money somewhere else in you purse. In short, you can't even prove you had a $20. How can you prove where it went.

Nope, they are not -- unless you can prove that it was one of their workers that took the $20 bill. (Hidden camera in the bag, anyone?) Next time you drop your keys, don't leave your purse "unattended" when you bend down. Bring the purse down with you. You are fortunate that $20 is all you lost -- I know that $20 is a lot. What if your wallet disappeared? That is even worse. Moral of the story -- don't take your eyes off of your valuables. Just because someone else is around doesn't mean they will "watch" your stuff if you take your eyes off of it "for a second."

If you honestly do feel like the employees took it when you bent down to pick up the keys, then you need to go back up there RIGHT NOW and get all three of their names so you can inform the owner of the situation that transpired. Only you truly know how they were acting at the minute after you stood back up. Are you sure you didn't stick it into a pocket? Check your person before continuing this.

I think that the customer walking out took you money, the kids behind the counter probably weren't even paying attention to your purse, and in my opinion, you are out of luck. The store should not be responsible for you not securing your purse, and money.
Sorry.

You don't has a case. as far as anybody is concern you might be lying to get money from the place, you can't prove that you had the money, your sole word is not enough, you got screwed.
