Subway Responds to 'Footlong' Lawsuit

Two New Jersey men have sued Subway because they said the sandwiches are not the full advertised foot. Now, Subway says it promises to ensure all subs are in fact 12 inches.

Doylestown residents who like to enjoy a Footlong from Subway can rest assured that sub will in fact be 12 inches, according to a new pledge from the fast food chain. Earlier this week, news spread of a lawsuit filed by two New Jersey men who said they measured 17 Subway Footlongs and all of them came up short. Subway has responded to the allegations, pledging it will work to ensure all sandwiches are in fact 12 inches. Subway provided the following statement to the Chicago Tribune: "We have redoubled our efforts to ensure consistency and correct length in every sandwich we serve. Our commitment remains steadfast to ensure that every Subway Footlong sandwich is 12 inches at each location worldwide."

The authority's board already had approved the settlement agreement, borough manager John Davis said. That means that the terms of the agreement can move ahead quickly. As a result of the settlement, borough residents will receive two separate bills, a water bill from the borough and a sewer bill from the county authority. The lawsuit, which dates to 2009, …

Interesting fact: in Doylestown Tnsp, we get to pay for our water twice! First we pay the water company. Then the sewer bill comes, based on the water usage. In the summer when we're trying to save our trees by extra watering (which doesn't go into the sewer), we use a lot more water. Then get shocked by the fall sewer bill!   more ›
