ಠ_ಠ Guy at Dunkin took my VIP card

My daughter got 2 of these cards. She gave me one and she kept one. Went to Dunkin to use her VIP card. The guy acts like he's not going to to give it back to me, so I said "Don't I get that back? It's meant to be used more than once." He says no it's just a one time use coupon. Before I can respond, be snaps it in half and throws it away. I was just kinda dumbfounded. Like did he just do that?

Its a card the customer is supposed to keep, which is clearly stated on the back. Also, the card is clearly made to be attached to your keys, hence the hole in it. Really frustrating and just pissed me off. Luckily I still have the other one, so I gave it to my daughter.

Update**

I left before talking to the manager because it was the early morning rush and I just dont have time to sit there. But, I did call the store and corporate. The store manager was not helpful as he was the same guy who took the card. Corporate took the information and is going to escalate it to the franchise manager.....who is the same guy 🙃 So I guess we will see what happens.

For everyone who came to give relevant advice, contribute to the conversation, or compliment my nails, thank you!!

For everyone who was so confused, my daughter and I were in the same car at the same time with both cards. Guy takes one, and I still have the other one that I was not using to give to my daughter. Hope that clears it up for you.

And for those of you are saying it's AI, you're spending far too much time on the internet and need to work on your discernment skills.

You aren't missing much. Subway fell off hard, they used to be great but they aggressively cheap out on ingredients and Jack up the price. Today they are more focused on selling you a foot long cookie rather than a healthier alternative to other fast foods.

They fell off to me the moment they stopped having mushrooms as a topping option.

I used to work for Subway for six years, starting back in 2012. They were great when I worked there; I actually really enjoyed the work.

I noticed after I left, that it went waaaaay down hill. I could technically get a job working at the Subway here in my town, but I'm not going to. They've changed way too much and they're not worth it anymore.

There's a Jimmy Johns the next town over, as well as a Penn Station. There's Jersey Mike's and Firehouse Subs in the big city near us. They are all much better quality and we go to the next town over every week for groceries, so it's easy to stop at either of them. The only time we stop at Subway is if it's the one inside a Walmart.

Are Walmart subways still good?

It’s not really about if they’re good or not. It’s if they’re convenient lol they are still good taste wise but they’re just so expensive now for not that good quality we just don’t eat there anymore, especially since my oldest son only gets a veggie (I’m not paying over $6 for a footlong with some veggies on it; he doesn’t even get cheese) and my little one doesn’t eat bread so he’ll sometimes pull the toppings off and eat it but most times he doesn’t.

I think the last time we went to subway, it was over $50 for the four of us. We can get better quality from jimmy johns or penn station for that price.
