2 in NJ suing Subway chain: say a "foot" long is not
Once again, the lawyer of the day award goes to someone in Jersey. And people here wonder why more fled NJ last year than any other state. It can't be all of the frivolous lawsuits against businesses. Nah.
From the link:
http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf..._most-comments
Two New Jersey men sued Subway this week, claiming the world's biggest fast-food chain has been shorting them by selling so-called footlong sandwiches that measure a bit less than 12 inches.
The suit, filed Tuesday in Superior Court in Mount Holly, may be the first legal filing aimed at the sandwich shops after an embarrassment went viral last week when someone posted a photo of a footlong and a ruler on the company's Facebook page to show that the sandwich was not as long as advertised.
At the time, the company issued a statement saying that the sandwich length can vary a bit when franchises do not bake to the exact corporate standards.
Stephen DeNittis, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the New Jersey suit, said he's seeking class-action status and is also preparing to file a similar suit in Pennsylvania state court in Philadelphia.

Maximizing earnings potential by fing everyone else out of their money is so very noble.
Losers.

I've been in FL too obviously. The stupidity of NJ's leadership is REALLY hard to top - as I've posted many times.

I don't believe it. Next thing you know they'll try to tell me there's no salt water in the taffy sold on the Jersey Shore boardwalks.

My gf lives in Hoboken (in the second year of a two year stint with Teach For America).
NJ is home to some of the rudest, trashiest people ever.

this is why we teach our cashiers to say medium or large- a medium is about 8 inches and a large is about 12 inches-but our sub rolls are hand made and they will have different sizes at times

My local Subway is already all over this. Now they're asking me, "Six-inch or eleven-inch ?"

Guess that means somebody's going to get five? They can't win.

I'm not that familiar with Subway and their advertising campaign. Have they ever declared that their "foot long" is intended to mean 12 inches? The more common definition of "foot" is the part of the body which very clearly varies in length from one person to the next. It seems like the ambiguity was intended for reasons such as this.
