Quiznos: Troubles With Redeeming Quiznos Free Sandwich Coupons

Quiznos: Troubles With Redeeming Quiznos Free Sandwich Coupons. I printed my Quiznos coupon and headed into my local store to redeem it the other day. I was told the same thing as most of the people commenting on the Consumerist site... "We don't take that coupon." I was hungry, though, so I went ahead and got lunch anyway. As I was paying, the owner asked me how often I ate at Quiznos, and if I lived in the area. He apologized for not being able to take the coupon, and gave me a different one good for chips and a drink with any sandwich purchase... It's only good at that store, and he claims it will never expire. Compared to some peoples' experiences with this coupon, and Quiznos in general, I'd say this particular owner handled the situation pretty well. If nothing else, he retained me as an occasional customer. The issue, I believe, is that Quiznos corporate is writing checks its franchises can't cash. I'm not sure how the individual franchises are compensated (if at all,) for the freebies, but when businesses all over are struggling to stay afloat, it seems to me they should be focusing more on improved service rather than free sandwiches.
