Let me first say that I do like Jimmy Johns subs. But I find their advertising very deceptive and it just annoys the crap out of me so I just cannot go back there ever.
This is why. They have 8" Sub Sandwiches at $4.50 advertised as:
"8" Sub Sandwiches - All of my tasty sub sandwiches are a full 8 inches of homemade French bread, fresh veggies and the finest meats & cheese I can buy! And if it matters to you , we slice everything fresh everyday in this store, right here where you can see it. (No mystery meat here!)"
Then they have their Giant Club Sandwiches at $5.50 advertised as:
"Giant Club Sandwiches - My club sandwiches have twice the meat or cheese, try it on my fresh baked thick sliced 7 grain bread or my famous homemade french bread!"
Jimmy John's Menu
So looking at these two choices would you assume that the Giant Club Sandwiches are bigger than the 8" Sub Sandwiches? But guess what, the only difference between the two sandwiches is that you get 2 slices of cheese on the Giant Club instead of one on the 8" Sub Sandwiches. So did you get ripped off? Read the description of the Giant Club Sandwiches again.
"My club sandwiches have twice the meat or cheese, try it on my fresh baked thick sliced 7 grain bread or my famous homemade french bread!"
Look at the difference in the Tuna sandwiches:
#3 TOTALLY TUNA®
Fresh housemade tuna, mixed with celery, onions, and our tasty sauce, then topped with alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, lettuce, and tomato. (My tuna rocks!)
#15 CLUB TUNA®
The same as our #3 Totally Tuna except this one has a lot more. Homemade tuna salad, provolone, sprouts, cucumber, lettuce, & tomato.
Guess what the alot more is? Yep, the provolone.
--------
So why do I care? Well it's because I do count my protein intake and therefore I ask questions and read things carefully. So when I began to ask the Jimmy John employees questions, it just annoyed me. I mean they are basically charging $1 for a slice of cheese.
