"Sammies"

If you're going to try to get free food from Sammy's, take this little story as an example of what NOT to do.

Three college-age kids come in, two boys and one girl. I know the girl from a mutual friend, we say hello.

One of the guys she is with pulls out a Quiznos business card, stapled to a take out menu. Someone has written "1 Free Sammie's Meal" on the top, with a signature and date underneath.

"hmm..." I say. "What's this?"

"Sam gave that to me," says the boy.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, he gave it to me on Christmas."

Then I laughed out loud.

"Of all the people in the world to spell 'Sammys' wrong, Sam himself would be the last."

The 3 all look at each other and laugh, still trying to play it off "Yeah, yeah he gave it to me on Christmas!"

I laugh along too.

"That's soooooo strange, especially since he just married my sister, and spent his entire Christmas break with my family. In San Diego. Weird. He must have gone to Quiznos and started handing out "sammies" coupons down there."

Then all three of the kids looked at each other, then RAN OUT OF SAMMY's! I'm not kidding! They left their fake coupon, booked it out the door, all the way down the street and around the corner.


That is definitely the CRAZIEST attempt at free food I've ever had at Sammy's. People claim to be his cousin, or that he said they could get free food, or even swear they have worked there before. But never has anyone written themselves a free coupon on a Quiznos take out menu, and not even had the decency to check their spelling.

GET IT TOGETHER, CRIMINALS OF PROVO.

I'm sending this in to the police beat.
