So about a month ago I was going to my local Subway and I was getting my standard $5 Footlong and they tricked me into getting my bun toasted. How was toasting the bun being fooled? Well, I asked the check out Sandwich-arista  why they were charging me tax since I was taking the sandwich to-go?(side note: you are not supposed to pay tax if you take food to go, but you are charged a Diners Tax if you eat in). I asked why the tax, and he informed me that there is tax if you toast the bun. There is a ton of BS we can go off on just about the fact that Toasting constitutes TAX, but I learned my lesson and from that day I avoided tax by toasting my bun at home.  But wait, there is more! So I go to Subway yesterday and I get the Meatball sub, and when they try and trap me into the Toast-tax I did not fall for it; but then I get to the check out and they tell me the price and it includes tax!!!!!! So I ask, what is going on? Why am I getting taxed if I did not toast and it is to-go? So the girl tells me that with meatball, they tax no matter what because it is supposed to be toasted. So even though I did not get mine toasted,  she tells me “that does not matter on meatball”.

So the point of this story is not that I am very cheap… it is that this TAX system at Subway is BS!!!!!!!!!! No sandwich purchase should ever be this complicated.
