Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches 1

Great concept, but the portion sizes are wildly inconsistent, and the subs are just plain sub-par. ordered a Beach Club that's made with Turkey and Provolone, got two slices of turkey and two slices of cheese. Wrote the company about it, and they say the #12 Beach club comes with double the provalone. Way to go guys, charge extra for double the cheese, then leave it up to the franchisees to skimp... Why'd I pay $7.00 for a sandwich that comes with 2 slices of meat?

I've lived in New England, and I'm a huge fan of sub sandwiches from any local pizza joint in Boston/Maine/Vermont. And I've never ever paid $7.00 for anything there that didn't feed three people...

Also, big frowny downer points for not being able to put hot peppers (and I mean the chopped peppers or pepperoncini you'll see in any real sub shop) or even pickles (which you can get on the side... for extra) on the sandwich.

We're all looking for a little more value in our purchasing these days... Jimmy John's seems to be skimping on product to make their margins.

They are not going to survive. I have spent way too much money on this Jimmy John bs in Greensboro, NC. We will stick with the family-owned delivery businesses here. They have ripped me off more than I can calcualte. My children are banned from going there anymore. Their customer service and follow through sux in a big way!
