		<description>IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN A QUIZNOS FRANCHISE PLEASE LOOK AT THE TYPE OF BEHAVIOR THAT THEY CAUSE FOR YOU ONCE YOU SIGN THEIR &quot;QFA&quot;

I ASK EVERYONE TO READ THIS WITH RESPECT TO THE WRITER WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US AND HIS FAMILY:- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

The entire stucture of this company from a legal/Corporate view is based and built from a DECEPTIVE lie!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way there is an understanding that they were also behind the cause of several other suicides as well- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -



Life goes on and we pass through

Days of sunlight days of tears

It’s the way life comes to you

Foolish wasting precious years

 

I am not a fool. My wife is not a fool

I even refuse to call myself gullible. I am not a gullible. My wife is not a gullible

We trusted in Quiznos. They promised us success, help and everything else to get us to buy into the

“dream” they were selling. They had a private secret unannounced agenda! To trap you and screw you,

the franchisee!

We are not fools. But, we have been fooled

We are like so many others who also bought into this dream and lost a substantial portion of their life’s

savings.

Countless individuals and families have been destroyed. Even some lives have been lost

I have struggled hard and did the best I could to create a voice for the franchisees in the system and to

create a “support system” for the franchisees, which does not exist, and to fight the injustices of this

franchise system (Quiznos). Not to bring the system down, but only to make it fair.

I hope my efforts will not go wasted. I hope the government will look into the systematic deceitful

business practices of this franchisor. A serious investigation must be undertaken

It’s been a tough battle

I have been dragged through the legal system for over 18 months by the immensely superior financial

might of the franchisor, which will continue to keep justice from coming to me, and to the hundreds

and thousands of franchisees who are trapped similarly in the system and are slaving for this

franchisor, and those who have bought into the franchise agreement, and not yet become store

operators

I have spent and sacrificed my time, money, family life. I thought of an option to leave the system

quietly and fade away, but now I choose not to do that, and instead let the struggle go on

My struggle will continue after my sacrifice.

Some one must do something about what Quiznos is doing to the trapped franchisees. Everything they

do is in their own self interest, with utter disregard for the interests of the franchisees, to who they sold

the “dream” and put into business, only to screw them systematically from day one

The press and the media must bring out the atrocities Quiznos is carrying on with.

In this franchise system the Franchisor has all the rights and no duties or obligations, whereas it is just

the opposite for the Franchisee, which is the franchisee has no rights, no remedies, only obligations

I have not been able to think well, eat well, for the past one month

My health has been going down very fast

My mental capacity, to think, to work, and carry on my daily activities normally, is severely

diminished

I cannot survive like this much longer

Quiznos has killed me. Destroyed my life. Destroyed my family life for the past seven years

It has been a harrowing experience. We just could not get out of it. All doors were shut

Can some one stop this?

Can the government stop this Quiznos from destroying peoples lives? They have defrauded me and

they are defrauding people. See my law suit (complaint) how they defrauded me from the very

beginning, and then continued their systematic defrauding through out the period, until we left

They retaliated against me for trying to create a voice for the franchisees in the system

We were abused, we were manipulated, we were exploited,

I deeply regret getting in to Quiznos. I wish I had never heard of them

Can the media stop this?

CNN we need your help. Nancy Grace, please help! Glora Alred? Who else?

KTLA, LA Times, OC Register Please

How can a common individual like me and those like me in similar circumstances, there are thousands,

with limited resources get justice?

I believe there will be justice. But it will be too late for me.

There are a large and growing number of us who believe, unreservedly, that the handful of people who

own and/or otherwise control the Quiznos Corporation should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

The Quiznos Corporation is just one of the most egregious in what they do, but the entirety of

franchising in America is open to this kind of abuse. The IFA (International Franchise Association) is

the umbrella entity that, along with individual Franchisors, has enough money and power to buy the

legislation that protects the Franchisor, and exploits the Franchisee. Fair and just legislation, that

would level the playing field, never sees the light of day. Senators and Representatives, primarily

Republicans, continue to sell hard working Americans down the river. STAY FAR, FAR AWAY

FROM THE QUIZNOS CORPORATION. THEY ARE CRIMINAL IN WHAT THEY DO. And treat

any Franchise System with deep suspicion

		<description>Here is a copy of the e-mail that I sent to Quiznos. I sent this 2 weeks ago and I have now started calling them looking for a response. 

Your current commercial  that depicts two actors sitting in an old outdoor bathtub, heated by an open fire, referring to it as a &quot;hillbilly hot tub&quot; is deplorable and a blatant display of an unacceptable ethnic slur against a group of Americans.

How dare you, in today&#039;s ethnic and racially sensitive world, attempt to be humorous at the expense of a certain group of people. Your high paid advertising execs should display an inherent sensitivity and educated sensibility toward all groups of people at all times. Would these same execs dare attempt to show African Americans, Asians, or Hispanic in a sterotypical and derogatory light?

Your ad evokes a negative stigma against all Scots-Irish people in our country. It is sickening and highly offensive. My ancestors were proud people who settled in the Appalachia mountains. They were -and still are-  a hard-working group of Americans who have put up with this type of stereotyping and societal bullying long enough and your company, Quiznos, is perpetuating this disgusting form of bulling.

A household word such as Quiznos needs to be part of the solution to end this prejudicial behavior by offering a public apology for your ethic slur against the Scots-Irish population of the United States of America.

I highly recommend that in the future, your high paid ad execs do their homework and advertise your product in a positive light without having to depict a group of people in a derogatory way.

Respectfully yours

		<description>Hey Speedcat good to see you. I have been away from this blog as well and still am kind of. I&#039;m hoping Quiznos came to their senses. I haven&#039;t seen the commercial for a while now.</description>

		<description>Hey Denny! Long time no see. I was in a blog break for a while, but now seem to be back pounding the pavement again after settling in to my new shack in Hollydale ;-)

Is that your hot tub? (( the blue one )) 
To tell you the truth, I did not know people refered to &quot;themselves&quot; as hillbillies. I always that that that was more of a term used by early settlers that lived in towns. &lt;i&gt;This coming from someone that has lived in a Minnesota suburban area all his life&lt;/i&gt;.
In any case, this certainly does not make me want a Quiznoes Sammi.</description>

		<description>Thanx for commenting on this. Being from West Virginia the commercial made me pretty mad the first time I saw it.

I&#039;m quickly reaching the point where the things that people do/say no longer surprises me. My surprise has evolved into expectation. I think in some parts of &lt;em&gt;civilized&lt;/em&gt; society we are moving so obviously far in the wrong direction we had may as well be walking backwards. That&#039;s just sad.</description>

		<description>I emailed Quiznos in their comments section and this commercial is right on their front page. I asked them if they would depict Blacks, Indians, Mexicans, etc in this light and if they wouldn&#039;t why not? I said that &quot;hillbilly&quot; is a derogatory term just as bad as kike, wetback, nigger etc. I also said that if they dared depict these groups in this light then the ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center would be on them in a second. Everyone reading this should email Quiznos and tell them they are offended by this commerical. IF everyone would say something I guarantee you they would remove it. I am tired of rural america being the only group that can be discriminated against in the USA.</description>
