Down with Corporations and their Fraud Tactics
I have visited McDonalds in the last month and ordering their Extra Value Meals in an effort to get game pieces of their Monopoly Game. In the Drive-Thru they have Ads that if you order the Chicken Meals, you get more game pieces. Every time I went thru I was handed meals with no game pieces attached. They said they were out. This was happening in the the first few days of the game.

Please write your congressperson and tell them, McDonald's is screwing the General Public.

1. I bought a coupon book (neighbors kid selling to go to San Diego
for a band trip). There was a coupon for buy 1 six inch sandwich and a I think 51oz. drink and get the second free. That was the ad period, it was for Subway which has the crappiest sandwiches I know.

She was low on cash, and her son wanted Subway, so I said, let's split the cost (I would get a crappy sandwich but would help a friend). When we got there, we were told that the sandwich her son wanted didn't qualify for the deal, the mgr. was rude and we made it clear that they had false advertised, I bought a slice of pizza from the store next the Subway store (saying I don't even like Subway, which I don't, and the mgr. just walked away). I hope they go out of business real quick.

I do plan to follow up with the HS one of if not the third largest in NJ on this matter, because the advert was completely fraudulent, but did the HS misadvert or Subway. It was Subways loss, because I bought 1 sandwich yrs. ago and thought it disgusting. They either changed their sandwiches or well, will not be here for long.
