No hay dinero para JJ
$30.29 I didn't spend at Jimmy Johns. Grand Total: $135.97. Ay caramba. (Gloria's is an awesome Mexican place)
Which brings me to my point with this Blog.
February 24th. The day I stopped eating at Jimmy John's.
They don't want my business obviously, so from that date on, I will upload pictures of receipts of every meal I pay for at my office for lunch, or at home for lunch or dinner, and we'll see how big we can get the amount of money I didn't spend at Jimmy John's.
It's a shame really because they just opened one 2 blocks from my office in Downtown Dallas. I think that may be God himself messing with me.
Why so serious sammich guy?
I know, I know. Dude let it go. Its just bread and provolone. And to tell you the truth I would, but this JJ's actually in their defense tried to keep me, a paying customer, happy and cared about when I sent in an earlier feedback email to the exact same JJ's when the service started to slack off a bit. Drivers would call me on my cell phone, no one could understand me over their phone. It seriously was like pulling teeth sometimes, but they still delivered, and I still payed & tipped. And get this, Black Widow's empress emailed me back then to make sure I was happy. Part of the reason I sent them feedback over cutting me off. I had success before, I thought I would again. If I was out of their delivery range why not address it then? Huh Black Widow's empress who I'll call Sanjaya?
My house is literally two turns from this Jimmy Johns.
One left. Two lefts. Bingo. That red arrow is my house. Note the one exit. Is that too difficult for a driver? Is that outside of their "strategy for success"? If two turns is outside of a strategy for success we've got bigger problems here folks.
Response from Jimmy Johns Corporate:
"Kelly", the Black Widow's empress, fails to explain what their delivery area is, nor address why one exit down the highway isn't within their "defined strategy" for "success" for that Jimmy Johns.
Backstory
I love sandwiches. I love, loved, Jimmy Johns. Imagine my elation when I heard one was going into a small brand new strip center just one exit up Highway 360 near my house in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Anyways, it was a year ago almost, and we just moved into our house. It was lunch and we were pooped and starving. Guess what I ordered? And it came, after ten minutes, beautifully whisked to my new abode. Several bread laden sammys of pure bliss. Even the lady was happy.
This would continue, much like the sup-prime lending practice. All willy-nilly for the better part of 2008. Even into the fleeting NCAA football season & Superbowl. I could count on an Italian Night Club or Turkey Tom arriving at my door, and a decent tip into the pocket of the driver.
Then the market crashed. The Italian vinagretted world ended as I knew it. Something was different when I put in my order February 16th of this year. There was a pause. A long hold, but nonetheless my order was taken and the phone was hung up. 15 minutes later I get a call from the manager at Jimmy Johns 4120 Highway 360, Fort Worth, Texas, who I will call the Black Widow.
Black Widow said I was out of their delivery range and that I could call back tomorrow to speak to the actual manager, and that I would get no Jimmy Johns love that night or any night for that matter.
I was livid, starving, and desperate with a dash of crazy. I launched into how much I loved the sandwiches, how much I ordered, how I was only an exit down the highway, how this time was the only time I've ever had a problem...Black Widow ate my head off, and ate my dinner.
Somepoint thereafter and several F-bombs later, I hung up the phone. Hungry, defeated, I furiously began scribbling a note to Jimmy Johns corporate to express my discontent & anger. I settled for Chinese. No one should have to settle for Chinese.
I'll post my email with their corporate office in the next post.
