Ok. I am DONE. This company makes it impossible to report. I guess I loose. I know nothing will be done. This is probaly a scam anyways.
My original report to them:
I purchased a footlong BMT on Italian herbs and cheese. The employee was flipping pans... See More at the time. No cutting board. He did wear gloves. At payment, when I tapped my Venmo debit card payment processed adding a 2.00 tip w/o my consent or even knowlege. I then walked home, it's literally half a block. I ate half the sandwich and went to bed around 9pm. I then was up most of the overnight hours with bad cramps, sour stomach and many trips to the toilet. I still have the other half of the sandwich. I can bring it back to the store. Should I? I had to take the day off work as well due to this. I still feel like crap and using the bathroom. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Cramps See Less
