Hi, you can actually get your bread toasted and not be charged tax at some Subways. I went to one in Pasadena and they said the tax law states that if the whole sandwich (including the meat) is toasted then tax will apply.

I usually order the bread and cheese toasted and then the untoasted meat placed on afterward. Actually it tastes better this way imho anyway.

I tried ordering it like this in downtown Los Angeles and they charged me tax though, so I think they were not as familiar with the tax law.

The zit-faced guy behind the counter laughed at me for being a cheap bastard but my net worth is 1 mill+ and he’s working at a sandwich shop, lol.

Hilarious! California know this: the rest of the country thinks you are a bunch of idiots. Cool place to visit but a horrible place to live. Such a joke. Good luck as your economy continues it’s downward spiral.

The Subway CA tax thing applies to the un-toasted meatball sub. I assume it’s a hot/cold issue.

Er, howbouts a money saving tip that doesn’t involve lying? Committing fraud to save 8.25% on a cup of coffee is not just illegal, its morally reprehensible.

Try: Always get your coffee to go, and leave.

Was that so hard?

Believe me, not having self-serve gas in Oregon is not as cool as it sounds. Many gas stations only have one attendant, whether there are four fuel pumps or ten. I know gas wouldn’t go down in price if we got self-serve here, but at least we’d be able to pump our gas and be on our way in half the time.

“saving $.43 is not being a cheap bastard…”

It is if you really prefer your bread toasted…

I happen to have a friend that works at Subway, and they JUST started doing this (they are apparently one of the last chains to start) – but there you get charged extra if you order anything to go, not just coffee.

I noticed the roasted sub tax too. Kind of ridiculous, in my opinion. Didn’t know about the coffee – thanks for the head’s up. I’ve been wondering why everytime I order coffee, it’s more than I thought it’d be. California is kind of ridiculous.
