Ads on Television / myLot

Sonic ads are on my television morning, noon and night and the nearest one you ask is 3 hours away. I think this is bad, as wouldn't you want to advertise to the people more likely to visit? I don't know anybody in this city that has ever eaten at Sonic. I just saw a Subway Ad for the $5.00 deal and want to know this question. Why was my sandwich smaller than the ad? The bigger question really should be when your hired at Subway shouldn't you know the difference between ham and turkey? The lady making the sandwich didn't know and asked me which one is ham. I was speechless and just pointed at the ham. Dairy Queen says they have $1.00 hot dogs and the lowest cost one here is $1.79. I think they should honor their ad on television. Don't you agree with me on this one? Tell me what ads do you feel are less than honest or you wonder why that are running the ad in your area? Should workers know basic knowledge of meat?

I remember McDonalds' putting up a poster campaign where they said you could have 54,000 odd different combinations of meal from their 'pound saver' menu. Impossible! Do the math! As for knowledge of meat, I would say everyone, young or old, rich or poor should have knowledge of meat. Workers especially. Even more so if the worker is working with meat on a day to day basis. Touching it and picking it up. Processed meat could present difficulties for many people though. Recently I had some canned goods in my cupboard and the labels had come-away. Needless to say when I opened them up I had problems in determining which was the sea-blatt and which was the luncheon meat. Crazy World, Hunh??

Which one is the ham? Hahaha That is too funny. I can see a new employee forgetting which luncheon meats go on which sandwich but not knowing the difference between turkey and ham - now that is something she should know.
