The most expensive free sub Quiznos ever made.

Hello! As said before, the previous posts were done by zilver, and all posts from me, will be from jdsarge91 from now on.

So in an article that is a slightly intentional ripoff of a similar maddox article (actually its PURELY intentional), lets discuss the subject of the free Quiznos sub giveaway. (It's still going on, check it out here at http://millionsubs.com/ )

I've never actually had a Quiznos sub, nor ever even been in one of the sandwich shops chains. Still, after being alerted by a forum I frequent that today Quiznos was giving out coupons for free subs, the promise of a FREE meatball grinder from any food place was enticing. So, after school me and Louis planned to hit up Quiznos and share a delicious snack.

Of course, neither of us had bothered to print out the coupons yet, but neither of us realized this until of course, right afterschool, the library about to be flooded by storms of angry faculty members wishing they could be drinking at home.

I had already sent the coupon to my email during one of my many study halls during the day, but the coupon required one to have a photo id, and with me STILL not having my license, I figured
that I would just have Louis print his own coupon out and we would be set.

Which was my second mistake. Louis was yet not 18, and the coupon required one to be 18 and have a photo ID to get a free sub. Louis then of course, just lied about his birth date on the coupon. Brilliant as this was, and as much as I doubt the intelligence of a Quiznos worker, something told me this was NOT going to work.

This all was happening rapidly as we scrambled to get to the library to print our coupons. Teachers were already quite present throughout the room, so we quickly found a computer that worked and set to work.

Which brings us to the main point of this post. School computers. Imagine an 90 year old blind lady attempting to navigate a spiral set of stairs and you have somewhat of an idea of how slow our school computers are. I can literally sign into a computer, run two laps around the school, go to my locker, get hot lunch from the cafe, talk to an assorted number of staff, and probably read an entire novel before a school computer will load. And that's not even loading some basic applications.

Which brings us to the deeper point of this post. Why are these computers STILL using Internet Explorer? Granted, we are up to the latest version, which means we FINALLY get tabbed browsing, but that still leaves us with the slowest loading homepage I've ever seen. Why in god's name would you have a browser load up the homepage of the school? Lets see, I'm school the school IT guy, I could either have all these computers load Google and maybe actually let them get some work and research done before 24 hours pass, or I could have the homepage be a crappy .org site which is probably only run on one server.

That being said, the computer EVENTUALLY did load Internet Explorer and we quickly went to Louis's email account. Only to find out he had tried to print the coupon before hand during school, and that had failed miserably due to the library printer acting up. So of course we did the next logical step, we tried to print it again, from the same printer that had failed us before. Disaster. Coupons can only be printed ONCE, and since Louis had already tried to print his, his coupon was replaced with a lovely ad telling us to send coupons to our friends. And of course my coupon was kaput as I too had sent it to the library printer. It dawned on us that we were NOT going to be having free food today.

So we did the thing we should have done in the first place. Got Subway.
