I know most online Aldi groups call it the Aisle of Shame. Can you get through the maze without going there?
There are some crazy Aldi fans in Facebook groups out there. There are some people who like mazes out there. Is there much of an overlap?
It’s really that simple. You can even skip the printing and solve it on your phone or tablet usong a note app or photo editor if so inclined.
Well, Quiznos never wrote back, but a QSRweb representative did. Apparently Quiznos is embarrassed or perhaps angered by my request. At the very least, they’re obviously not amused. Poor customer service, indeed. Perhaps they picked up a flippant tone to my original email?
Oh yeah, you probably need to read this to know what I’m talking about: ♩♫ Where have all the Quiznos gone? ♬♪

To: world.and.lunar.domination@gmail.comGood afternoon, Waldo.
Per your inquiry about Quiznos and its anemic presence. That is, indeed, purposeful. The company has been restructuring – teetering on Chapter 11 – for the past year, year and a half.
In the process, it named new members to the executive team and closed its underperforming shops. However, the company has embarked upon a turnaround effort – new marketing, new international markets. Don’t count it out just yet.
You may start to see Quiznos popping up again within the next couple of years.
Thanks for reaching out. Hope this helps.

Well, so there’s that. Chapter 11 can’t be a good thing. So, that’s why all those local stores closed. How can they not make money? People need to eat. People like sandwiches. Make the sandwiches well, and people will eat there. Seems simple.
Still waiting for an official answer from Quiznos. Perhaps they’d like to defend this position. I have a feeling I’ll never get one.
Oh my goodness.
So funny. I like this John Moe character. There’s plenty more pop song correspondences, and even more content at McSweeney’s Internet Tendency. I really dig this cat’s style.
