They are slave drivers and make you work 12 hour shifts and you are never allowed to take any type of a break. I never thought this summer job could ever be this horrible.

]]> Comment on Chase Fraud Detector and Payment Protector by Anonymous http://www.endlessgibberish.com/chase-fraud-detector-and-payment-protector/#comment-89282 Anonymous Sun, 07 Jun 2009 19:34:07 +0000 http://www.endlessgibberish.com/chase-fraud-detector-and-payment-protector/#comment-89282 I got a letter from Chase “congratulating” me on enrolling in Payment Protector. Since I don’t carry a balance, I don’t need it. I called Chase immediately and told them to cancel it. They did. However, a week later I got my monthly statement showing a charge for $48.04 for Payment Protector. I called again and was told that because I had canceled the plan during the current billing cylce, the “computer system” could not delete the charge right away. I was also reassured that my account would be credited the next billing cycle. Sounds ok on the surface, but it is really an unfair business practice because if I just pay the current bill, including the $48.04 I have in effect loaned that money to Chase for free, whereas Chase can relend it to its customers at 20%! If I don’t pay the $48.04 Chase charges ME the 20%! If I dispute the charge, I have to waste my time writing a letter to Chase (on top of navigating through a voice mail system, being put on hold and complaining to Chase personnel on the phone). Thus, no matter what I do, I lose–all because Chase enrolled me in the plan without my knowledge or consent. Now, imagine Chase sending out hundreds of thousands, if not millions of letters, congratulating its customers on enrolling in the Payment Protector Plan. Think how many people don’t read their statements closely and just pay the whole bill or throw away the letter as junk mail without reading it. Now I understand how Chase was able to afford to buy Washington Mutual! This is just plain THEFT, yet Chase is allowed to get away with it. It seems to me that a class action is warranted. By John Fessler on Mar 4, 2009 If you don't carry a balance, then how did Payment Protector bill you $48.04? Payment Protector doesn't bill you unless you're revolving a balance. Secondly, you HAD to have signed up in some way wheter intentional or not in order for it to be billed. They don't get your credit card number by calling Chase. You're story is b.s. Not the program. If people would pay attention to what they're doing, they wouldn't have these "surprise" charges on their bills. Take responsibility folks!! P.S. The FEDS purchased Wamu and within hours turned around and sold to Chase so they wouldn't have to deal with it. I got a letter from Chase “congratulating” me on enrolling in Payment Protector.

Your saying that Subway employees need the customer to tell them how to make the advertised sandwich? That's absolutely insane. Aren't these people trained properly. I've never gone to a restaurant where I had to tell the people how to make the order. Yeah, I can request if the cheese is different or add something or take something away, but there should be a DEFAULT set-up for every item on the menu. OMG!

These were specifically formatted based on numerous taste tests by folks that Subway hired to tell them what tasted better. But remember, subway employees should make a sandwich the way YOU want it. The tricker is, if you are not ordering a regular menu offered sandwich (say you want turkey and salami) that's up to the owners/store managers to figure out what price they will charge you. Want more veggies? No problem! All you have to do is say, "May I have more olives than that please?" SURE! There is no reason an employee should deny your request for extra veggies and Subway strongly recommends NOT CHARGING for extra veggies. As for "not knowing" how to make a sub...that's because it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A CUSTOMER to tell the employee what you want on it. They don't just "come a certain way". And not everyone who works there sits on their fat ass all day watching $5 footlong ads on tv to memorize what the subs look like in the commercial, so they can make it that way for people who can't make decisions for themselves. You should know what you want when it's your turn to order. And if you're not sure, perhaps ask "what would you recommend putting on this?" And when the incompetent employee cannot answer your question intelligently, remind yourself, "That's why they only get paid MINIMUM WAGE." And for the rest of complaints, perhaps you should consider applying at your local subway restaurant and pester them for a job until they hire you, so that you (who are far more intelligent than Freddy D himself) can show them how a proper subway restaurant should be run. Honestly though, I am appalled at the numerous complaints of the employees NOT doing their jobs the correct way...you would think the economy being what it is, people would be better workers? I guess not in some places. I used to work at a cell phone company, and I would get customers that complained a lot when there was something unsatisfactory to them and they threatened to cancel service, they would throw a fit when they were reminded of the cancellation fee, saying they were never told about it before, even though we had a contract signed by them stating that they read and understood all the terms and conditions (where the cancellation policy is clearly explained). It is OUR JOB TO BE BETTER CONSUMERS and actually READ fine print BEFORE you go do something, and then you won't have to bitch about it later to some poor kid on the phone who doesn't really care that you weren't smart enough to add text messaging to your teen's phone plan (who uses 5,000+ messages in a month).

Either that or they just ethnically hire each other. None the less, they used to charge $0.75 a re-fill until one day me and my buddies saw a food inspector and the next day that was gone - I am assuming they were just ripping us off. Besides that, the younger daughter is just extremely annoying. It takes her like 5 seconds to put the damn sub together - even when you're getting everything on it, she just tosses everything on it as fast as she can. We get 2 pieces of ham for the 6-inch sandwiches, and around 6 for the 12-inch. It's really terrible service in my opinion, but every once in a while you hit a rookie and s/he makes an amazing sub. Is there like a written guideline for the amount of meat/veggies subway employees must place on a sub so that I can get my money's worth?

I tell them to make it just the way it comes and they have no idea. That really annoys me cuz they advertise a specific sandwich but when you order it they have no idea how to make it. So i tell them to make it how it is on there website or commercials and they have no idea. That's at every subway I've been to. That why i hate subway. Just make me a sandwich.

You can file a complain online at www.helpwithmybank.com. I filed a complaint and they called Chase with my complaint. If everyone who is scammed by Chase complains, maybe then Chase will stop this fraud.
