Okay, I forayed into Capriotti’s yesterday to test-drive this coupon before it expired.
A trainee was working the register. The manager was not present, whom I know by sight. I tactically exploited the situation by stating calmly I wanted to order two subs with the free bacon app offer, a cheesesteak for DH and a BLT for me. Continuing in a “this is perfectly normal” tone, I then asked if they could just put his bacon on my sandwich, and they did. It was an impressive BLT. I kindly donated some bacon to DH for his cheesesteak, as something to try. Now, he is a born Philadelphian, likes his cheesesteaks classic wit’ grilled onions, cheese, hots (no mayo, lettuce, tomato, etc.). He did allow the bacon could well be an approved local variation going forward.
The coupon expires 10/31. I may have to reattack.
