According to wikipedia - "In early June 2005, Subway announced that the popular customer rewards program would be phased out due to counterfeiting. Another reason, which was not stated by the company, for the discontinuation of the program was that there was a large amount of internal theft of stamps by Subway employees and affiliates, including the sale of rolls of the stamps online at places such as eBay. Officially the Sub Club program has been discontinued in the US and Canada by Doctor's Associates[12], but additional markets have also made local decisions to discontinue the program."When I worked there we accepted club cards and I'm here to tell you the real deal behind the phasing out of these cards. First off, Subway pays their workers minium wage, or pretty close to it. They also make their workers work almost every single holiday. You local subway is always open on Christmas when even Burger King is closed.
So it's no surprise to me that employees were selling rolls of the stamps on ebay, got to pay the bills and if you work at subway you are working paycheck to paycheck. I really think that if subway paid their workers even just a $1.50 a more an hour, service would be better, and they wouldn't have so many workers stealing things. I saw full bags of chicken terriyaki being stolen out of the back freezer, by disgruntled workers who knew they were getting screwed over and took matters into their own hands.
Hello Subway wake up and pay your people better you'd be surprised what a little money love would do for employee moral, service, and quality. Stop spending money on those stupid Jared commercials and pay your people better!

Yeah, no doubt.
Moral goes along way with a company. More so then the top people realize. A little loss in profits easily would make up for the moral at the bottom level.
I'd like to stick some of these top execs that decide to keep subway open at a store on Xmas
