You betta off. Straw Hat tastes like straw hats!

unclehomerr..

That's B.S. I haven't seen the ad or gone in and try to get the deal but if what you are saying is true, that's just wrong and maybe illegal. I bet if people complain to the right person you'll get some sweet 'sorry bout that' deals. I think Mountain Mikes still has a $5 all you can eat lunch.

Another FAKE story...please remove! Probably posted by mountain mikes herself...

Just another tasteless advertisement gone bad. Example: Big-O Tires during fireworks display on July 3rd-airplane advertisement. They should publicly apologize for that disruption. My first thought was, as a client of Big-O, I'll buy "American" next time.

Recognizing that Upset in P-Town didn't establish which paper falsely printed ad, removing this story is the right course to take.

Nobody said it was in a newspaper.

The poster referred to the 'back' of the ad. I'm thinking 'flyer'.

unclehomerr..

Who said "NEWS" paper. Paper is a flyer unclehomerr.. would you not agree? Why so technical?

I'm not sure how this kind of business works, but maybe they aren't part of the regular franchise like the rest of the Straw Hats. When I lived In Tahoe, the Blockbuster didn't partake in the no late fee's deal- how you have 7 days or something after the initial due date and after that date you own the movie. I asked a worker at the Blockbuster and she said something about the owners, something about franchises, and that's all I remember.

Often coupons say "at participating locations." I think the reason is that most franchises don't require their franchisees to honor all promotions.

Looks like the Hopyard location was initially part of the promotion, then they pulled out, for whatever reason, after the ad was printed. Good business sense would dictate that they should honor the ad. The negetive PR will cost them much more.

With all due respect, Pete... you're an idiot.

"which paper falsely printed ad"

unclehomerr..

IF it's true, they were legally obligated to honor the flyer! PERIOD!

Start a class action suit! LOL

With all due respect unclehomerr..I'll take what your word is worth. Again,why so technical? Don't get any pizza on your face.

Literal, not technical, Frank. You've got your 'al's' mixed up.

The whole point isn't worth the energy you've put into it.

unk..

OK -- it was in the Tri-Valley Herald, which means it also ran in the Valley Times since they are the same paper basically. And no, it's not a hoax. I talked with a member of the Straw Hat corporate office and he agreed it was wrong they didn't honor it. True, not everyone has to cooperate, but if you're going to have your location on the ad, I think they should honor it.

Pete and Cholo, please get your information straight before ripping into someone for something where it is you who are wrong.

Thank you Upset in P-Town. Was that so hard to clarify the source? No...I was not wrong to ask. Information is a valuable asset to have. Again...Thank You.

A current employee informed me that he didn't know a thing about it and as far as he was concerned, everybody would have to pay the current full price. He even stated that he didn't believe me and I walked out.

Cholo is on their trail! Good job detective Cholo!!!!! I for one am sure glad you chose not to spend your money there, that'll show 'em.

Why is anyone eating pizza? Sorry, a friend of mine just gave a presentation on fast-food and to be honest fast food is gross, unhealthy and leads to posts like this one. Go to your local grocery store and buy $.50 of celery or green beans. Eat them and unleash the true intelligence that lingers underneath fat infested food.

A business establishment caught in a game of Bait and Switch?

I'm shocked! Shocked!! To find out such low and dirty tactics are going on around here!

The Ultimate Ceeseburger has something like:

I went to Copy and Paste this and low and behold, you cant copy and pase this "nutrition" info from the Jack site!

Why in the world would that be the case?
LOL

1250 sodium

Let's all get over it and move on. Life is too short.

Let's not forget, at Straw Hat the OWNER is there everyday working his butt off for his customers. You just don't find that anymore. This may have a chain attached name but the owners are hardworking!!! I will eat there anyday, coupon or not!!!
