Subway Reaches $645000 Settlement With 3 Counties

San Francisco Chronicle:

The Subway sandwich chain has reached a $645,000 settlement with three counties who sued for misleading advertising and overcharging.

Robert Nichols, a Marin County consumer protection prosecutor, says Subway was not granting customers advertised discounts on food, often by not clearly disclosing restrictions on advertised discount promotions.

Nichols says California law requires merchants to charge the lowest prices advertised, regardless of a promotion.
