根据融化奶酪的原则，地铁决定介绍新的熔体三明治，以帮助造成其下垂的命运。因此，Subway Fresh Melts在本周的三种经典品种中首次亮相：金枪鱼，火腿和奶酪以及牛排和奶酪。
但是，地铁高管所希望的整个土地上没有欢乐。取而代之的是，有一个成熟的起义，不是人民，而是来自地铁专营权的所有者。在致公司总部的一封信中，北美地铁加盟商协会（NAASF）宣布，尽管它赞赏地铁开始出售的决定高价高级三明治可以改善利润，它不能认可新的新鲜融化，因为使员工处于危险之中。三明治装在袋子里，员工必须手工放烤面包机，使他们面临烧伤的危险。此外，融化的奶酪会损害烤面包机本身。
该协会在发给其成员和转载餐厅业务。“We are hopeful that [Franchise World Headquarters] will confront these issues immediately and allow us the opportunity to stand with them and endorse this promotion.... The majority of the significant issues to this point have either been ignored or met with ‘we are working on it’ as responses.”
餐厅业务contacted Subway’s Franchise World Headquarters, which defended its decision to introduce the new melts in an emailed statement: “In addition to providing extensive training materials, a standard protocol is to thoroughly test all new products and innovations and make operational and equipment adjustments as needed, ensuring that our franchisees and hard-working sandwich artists are able to safely and consistently execute a quality meal that guests expect.” (Translation: Subway employees are encouraged to use tongs or a paddle to put the sandwiches in the toaster.) Matters remain at a deadlock. But maybe, in this case, melted cheese is不是答案。
