Subway Controversy

The old saying “Tis the season to be jolly” has been associated with all the up and coming holidays, but recently the “jolly” was taken out of the season according to some Christians. Last week Starbucks, a major coffee franchise released their new holiday cup, and many Christians are in an uproar. The solid red cup, to me personally, is classic and timeless, while respecting all types of religions. I believe that the Christian community that has turned against Starbucks is putting their time and effort into the wrong place and are completely over reacting.

“The threat of blood on the tracks has become constant as the number of passengers surges to a level unseen since 1948”, Andrea Peyser writes in “Subways are New York’s Biggest Deathtrap”. The New York Post reported several subway incidents happened in the past weeks: a man in a wheelchair fell onto the tracks and was struck by a train in Brooklyn (Moore), a woman was shoved onto the tracks and killed by a train in Times Square (Furfaro), a man was pushed onto the tracks and injured (Moore), and a teenage boy found dead on the tracks in Bronx (Prendergast). These alarming number of incidents raised the public concern for subway safety, which made “MTA board member Charles Moerdler… [to renew] a push to have the doors installed on New York City’s

From personal experiences I've noticed similarities and differences between two restaurants I occasionally visit. When comparing Subway and Eegee's the most distinct similarity is both locations serve sub sandwiches. As far as location, you can find a Subway restaurant anywhere in the United States whereas you can only find Eegee's here in Tucson, Arizona. Eegee's serves fresh french fries, while Subway offers a variety of bags of chips. A clear-cut difference is Eegee’s is known for their fruit filled frozen drinks.

In this news article, it describes how a corporation like Chic Fil a is standing up for the businesses morals, values, and beliefs. I chose to include this article as it supports the argument that a business has a huge reputation to uphold and as business owner or representative makes a comment on controversial issue, such as refusing gays, it can lead to mass support or protest. Another reason I chose to include this article is because of the business the news story decided to cover. Chic fil a is a popular fast food restraint and is known for its great customer service and Christian

After the counter was opened to all people, the four college boys were invited back, however, the four boys agreed the food was not very good.

Chipotle Mexican Grill Incorporated has always had a great reputation for being an inexpensive, high quality, fast-food chain. That reputation suddenly diminished when the company had to close 43 restaurants in Oregon and Washington State towards the end of 2015. An E.coli outbreak had emerged at six restaurants in that region, and soon afterwards the same was reported in seven other states. Health officials cited a particular restaurant at Boston College for improper handling of poultry and the presence of a sick employee after 80 students had become ill after eating there. The cause was a common virus, norovirus. After instances of contaminated food, Chipotle was being thoroughly questioned about their pledge for serving “food with integrity.”

The food at six flags is also very expensive. A meal for one person costs around $15 while a family meal, that serves four people, costs around $40. A bad thing about this is the food choices are mostly fast food. They serve salads and a couple other foods but it would mostly be considered unhealthy fast food. The park also prohibits outside food to enter the park (Six Flags) so it would be better to eat before entering the park or purchasing food from the park.

For my social norm, I chose to read aloud on the subway. In addition, I read from Ta-Nahisi Coates’ between the world and me. To summarize, this novel is about Coates writing a letter to his child regarding the hardships and realities of being black in the United States. Considering the fact that we as a society are uncomfortable with discussing race, I found it helpful to kill two birds with one stone.

As mrs.clark was telling me the truth about jerry, my mouth dropped to the ground my eyes where wide open with many emotions going thru my mind. I was shocked that jerry lied to me but in my mind I was thinking he had done it for a reason. He had to do it for a reason because there is no way a boy like jerry would ever lie and specially to me. After I found out that jerry lied to me I wanted to talk to him. I was looking for jerry all around the orphanage because I couldn't find him and then one of jerrys friends told me that he left when he heard I found out the truth.

This picture was taken the day of the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. My cousin Danny and I were hiking along a trail called the Subway Trail on top of Vermont's highest peak, Mount Mansfield. Subway trail is a fun but short .15 mile side trail that offers very entertaining views of the Stowe cliffside and the great expanse that is Vermont, all at the cost of being on the cliffs edge of the mountain. This trail is not for people who don't like heights or having to boulder their way over obstacles. The entire trail is covered with large, unwieldy rocks that can be difficult to manage, you might as well be rock crawling for a good portion of it. I took this picture I'd say about .5 miles into the trail and I took it for a couple different reasons.

Does controversy sell? This is one of the biggest questions that I think advertising agencies ask themselves every day. Though some controversy seems to be intentional, like the oversexualized Hardees commercial to unintentional like the Dunkin’ Donuts blackface ad. Some may argue that brands will do this to help change their branding. The Hardees that I remember growing up was a family friendly fast food establishment selling burgers, fried chicken, and giant gallons of sweet tea. Somewhere along the way it changed its focus to cater more towards blue collar working males, making the burgers bigger, greasier, and “manly”. Looking at the advertisements of scantily clad women eating, are they are controversial, yes, but they fit the image that the company is trying to portray.

You mention that if you were one of the metro New Yorkers that you wouldn’t have stopped, but this actually happened in Washington D.C. not New York City. Yes they are similar in the fact that they both have large subway systems, but New Yorkers do have a slight different view on beggars than the rest of the world. I have been to New York and ridden the subways and seen the classic subway musician beggars, you are correct in that most New Yorkers would not stop or pay attention to a musician playing. But this happened in a D.C. metro station, and they have a different view on the morning commute. Do you think that these two major metropolitan cities though similar do in fact look at street musicians differently? Given that New Yorkers have

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an in-depth analysis of the conduct of a market research project exploring customer expectation, satisfaction and behaviour in relation fast food restaurants. Particular attention is paid to Subway restaurants outlining the key strategies needed in order to increase popularity and therefore visitor numbers.

While McDonald’s and Burger King have fought over a percentage of the same market share, each company has a unique strategy with which they’ve approached the market. McDonald’s aims to deliver an inexpensive, standard, quality meal with high level of uniformity both in burger structure and in delivery times. Burger King also strives for an inexpensive, quality meal, but focuses on allowing the customer a degree of flexibility in the menu – a goal reflected in their long-time slogan, “Have it your way.” This difference results in distinct objectives for each restaurant that resonate
