I left this tweet earlier today and thought I’d follow-up on an experience I had with Firehouse subs this afternoon. Kate and I drove over to Firehouse today to grab some lunch for the fam. Couple of combo’s and a kids PB&J were ordered and that was that…I thought…until I got in my car and drove 10 minutes back home only to realize an entire combo wasn’t in the...
