Discussed, with operator, facility's practice of giving away sample subs to customers.
Per operator the method utilized is as follows: mondays thru fridays, five cold ham & cheese subs, 5 cold turkey subs and 1 cold avocado and cheese sub are prepared between 9:45 am to 10:15 am, cut into thirds and individually wrapped. These subs are then put into a delivery bag for transport. The driver travels approximately 5 minutes (up to 3 miles) away from the facility. The driver, typically, heads to box stores and/or other large businesses to hand the subs out. These subs are gone within a very short time frame. The driver is usually back at the store by 11:30 am or earlier. This practice is done once again in the afternoon. Subs are prepared between 4:00 pm and 4:30 pm and then delivered to another nearby area, given away to customers, and the driver is usually back at the store around 5:30 pm or earlier. The maximum amount of time involved is 2 hours.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
