 Outside the Beltway 

Safeway Sandwich Snarl

Linked from the front of WaPo’s web site: The Safeway Sandwich Snarl.

Some woman has gone to way too much trouble to figure out the intricacies of Safeway’s “Buy seven sandwiches, get one free” promotion. Apparently, sandwiches purchased in different parts of the country are counted by zone, so that a sandwich purchased in Maryland and another purchased in California don’t count together toward the elusive free eighth sandwich.

It’s a cruel, cruel world.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.

Yes, but with Nancy in the speakership, injustice like this will be stamped out...if you feed the eighth sandwich to a child.
