Subway is taking heat for allegedly shorting customers out of a full inch amid criticism suggesting its footlong sandwiches measure in at only 11 inches. The New York Post even got into the fray, conducting its own "investigation" into the matter, finding only three in seven footlongs measure in at the full 12 inches. Subway told the Associated Press in an e-mailed statement,
"We are reinforcing our policies and procedures in an effort to ensure our offerings are always consistent no matter which Subway restaurant you visit."
