What about by weight? Are you still getting 12" worth of bun? Maybe they bake wider or taller. As long as the right amount of ingredients are in it I don't see an issue.
And why do we always have to allow for things to short change the customer? I mean you will NEVER get a 13 inch one, which in statistical class should be just as common as the 11 inch one. Based on the BS excuse we heard of it is our trademark and not an actual measurement of our sandwiches we can read clearly what it really means we will have GREED in place at all time is what it means.
Well, I have to measure my sub next time. Our subs in Finland aren't footlong, they're 30 cm long and cost 9-12 dollars depending on the fillings. With that kind of money I want my sub to be 30 cm (which is actually 11.8 inches).
This is because most commercials that have food in it (especially fast foot joints) don't even use food that is edible in their commercials... Sometimes it isnt even actual food. Instead, they do crazy things like glue sesame seeds on a hamburger bun to make them look just right, adding paint and/or makeup to food to make things stand out, etc.

You buy 1 liter // gallon of gasoline at the gas station and they pump only pumps up 0.9 liters but the display still says 1 liter sold and you being charged with the cost for 1 liter// gallon whatever you want to pump your gas in type of measure system.
You think you are getting cheated as well or do you go oh no who cares it is a non issue it is only 1/10 of a liter missing. If you feel you should be entitled to 1 liter at the pump explain why the same rule of business ethics should not apply to Subway or other business of your choice.
Really are we so out of touch with common sense in todays world that we accept to get taken advantaged of since it is the par for the coarse anyway so who cares.

Lots of countries do since it makes it sound cheaper and the average joe blow falls for it being cheaper if 1 company listed prices including and the example is 102 including all taxes and the other company listed 99 and you have to add 15% in taxes ontop of it most of the dumb customers will think the 99 is cheaper since thats what it says on the sign.

I used to work at Subway and ill tel you this, the frozen dough we would get (yeah not fresh) soon as it would thaw out we would have to stretch it as much as possible to make it look like a 12 inch since they come in pretty short.
Also if the price was listed with taxes they couldnt make national ads anymore since every state has different sales tax so in Delware something will be much cheaper than in California since Delaware has no sales tax and California has sales tax of 7.5% plus some cities in Ca have an additional .1 to 1% sales tax. Standard pricing in ads with tax included would be impossible nationwide

A footlong sub should be 12 inches OR LONGER, never shorter. I'm glad consumers are raising a stink over this. It seems like quibbling, but if we don't quibble then corporations aren't going to be afraid to continue short-changing us.
Stupid argument. As much as I think subway are way overpriced, junk food, I don't understand it. I could only find 1 picture which "clearly" shows an 11 inch subway.

Now look at the other images which seem to be people jumping on the band wagon, just because there doesn't seem to be any other company to bash at the moment.

See how the ruler they are measuring them with doesn't even start at the tip of the sandwich? The natural shape of a baguette means its rounded. Does that not count as part of it? Of course it does, these are just people trying to bash a company because they really have nothing better to do.
Even IF all sandwiches were 11 inch, before humidity, baking/toasting and handling effects on bread. What is 1 inch? When you purchase a packet of crisps (chips if you are American) you don't measure the exact amount with a pair of scales. No you know that the advertised weight is an estimate, as it will never be the same every time. I can almost be certain, if you were to buy enough foot long sandwiches, that some would be slightly over 12 inch, and some would be under. The only reason this seems to be a big deal is because we only see the images posted of people with 11 11 1/2 inch subs.

I'll also say this about Subway: The only sandwich shop I've ever gotten crusty bread. Bread should be moist, not crusty or crouton-like (not that bad, but you get the idea).
It might just be the one particular location I got bread like that, since it is a gas station/Subway amalgamation.
