Sept. 5, 2014, I went to zeros in victory crossing Portsmouth va to get a sub. After my sub was finished the cook proceeded to place my hot sub on the nasty counter top with no wrap under it. I asked was that where all the subs go after they are finished and the cashier said yes and handed me mysub with an attitude. I took the sub and gave it back to the cook to be remade and then placed on the wrapper instead of a nasty counter top full of crumbs. He proceed to call his manager on the phone with his gloves that he prepared the food with. He then told me he could offer me a refund because it would be the same thing. So I guess they have to put your food on a nasty, disgusting counter and you have to eat it. I took my money back and left. Poor, poor customer service, nasty attitude, filthty conditions. This place needs to be condemed. Highly Pissed
