Should I write a letter to corporate about my experience? (Subway restaurant)?

So for over a month now I have been debating on whether or not to write corporate a letter about my experience at Subway. I am not sure whether to let the whole thing go, or to voice my concerns and frustrations, even though I know it probably will do no good. My situation - I worked at Subway for almost a year and a half. I was recently fired last month. The reason... "drama". I don't want to get into how the drama started, but that was my reason for being fired. While I admit, drama occurred and I was involved - it was not a reason to be fired. I was fired after going in to talk to the manager (who was involved in the drama - I was friends with her, then not) about the 4 hours she had scheduled me for. I left the store thinking everything was going to be fine, an hour later I got a voicemail from her saying she and the owner had talked and decided to let me go. To, "pick up your check, drop off your uniform"....I am completely shocked, I call the owner and he basically yells at me, saying I've done this and that and created drama, and he hung up. I did not get to say a word. I couldn't believe how he had just treated me and that I was fired. I had NEVER been late, never told twice how to do my job, he always praised how good of a worker I was, I never had any complaints from customers/co workers, and NO warnings whatsoever prior to the firing. I had never been written up or even given a verbal warning. Just fired, out of no where, through a phone call. I filed for unemployment - the owner tried to fight it, but I won. Obviously, he fired me for drama? The lady concluded there was NO misconduct at work. Life goes on, but I am still upset about the whole thing. Then, just last week, I am told from the manager who I see at Walmart (the store in which Subway is inside) that I am banned from Subway. What?! I am BANNED? I have done NOTHING wrong and the owner says I am not allowed anywhere near his store. I am friends with most of the employees there, and they have told me he is mad I am getting unemployment and that I have no reason to be in his store. This is when I decide I need to do something. I think legally is has the right to ban me, for whatever reason, whether it's right or wrong. But I have never felt more disrespected, treated unfairly, and not to mention that he is the most unprofessional employer I have ever worked for. He had no grounds to fire me in the first place. He was told things from the manager (who was upset with me after not wanting to be friends) that were not true and made me out to be someone who he wanted to fire, but did not ever come to me to talk or ask questions. I went to him SEVERAL times asking to talk because there were problems and he never had time. I am really upset about the situation, especially after the banning me thing. He treated me like I was some sort of criminal. Almost everyone at the store that works there now I am friends with, and they all disagree with his decision and most believe the manager had a lot to do with my firing because of her personal issues with me, but no one wants to say anything for fear of losing their jobs. It is so unfortunate that they can not even voice their opinions to their boss - who you are suppose to trust and count on if there are any problems. I was thinking of writing corporate, but am not sure if I will sound just like a disgruntled ex employee or not. I don't want to make a fool of myself. But I am honestly concerned about that place. I don't want this to happen to anyone else and feel like I should say something. I am just one person, though, I know. This is not the first time there has been an "unhappy" ex employee at this store. People have been fired or have quit for the same reasons - unfairness and owner not caring to deal with issues in the work place. I believe I am the only one to not be given any sort of warning before being fired, too. I don't know if the franchise has some sort of policy for this. I know for his store, he had "rules" that included being given 3 warnings THEN fired. Unless there was serious grounds - like stealing or violence, neither of which I was close to doing. What should I do? Anything at all? Thanks for reading..
