It’s the principle.
On my monthly breakfast run to McD’s I usually order a bacon and cheese biscuit. That’s not on the menu, so I almost always get dinged for a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and pay for an egg I don’t get. I need to tell them, nope, key it as biscuit + American + bacon to save me the 60 cents or so. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s the idea that I need the money more than they do-and BTW do your job correctly, not the easy way.
Today, they got it right the first time!:eek:
Which I think would make for a better case than “I paid the price I knew it would be but I could have got it cheaper if I paid attention.”
I would imagine the word “value” does indeed imply some sort of discount. It is deceitful, if true and the onus to be honest should be on the business, not on the consumer to ferret out dishonesty.
if this is a real case it wont be too hard for precedent I mean they nail grocery stores for this bs all the time …
All someone has to do is show a pattern of over charging with out changing the prices on the menus
Actually theres a way to get around some dominos pizza prices … the big draw is the medium 5.99 pizza/salad/side ect if you order more than one thing
But depending on how picky you get you can a medium “specialty” pizza cheaper than a small one
Like say you want a bbq chicken pizza but you think 7/8.99 is to much for a small just choose the 5.99 deal and put the chicken and onions your self …
Interesting that a little humor is considered a problem
Usually jokes call attention to themselves by being funny.
Your remark wasn’t the least bit humorous, nor did it seem to be intended as such.

I thought I made myself clear before, justmeetee. If you do not wish to participate constructively in a discussion, then stay out of it. Since you apparently didn’t consider the bold red text to be an indication that you should pay attention, let’s see if a Warning causes the lesson to sink in.
On that note, a 20-piece nugget is $4.99, and a 10-piece is $4.49.
A recent promotion is the various 2-fer combos. 2 items for $2.50 or 2 items for $5. Not really an “Extra Value Meal” because it’s not bundling fries and a drink, but just giving you the 2 items you want.
Sometimes after work, I’ll pick up “2 McChicken for $2.50” on the value board for my train ride home. Recently I noticed the price for a single McChicken sandwich. $1.19. Hmmmmmm. But I’m not going to sue over it.
Huh. I’d seen the headlines but not checked. If it really is an issue of automatically making the combo, even if the combo is more expensive, then maybe there is a legitmate issue here.
I mean, it’s a nice feature when the combo is cheaper, so I could see doing this accidentally, and not updating when the combos became more expensive. But that’s something you should fix, and give the guy a deal for noticing it, so that a law suit doesn’t happen.
I mean, you’ll probably settle out of court anyways, but no need to have it be a public deal.
This isn’t “overcharging”, because the price on the menu for the combo is being charged. The fact that you could get it for cheaper by ordering each of the combo’s items separately doesn’t mean you’re being “overcharged” (charged more than the quoted price).
I recall noting that Red Robin’s bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg on top cost less than their regular bacon cheeseburger – you know, the one with no fried egg.
And so you could order the former, and ask 'em to hold the egg – or to put it on the side, if you wanted – and you’d pay less than if you’d simply ordered the latter.
That’s apparently no longer the case, but I can’t have been the only one to see it.
It is if you ask for two combo menu items seperately and they automatically charge you the “value” charge. This lawsuit needs clarification.
