Food Scams

When they charge $1,000,000 for a single mcdonalds frenchfry

>go to a restaurant
>they have a forced tip policy

Krab chowder

When you go to burger king and order a Big Mac and when they ask you to pay it turns out it costs $1,000,000

>gluten free rice

When you order a pizza and it says it costs $5 but when it arrives they say they meant $5 PER SLICE and when you only have one $5 bill to give the driver they throw all but one slice in front of you into the storm gutter

When you order a two-bread sandwich and they charge separately for each bread.

This thread is an abortion.

>>9392486
Yes. If you're suspected of trying to leave without tipping, you'll be dragged out back and strapped into the Tipping Chair, and tortured until you tip.

This pisses me off. Long John silvers are purpatrators of this. They give you 2 packs of tarter sauce for 5 pieces of fish. And when you ask for more they give 2 more packs. It pisses me off.

Its bad practice. I won't offer you another drink until you've finished yours. It also looks indecent for other patrons if you've got drinks lined up.

Angus burgers...such a scam.
The only thing that makes angus different than any other cow part is the degree of marbling...which means nothing if the meat is ground. Same with wagyu or kobe

Delivery fees on pizza. They don't go to the driver, they only exist so that Domino's/ Pappa John's/ Pizza Hut can tell you that a $12.00 pizza costs $9.00

>>9397655
About this... I order pizza and most of the time is free delivery, so I tip the driver, around 10%.
Now, I'm not from the US and tipping is something we do, but no one would crucify you if you don't.
This pizza place I really like charges around 10% (not fixed, but considering what I usually buy), so I'm inclined not to tip the driver.
Yet, I feel he expects one.
Should I tip the guy? I mean, they charge me to pay him, so I really don't know.

I always make a mental note of which places have it. And I make sure to ask if it's fresh brewed and not out of the soda machine or the gold peak shit

>regular Oreos 2.50 12 oz
>Diet 100 calorie Oreos 2.75 10 oz

They are literally charging extra for less. Lots of 100 calorie foods are like this is you pay attention. You are getting less food for your money. It's better to just eat less of the regular kind than to buy 100 calorie bullshit.

Fries and drinks at any fast food joint

Costs them nothing and they're still stingy kikes

I could understand the napkins and utensils, and sort of understand the sauce packets. But what does he do with all those straws?

Any place which has disposable napkins, condiment packets, and plastic silverware isn't worth patronizing. Do people really go to such places unironically?

>will try to shut the drive through window before you can ask
>will give you 1 packet of tartar sauce per 3 pieces of fish, same for other sauces if you request them specifically
>will give you an attitude that you asked
>will shut the window again after giving you less than/not what you asked for
>will give you a bigger attitude if you wait and ask for more

Not joking, I am calling their corporate office the next time they pull that shit on me, as it's likely the individual manager/franchise owner trying to cut costs by being a stingy cunt.

>>9394737
The cheese is just left in the open air at fast food places. It stays warm so it melts easy but is also prone to hardening and discoloration. Plus it's always oil based trash. Bringing your own cheese sounds ingenious as fuck

That's fucking absurd, I work at KFC (which is a sister brand of LJS for the uninitiated) and we give sauce cups out like candy. Never charged for a sauce.

this is the worst forced meme i've ever seen

>>9400290
No idea.
But it's happened to me the last half dozen times over the last few years.

I didn't go for about 8 months after the second to last time because it pissed me off so much.
Not to mention them shorting me a few things.

Then when I finally got myself to go back, I get the same shit. And a whole bunch of thinly veiled attitude.

Sometimes I'm too nice to people, ie: I'm a pushover.

But like I said before, if they pull that nonsense on my next visit, I'll be making a very big deal of it. I've had to do it at a Taco Bell several years ago.
Strangely enough, they had a special manager come in and fire the whole staff and train a new one a couple months later.

>>9400902
Not that I think it was related to me directly.
I got a chance to talk to the lady, and her husband by strange coincidence. I guess the sales had plummeted from their bad service/customer service. They obviously turned things around because the store is still there.
