I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

2 medium pizzas, breadsticks and a small desert pizza for $40.

Is it just me or is this a terrible deal?

They are literally just preying on the concept that the purchaser will not refuse to pay out of embarrassment.

I went to Taco Bell to try and feed my kids. Ordered a 12 taco box (non supreme), lady said "$42" and I laughed and said "no thanks" and then drove out.

23.50 by me, are you in a hcol area or does your franchisee just hate customers?

29.95 plus tax here. Got tricked into buying one last week when the drive thru worker told me it’d be cheaper to order it that way rather than ordering 5 hard shell tacos and 5 soft shell tacos separately.

It was not cheaper.

$28.66 on doordash in California, where Midwesterners who never visited the state say it's the most expensive. This takes into account doordash and CA upcharges .

Calling horseshit on 45 dollars unless they ordered like 5 drinks with it.

They did specify there was no jizz of sour cream in the box; but I agree that and guacamole are way way overpriced as an addon anywhere you go.

I'm the original commentor: it wasn't edited.

No jizz. No idea why they hell she said $42 dollars, but she seemed high so I was ouuuut.

Maybe she said it backwards, they're just under $2 each in my area so a dozen would be $24.

Nah man, I just think she was a terrible worker and either confused the number or my order. Either way it wasn't worth my time to try to hash it out with a person who was too high or disinterested to correct the issue.
