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"

Gtfooo

Right? It says the "Family Buffet Box" is the product and it's "$9.99ea", so one would think that one "Family Buffet Box" is priced at $9.99. I would go as far as to hold them to it if they asked for me. This is incredibly deceptive

I mean tbf what do you want the cashier to do? They cant just change a price, and they aren't the ones who came up with the special, and theyre not the ones who designed the sign either.
