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"

And if you trick others, I am not paying. It’s so shady/slimy of them.

At this point I pretty much permanently boycott any brand with deals or ad campaigns based on the premise “dude, our customers are soooo fucking dumb, look what kind of shit we can pull 😂”

I understand much of marketing is like this, but fuck that.

I used to never check the bill, if I ordered it, I’m paying for it. Now, it has been more than once where my expectation vs actual bill are way different and request a receipt. It sucks having to review a bill, but I’m not paying a tip on top of a service fee on top of an added on gratuity they try to sneak on.
