I've been to McD's before that had two different prices for the same cheeseburger, depending on whether you got it from the dollar menu or the regular menu. So I've just developed a habit to say "from the dollar menu" or "the dollar menu _____" when I order."Enough expository banter. It's time we fight like men. And ladies. And ladies who dress like men. For Gilgamesh...IT'S MORPHING TIME!"

I've had the opposite happen to me.
After church on a sunday we tend to go out for lunch to a nice country pub. One week we try a new one which has a lunchtime special. Several main meals are priced at about £4 each but only between certain times, considereing we normally have sandwiches we decided to have mail meals for £1 more(we would not have ordered the main meals if this offer was not on). It was between these times both when we ordered and when we asked for the bill. The bill charged us between £6 and £9 for each meal.
The immediate assumption is that theres a mistake and that they automaticly put the full prices without realising. When we queried the prices, the landlady came roaring out of the kitchen and started shouting about how we were trying to ruin her business, how we never said it was that offer we wanted, how if it was that offer she wouldn't have given us as much or such good portions (repeatedly stating that there was a lot of chilli given to my sister).
We ended up with our meals reduced by £1 and getting barred.
Since then we state clearly even when obvious which menu we're ordering off.

Terry, you just have superior listening skills. I don't really eat at McD's, but anytime I go to the wendy's by my house, if I ask for their chicken nuggets and don't specify the ".99" part, they charge me for the 10-piece meal. Blame the countless other fast-food employees who epicly fail at their jobs."I'm working for popcorn - what I get paid doesn't rise to the level of peanuts." -Courtesy of Darkwish

karath: i don't mean to diss you. but the wendy's incorporation took a shit and thus are all the wendy's in my area. any wendy's i've been too elsewhere is fantastic... but not the ones around here.
they messed up my burger, i politely asked them to fix it... they refused unless i paid for a new burger
they gave me the wrong drink, i politely asked for the correct one, they said i would have to pay for a new one.
they forgot to give me my fries, i showed them the receipt and politely asked for them... they accused me of eating them already and said i'd have to pay...

Quoth TryNotToBeThatOne View PostIn the US it's a burger chain known for its square burgers & chocolatey shake thing that you eat with a spoon called a Frosty. And for years, the owner, Dave Thomas did his own commercials. They are a big sponsor of foster kid and adoption programs, partly because Dave & his wife adopted kids, including the Wendy for whom the chain is named.
*stickler alert*
Dave Thomas was a big supporter of adoption because he himself was adopted. I'm fairly certain most if not all his kids are his own.
Sorry, had to clarify. Pet peeve and all that.
Also, Wendy's hasn't had a commercial worth a damn since he died."You know, there are times when it's a source of personal pride not to be human." - Hobbes

Quoth Terry View PostIt's not exactly something I get upset about, but I just don't see what's the point. You don't need to say "I want a McChicken sandwich off the dollar menu". Just say "I want a McChicken". We know it's a dollar. It's as if they think that if they don't mention it being on the dollar menu, for some unknown reason, they will be charged more.
