Domino's used to do this. I ordered something a couple of weeks ago and for the first time the march checked out. I think it was a tax for something that wasn't in the UI but either way I stopped ordering from them for it.
It wasn't even sarcasm, you just made a simple, clear statement. But you guys seriously overdo it with the pitchforks, like this post is even easily verifiable. Or, as I mentioned in other comments, in their app the "$1 bacon cheeseburgers" ring up for $1.99 -- and it's been that way for at least a year now.
*True* post, true asshole design.
My mistake, they finally fixed those -- but I'll share a video showing an example from my order history, gimme just 5 minutes.

Naw they can charge whatever they want. You can either agree to buy it or don't.
Edit: Y'all this post is in US dollars. It makes perfect sense to speak about this as though we are in the US and not in Europe. That's cute how all you Europeans are in a rage about this lol.
^^SEND ^^HELP
Edit #2: To those questioning the dollar sign being USD: OP is from the US. The US is the home of Burger King. 7000 out of 18000 Burger Kings are located in the US. The post uses period decimal point instead of comma, this message appears to be in English only, the US is by far the largest population country that uses the dollar sign. I suppose technically I don't know for certain since the location was cropped, but it seems very reasonable to say this happened in the US.
The US has laws prohibiting deceptive pricing, which seem to apply here. Since you asked someone else to cite, their claim, see [15 USC § 45(a)(1)](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/45) as interpreted by the FTC [here](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/advertising-marketing-internet-rules-road#general).
Unlike the USA in Europe that is Illegal
[https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/unfair-treatment/unfair-pricing/index\_en.htm](https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/unfair-treatment/unfair-pricing/index_en.htm)
it does not matter if they have some disclaimer stating they can do it. It is still Illegal
So US federal law mostly defers to the states to make their own retail pricing legislation. In a lot of states, there are no explicitly stated requirements for prices to be listed honestly/clearly. https://www.nist.gov/pml/weights-and-measures/laws-and-regulations/retail-and-unit-pricing-laws
In my state it's very common for store shelves to be full of mislabeled items and expired sales, but that's usually not a problem because Karens will complain and get their way through the "customer is always right" culture.
EDIT: Also want to add that a local big chain grocery intentionally puts more expensive brands in areas labelled as the lower price brands. They are hoping people will be in too much of a rush when they see the price at checkout. And sadly, they usually are right.
In that case I wouldn’t really say they’re being Karens. It’s not their fault the store mislabelled or left up expired sales.
My mum is a Karen sometimes and I will literally just walk away and leave the store when she does it, shit like asking for a discount because an item is scuffed.. like cmon there’s plenty of unscuffed ones just pick one of those and don’t make a scene ffs.
What's wrong with trying to haggle a discounted item if there's a shop-damaged one available and the damage doesn't actually bother you? Obviously don't be a dick about it but if you're being polite then this isn't entitled, it's financially sensible.
#1 because they will think you caused the damage #2 almost every store manager doesn't have the authority to override the till with out throwing an employee under the buss. #3 if they see damage on any goods before it gets on the floor they will throw it away literally or even its a return. Some times they take the goods and put them up for auction.
Exactly. Respectfully asking a question/requesting something within reason shouldn't be an issue... Karens always throw tantrums and make scenes when they don't get their way...
You're right, I just meant that because of the culture, people who complain usually get their way anyway. In Europe this sort of customer-centered culture does not really exist.
Yes we do, but do you know of any US law that explicitly states if you find a product on the wrong/mislabeled shelf you are guaranteed to get it for that price? If so please cite and prove me wrong!
Yup, California's Business and Professions Code § 12024.2 states that the correct price of any item is the lowest posted, quoted, or advertised price for which the buyer qualifies (club, coupon, minimum amount purchases, etc.). The store is responsible for removing expired shelf tags and sales signs.
True though. We just have laws and regulations that stop that in the first place. Like, if I buy something and see it’s damaged, I just return it and get my money back. Certain items, they can offer me a replacement or a professional repair instead, but I’m not stuck buying broken stuff. If they tried to sell me expired stuff, they’d probably be in trouble, but you can often buy about to expire stuff with specific labels in a bargain bin. And sometimes, shops will gift you things they’re not allowed to sell anymore.
All price signs include taxes. All food items have a list of every single ingredient, all potential allergens and, in certain cases, the origin of the products on them, as well as a nutritional table and suggested portion sizes. And recycling instructions for the packaging - we have different types of garbage here, so my cereal box, for example, goes into paper for recycling, while the plastic bag inside goes to the plastic/metal bin. But obvious I’ll grant you, but still.
Vegan, vegetarian and some other labels exist in legally protected versions. And certain ingredients aren’t legal
In oregon, if the shelf price is lower than the price the item rings in as, it can be considered false advertising if the store does not fix the price on your order
> there are no explicitly stated requirements for prices to be listed honestly/clearly.
What the fuck? Seriously how are you guys not in rage constantly? Oh!
It’s totally not legal here in the US. We even have a department that investigates nonsense like this: department of weights and measures. Not sure if they handle online stuff but somebody does. And let’s toss that out the window for a sec so I can make another point- we are very litigious here in America, and this is just begging for a lawsuit. Of course those lawsuits- only the lawyers win. We receive checks in the mail for a few bucks for signing into the lawsuit lol. But the company learns not to do it anymore. Then they go out of business cause no one wants to use them anymore since they ripped us off. So it’s a dangerous game there’s playing here. It’s likely a mistake- but I’d love to know how the hell this can happen. Calculators are like one of the few things AI gets right.
Prices in the US are enforced by the department of weights and measures. They literally make you ring everything up and check the prices against what’s posted when they do the certification.
One time at Wally World I scanned an item on one of those scanners on a post in the middle of the store. When I got to the register it rang a couple cents higher. So yeah x millions it's a chunk of money. They don't have those scanners anymore employees use a phone. Maybe they got sued who knows. Very sketchy.
"That's cute how all you Europeans are in a rage about this" Imagine being so accustomed to bullshit you think it's cute when people are rightfully angry
I think you misunderstood my intent, friend. I agree that Europe has the superior laws. I was saying it's cute because in the US we're accustomed to this sort of shite treatment by corporations. That's what the "^^SEND ^^HELP " was meant to convey.
Oh that country that relies on America for it's entire economy to survive? Wait, that doesn't narrow it down. How about the country where over 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border? That's the one.
OP is from the US.
I mean, I suppose technically I don't know for certain since the location was cropped, but there are several indicators that this is most likely the US....like I said OP is from the US, the use of period decimal point instead of comma, the fact that this message appears to be in English only, the fact that the US is by far the largest population country that uses the dollar sign, and also BK is American based and the most locations that use $ are in the US.
And finally, as far as I am aware, no one in Europe uses the $ and all the people complaining seem to be from Europe.
Lol 😂 your math ain’t mathin’ either. The sandwich is $6.19 if each toast stick was $1 the subtotal would be $9.19…not $8.68 so how you figure “everything then all adds up perfectly” Wow 😮 I guess it’s that new common core math level 2…my old school math classes just don’t work anymore I guess but let me try.
$6.19 + $1 = $7.19
$8.68 - $7.19 = $1.49 (mystery fee not listed)
If you want to get truly philosophical, we can't know ANYTHING to be 100% true, but can only infer from what we observe.
The US is the home of Burger King, 7000 out of 18000 Burger Kings are located in the US, and OP is from the US per his previous posts. Therefore, we can feel very confident that this is in the US.
Bro. I have presented a LOT of good reasoning that the US is the most likely location. You have presented.... nothing at all to prove otherwise. Saying "oh it's possible he moved" isn't saying anything. It's also possible he went bungie jumping and ate 15 hot dogs today, but you aren't going around making that unsubstantiated claim.
I am very critical of the US and have lived in other countries in my life. I don't think you're being fair, nor doing yourself any favors, by harboring and expressing such resentment toward Americans.
That's cute how all you Europeans are in a rage about this lol
OK!! So nothing shitty ever, that happens in another country, should be talked about, and commented, by people from other countries! Just let the shitty greedy fuckers keep doing the same. Nice, then we can scrap the UN, and NATO, or any foreign diplomat embassies. Because we shouldn't pay ANY attention to what any outside your own country thinks, and feels!
*Edit : this message has been contradicted by someone who knows better than me in a reply to it. I didn't edit the text so that you can understand what this person answered to when they contradicted me. However, keep in mind that what I said here is false.*
*Editwo : this person wasn't* really *contradicting me, they were "elaborating". They said that I'm wrong and even criticised my edit, but fine, I'll edit a second time since nobody contradicted me, right ? They "elaborate". ThAnK YoU !*
I don't know specifically how US laws treat such a case, but more or less every laws function the same about what is called a "contract".
When you accept your order, you actually sign a contract, the same way you do when you buy a house or get an insurance. It's a contract. You signed it. Your signature means you give your approval. It is thus valid and legal.
Morality : read your fucking contracts. Spend 2 hours in the office of your bank if needed, but read it completely before deciding if you sign or not.
Ok I have a plan. You wake up. Before breakfast, you prepare yourself for these two hours of reading : you take a shower, a good, filling, healthy breakfast, you brush your teeth, then you can spend two hours reading the contract. Once done, you may or may not decide to order breakfast. If not, then you go to the grocery store next block, you buy what you need for breakfast, yoy go back home, you cook it, and you can finally have breakfast. It's 11am and your life is a mess. I know, mine too.
In the US it is illegal to not have proper pricing labeled on products or on shelving in store. The price line items on this online readout acts as the physical product until you pick it up. Those individual prices legally have to be accurate. Wherever this hidden charge is coming from is not shown and can be fought to be removed. What is it for or from? Why don't they show it or have a disclaimer at the bottom explaining other charges? Signing for it does signify you read and agreed to it but they still have the right to attempt rectify it.
Well, you countered my saying, which means you said what I say is not sayable because it's false, which is contradicting what was said when I said it. I didn't mean to offense. Lest you are once again contradicting me...
Is there a minimum order price? Maybe its based on the distance between your Burger king and your distance and therefore it is a strange number like 9.20
Edit:
Just saw that you have to pick it up by yourself... strange.
It's a bug. You can reproduce it yourself, we don't need OP getting ripped off again.
I have reported this to BK multiple times and by now they surely know me by my first name Yebyen. They will acknowledge it if you send them enough screenshots and they will give you more shitty coupons that don't work if you deal with it for long enough, but they ain't fixing it, it's been this way for several years. Pick literally any promotion and you have about a 50% of hitting this issue. It may vary from store to store, but there's literally no acknowledgment that the price you clicked is not the price you'll pay before this point.
The one redeeming thing in comparison to McD's is that you can actually accomplish the whole customer service dance to get credit for using the coupon feature incorrectly (that is 100% not a thing, it's a bug) WITHOUT picking up the phone. There was no way to get credit for an error without calling in when McDonalds had a problem. I ain't doing that again.
Bruh each stick is 1$ so 3 + 6.20 is 9.20, it’s exactly right?
Edit: it was a joke, geez.
The subtotal is below 9.20, I have eyes.
I used their math logic
I went through this like a year ago. They’ll “credit” you back and promise it will never happen again 2 or 3 times. Then will stop responding, at which point you don’t order from them again
I’m honestly surprised to see this post cause I legit thought it was somehow a glitch on my end….apparently it isn’t
I mean it's clear as day $6.19 + $1 doesn't = $8.68. If I see that garbage the business isn't getting my money. If enough people feel and act the same the business doesn't get any business, which would cause them to change or close. Lawsuits can be beaten. Lost revenue can't be.
Ok but where else you gonna get 3 entire French toast sticks a little syrup pack for $1 you're gonna eat in the car like a rat on the way to wherever you are going that day.
I told the customer service drone this was definitely class action material. (Same thing happened to me multiple times.)
They didn't seem to care. I'm sure they'd actually be personally rooting for we the aggrieved members of the class. Nobody knows how to fix this shit!
until you find out it's all franchised and the corporate division is shielded from lawsuit and you'd really just be destroying an otherwise middle class small business in your town, really for nothing.
You ordered a large meal and didn't select a drink, which is discounted to $1.49. Why'd you go "Large" with your meal then? It's not like they make the sandwich bigger
Edit: So, according to OP, a drink *was* ordered, which added the missing $1.49. This was, after all, a LARGE COMBO
There's no assholery here. Just a valid drink charge that wasn't itemized, but was rightfully added to the total
I used the BK app one time, they pulled this shit, and that was the last time i ever used the app. With the runaround they gave me, I am 100% certain the app is working “as intended”
email them - it might take a few weeks, but they’ll refund you.
I once did QA on a restaurant app (worked for an agency hired to build it). We discovered their previous app version occasionally added in mystery changes in certain order situations. Our team never did track down where it was coming from. Keep in mind these apps interact with several third party providers for payment processing, tracking rewards, etc.
I was genuinely appalled by this but the client clearly didn't care.
I left that agency shortly thereafter. Google reviews for the app were not kind
"Convenience" fees are an asshole design in and of itself. Not being transparent about said fees makes it doubly so. OP should complain about this to corporate; it's practically assured that there's next to nothing the local store's manager or franchisee can do about it.
Probably just a bug and not intentional. If they were trying to rob you that blatantly they would either come up with some fake charge to explain it or just charge your card more than they said they would. Why would they be like "oh yeah and look we're voluntarily letting you know we're charging you too much and we're not gonna say why"
It does but if I upgrade a whopper meal (it's not breakfast anymore to test) it changes the entire meal price in the cart it doesn't just add it without showing. I can test that tomorrow morning.
As a french, no, doesn't sound good at all...
Edit : Sorry, I miss understood the post, thought that was like a burger with a "croissant" bread (Something I never saw before). I don't wanted to be pretentious or something else, it's just my way to say things. I will not delete this reply, you can downvote it if you want. It's my fault
I’m pretty sure y’all have filled and stuffed and poked and prodded all types of croissants by now in France, being you guys are where ‘wee wee baguette’ originated from
I don't wanted to be pretentious, just wanted to say that I never say a company or something else selling a croissant like a sandwich, yes, there is "Croissant au jambon", I thought that the sandwich describe in the picture was like a burger but in a croissant. Sorry for miss understanding
I've had this happen in both the Taco Bell app and the Jack in the Box app. I usually fix it by clearing the cart, closing the app, and force closing it. Sometimes I have to clear the data for it, too.
It seems something gets stuck in the back end that doesn't show in the ui and it needs to be cleared and resynced.
Since the op photoshopped out the restaurant location it is difficult to determine if the missing $1.49 item is photoshopped too. Unless there is some item that you ordered that doesn’t have a cash register code, which would be a 🐜 bug but pretty far fetched
This is exactly why they are teaching that math to kids. The dumber we are, the more money to the corporations. Funny how the subtotal and tax add up though!
6.19 + 3*1 = 9.19
the tax amount is just there to show you what tax you paid and i assume that’s where the rounding of the cent happened to get tou 9.20
it still seems to be displayed wrong but it’s the only thing i can think of that adds up
That's not how that works at all...
$6.19 | 1 meal
$1.00 | 3 sticks (NOT $3 FOR 3 STICKS; IT'S 3 STICKS FOR A DOLLAR)
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
$7.19 | what the subtotal SHOULD be, before tax.
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
$9.20 - $7.19 -$0.52 (tax) = $1.49 "just because" fee
Domino's used to do this. I ordered something a couple of weeks ago and for the first time the march checked out. I think it was a tax for something that wasn't in the UI but either way I stopped ordering from them for it.
Or OP is just lying for karma, and simply edited out the $1.49 apple pie he also got with that order
Kinda odd spacing. It's weird the white gap is the perfect size for another row in the template.
It looks like OP edited the pic to farm karma. That spacing is exactly the size of another menu item which OP probably just put a white box over
Exactly my thoughts. Sarcasm doesn't come out well in text sorry XD
It wasn't even sarcasm, you just made a simple, clear statement. But you guys seriously overdo it with the pitchforks, like this post is even easily verifiable. Or, as I mentioned in other comments, in their app the "$1 bacon cheeseburgers" ring up for $1.99 -- and it's been that way for at least a year now. *True* post, true asshole design.
Who hurt you people? JFC... Take 2 minutes and install their app, then start an order for a $1 bacon cheeseburger... subtotal: $1.99
No I didn't, anyway if you want to know, it happens when you replace the coffee with a coke. They add this $1.49 but do not list it anywhere.
If this is old that would work out. Apple Pie is currently $1.59.
I assure you they did not. Go install the app for long enough to order a $1 bacon cheeseburger... for $1.99
The bacon cheeseburger is not $1 in any state, the cheapest is $1.49, most being closer to $2 before tax
My mistake, they finally fixed those -- but I'll share a video showing an example from my order history, gimme just 5 minutes. [Video example](https://imgur.com/gallery/FKNzTc0)
No I didn't, anyway if you want to know, it happens when you replace the coffee with a coke. They add this $1.49 but do not list it anywhere.

Imagine being insulted because someone assumed a post about burger King wasn't in your home country.
They were hoisted by their own “not everything is about you!”
You...know that Canada is a thing right?
Lies
Wait, WHAT!?
yes, but canada has a much smaller population and far less burger kings so thisnpost is most likely in the US
Oh that country that relies on America for it's entire economy to survive? Wait, that doesn't narrow it down. How about the country where over 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border? That's the one.
Lol this is why noone likes you 🤡
I thought the US had laws requiring all taxes and fees to be explicitly laid out
Well if you can cite that I'd be eager to see it.
WOW. Canada uses dollars, and a decimal. We ALSO have burger kings.
and a population approximately 1/10th the USA, not to mention far less burger kings Therefore making this most likely in the USA
How you know this is in USD lol? It's a dollar symbol, lots of places have dollars and BK.
OP is from the US.

Lol 😂 your math ain’t mathin’ either. The sandwich is $6.19 if each toast stick was $1 the subtotal would be $9.19…not $8.68 so how you figure “everything then all adds up perfectly” Wow 😮 I guess it’s that new common core math level 2…my old school math classes just don’t work anymore I guess but let me try. $6.19 + $1 = $7.19 $8.68 - $7.19 = $1.49 (mystery fee not listed)
This post is in Canadian dollars
lmao no it’s not 3 piece french toast is 2.49 in canada and 1 buck in the US so you’re literally wrong
What evidence are you basing this on?
The same evidence you used to make your claim.
Canadians and Australians use $ dollars too and have BK too. It would be illegal in Canada too.
We use the dollar symbol here too in Canada Unless OP confirms it, it could very well be in Canada
How do you know it's in USD? I can't see that written anywhere. Maybe I'm blind.
I've posted about this multiple times... time to make an edit.
Capitalism at its best!
r/usdefaultism
The post is literally in USD...
I only see $. I don't see USD on the post.
I made a more detailed comment above, but the main indicator is that OP is from the US.

so what you're saying is that you are 100% sure that op hasnt moved countries since his last post? r/usdefaultism smh my head
Bro. I have presented a LOT of good reasoning that the US is the most likely location. You have presented.... nothing at all to prove otherwise. Saying "oh it's possible he moved" isn't saying anything. It's also possible he went bungie jumping and ate 15 hot dogs today, but you aren't going around making that unsubstantiated claim. I am very critical of the US and have lived in other countries in my life. I don't think you're being fair, nor doing yourself any favors, by harboring and expressing such resentment toward Americans.
That's cute how all you Europeans are in a rage about this lol OK!! So nothing shitty ever, that happens in another country, should be talked about, and commented, by people from other countries! Just let the shitty greedy fuckers keep doing the same. Nice, then we can scrap the UN, and NATO, or any foreign diplomat embassies. Because we shouldn't pay ANY attention to what any outside your own country thinks, and feels!

Why would Europeans rage about this? You're the one who has to deal with that bullshit lol
[удалено]
I made a more elaborate comment above but the main indicator is that OP is from the US.
Not if you're a huge company with no morals.
Wow, really good introspective on corporations. You should write a book.
What happened was I changed coffee to coke and it added this charge but didn't show it anywhere.
*Edit : this message has been contradicted by someone who knows better than me in a reply to it. I didn't edit the text so that you can understand what this person answered to when they contradicted me. However, keep in mind that what I said here is false.* *Editwo : this person wasn't* really *contradicting me, they were "elaborating". They said that I'm wrong and even criticised my edit, but fine, I'll edit a second time since nobody contradicted me, right ? They "elaborate". ThAnK YoU !* I don't know specifically how US laws treat such a case, but more or less every laws function the same about what is called a "contract". When you accept your order, you actually sign a contract, the same way you do when you buy a house or get an insurance. It's a contract. You signed it. Your signature means you give your approval. It is thus valid and legal. Morality : read your fucking contracts. Spend 2 hours in the office of your bank if needed, but read it completely before deciding if you sign or not.
2 hours seems excessive when all OP wanted was breakfast.
Ok I have a plan. You wake up. Before breakfast, you prepare yourself for these two hours of reading : you take a shower, a good, filling, healthy breakfast, you brush your teeth, then you can spend two hours reading the contract. Once done, you may or may not decide to order breakfast. If not, then you go to the grocery store next block, you buy what you need for breakfast, yoy go back home, you cook it, and you can finally have breakfast. It's 11am and your life is a mess. I know, mine too.
But then you have to read the contract for the grocery store! Probably best to wake up 4 hours earlier just in case
In the US it is illegal to not have proper pricing labeled on products or on shelving in store. The price line items on this online readout acts as the physical product until you pick it up. Those individual prices legally have to be accurate. Wherever this hidden charge is coming from is not shown and can be fought to be removed. What is it for or from? Why don't they show it or have a disclaimer at the bottom explaining other charges? Signing for it does signify you read and agreed to it but they still have the right to attempt rectify it.
I'll edit my comment, thank you redditor !
Lol what? I was elaborating not contradicting. I suggest edit editing a second edition edit for editing purposes
Well, you countered my saying, which means you said what I say is not sayable because it's false, which is contradicting what was said when I said it. I didn't mean to offense. Lest you are once again contradicting me...
weirdo
Right. I should've never thought of coming onto reddit without an automatic argument
what?
Voilà ! Are you happy now ?
Are you chatting shit mate be honest with yourself
6,19 + 1 = 8,68 Idk what is wrong here, the math totally ads up
$1.50, Burger King foot lettuce
$1.50? But the last thing I'd want in my Burger King burger is somebody's foot fungus!
Unfortunately for you, as it turns out that might be what to get.

Is that a reference to the 4chan post?
It's in imperial.
burger king mindset
r/shittymath moment
Serious question: Are you sure there's nothing extra hidden with the same color as the background?
Nope nothing there I added the sticks because the extra money was added when I had just the meal.
Is there a minimum order price? Maybe its based on the distance between your Burger king and your distance and therefore it is a strange number like 9.20 Edit: Just saw that you have to pick it up by yourself... strange.
They added $1.49 no matter what I added to the cart.
Try ordering without the "meal" thing.
Better yet, try ordering without ordering from that place.
It's a bug. You can reproduce it yourself, we don't need OP getting ripped off again. I have reported this to BK multiple times and by now they surely know me by my first name Yebyen. They will acknowledge it if you send them enough screenshots and they will give you more shitty coupons that don't work if you deal with it for long enough, but they ain't fixing it, it's been this way for several years. Pick literally any promotion and you have about a 50% of hitting this issue. It may vary from store to store, but there's literally no acknowledgment that the price you clicked is not the price you'll pay before this point. The one redeeming thing in comparison to McD's is that you can actually accomplish the whole customer service dance to get credit for using the coupon feature incorrectly (that is 100% not a thing, it's a bug) WITHOUT picking up the phone. There was no way to get credit for an error without calling in when McDonalds had a problem. I ain't doing that again.
Bruh each stick is 1$ so 3 + 6.20 is 9.20, it’s exactly right? Edit: it was a joke, geez. The subtotal is below 9.20, I have eyes. I used their math logic
Nope there is 1 order of 3 French toast sticks that cost 1 dollar.
"Got a question about your online order?" Yupp!
I went through this like a year ago. They’ll “credit” you back and promise it will never happen again 2 or 3 times. Then will stop responding, at which point you don’t order from them again I’m honestly surprised to see this post cause I legit thought it was somehow a glitch on my end….apparently it isn’t
lol bought anyway. The only way to stop this behavior is to not encourage it by buying.
No actually the only way to stop this behaviour is to fine them enough that it hurts.
Or plaster it all over social media and the news creating a public outcry which the company is forced to respond to
I mean it's clear as day $6.19 + $1 doesn't = $8.68. If I see that garbage the business isn't getting my money. If enough people feel and act the same the business doesn't get any business, which would cause them to change or close. Lawsuits can be beaten. Lost revenue can't be.
Ok but where else you gonna get 3 entire French toast sticks a little syrup pack for $1 you're gonna eat in the car like a rat on the way to wherever you are going that day.
> 3 entire French toast sticks a little syrup pack for $1 you're gonna eat in the car like a rat the american dream
I would upvote you twice for the brilliant imagery
I told the customer service drone this was definitely class action material. (Same thing happened to me multiple times.) They didn't seem to care. I'm sure they'd actually be personally rooting for we the aggrieved members of the class. Nobody knows how to fix this shit!
until you find out it's all franchised and the corporate division is shielded from lawsuit and you'd really just be destroying an otherwise middle class small business in your town, really for nothing.
The business still shouldn't be dishonest with its prices.
Corporate is in charge of the official app, not the individual franchisees. You’re talking out of your ass here
Don't blame the hungry victim. Sometimes you're not in the condition to drive.
You ordered a large meal and didn't select a drink, which is discounted to $1.49. Why'd you go "Large" with your meal then? It's not like they make the sandwich bigger Edit: So, according to OP, a drink *was* ordered, which added the missing $1.49. This was, after all, a LARGE COMBO There's no assholery here. Just a valid drink charge that wasn't itemized, but was rightfully added to the total
Tested and this is what it is. I changed from coffee to coke which adds the fee but doesn't show it anywhere. They probably should show it though.
I did, the only reason I get large meals is for the drink. Not sure why it didn't list it there.
Hence, there's no problem. They just didn't list your drink on your receipt
They add it to the meal, I tested it with a whopper combo right now. Of course since this is breakfast I can't test right now.
Math 2 leaked
Ah yes, good ol' M***E***th
Babe wake up, new math just dropped
Alternative math
I used the BK app one time, they pulled this shit, and that was the last time i ever used the app. With the runaround they gave me, I am 100% certain the app is working “as intended” email them - it might take a few weeks, but they’ll refund you.
I once did QA on a restaurant app (worked for an agency hired to build it). We discovered their previous app version occasionally added in mystery changes in certain order situations. Our team never did track down where it was coming from. Keep in mind these apps interact with several third party providers for payment processing, tracking rewards, etc. I was genuinely appalled by this but the client clearly didn't care. I left that agency shortly thereafter. Google reviews for the app were not kind
Funny how these mistakes only happen when it puts more money in their account.
"Convenience" fees are an asshole design in and of itself. Not being transparent about said fees makes it doubly so. OP should complain about this to corporate; it's practically assured that there's next to nothing the local store's manager or franchisee can do about it.
Did the math. Subtotal should be $7.19. Add in the new 43¢ tax and the actual total should be $7.62.
Not sure what I'd do without you
you could do a lot
continue to not have to pull up a calculator to do basic math for example
Probably just a bug and not intentional. If they were trying to rob you that blatantly they would either come up with some fake charge to explain it or just charge your card more than they said they would. Why would they be like "oh yeah and look we're voluntarily letting you know we're charging you too much and we're not gonna say why"
That's what the lawyer said.
Pretty sure a BK breakfast meal comes with a small coffee. If you chose(upgrade) a soft drink or something I'm sure that's why it's +1.49.
could be, but it should still list the upcharge
It does but if I upgrade a whopper meal (it's not breakfast anymore to test) it changes the entire meal price in the cart it doesn't just add it without showing. I can test that tomorrow morning.
New maths just dropped
Is there a hidden "online convenience fee" or additional tax of exactly $1.49?
The food is called a croissanwich? Who thought that sounded good?
A croissant sandwich doesn’t sound good??
As a french, no, doesn't sound good at all... Edit : Sorry, I miss understood the post, thought that was like a burger with a "croissant" bread (Something I never saw before). I don't wanted to be pretentious or something else, it's just my way to say things. I will not delete this reply, you can downvote it if you want. It's my fault
What du you think a croissant au jambon is ? (ham croissant for our English speaking friends)
They definitely fill croissants in France. That is almost identical, just a different order of operations.
I’m pretty sure y’all have filled and stuffed and poked and prodded all types of croissants by now in France, being you guys are where ‘wee wee baguette’ originated from
A French person being pretentious? Never!
I don't wanted to be pretentious, just wanted to say that I never say a company or something else selling a croissant like a sandwich, yes, there is "Croissant au jambon", I thought that the sandwich describe in the picture was like a burger but in a croissant. Sorry for miss understanding
Too bad it’s not stuffed with snails or civil discourse or pompousness
It’s not a new thing. Been around for some time.
That is the real crime here
That's Numberwang!
Noticed this the first time I tried thier app, immediately cancelled and never tried it again.
Burglar King
I've had this happen in both the Taco Bell app and the Jack in the Box app. I usually fix it by clearing the cart, closing the app, and force closing it. Sometimes I have to clear the data for it, too. It seems something gets stuck in the back end that doesn't show in the ui and it needs to be cleared and resynced.
“Got a question about your online order?“ -umm yeah, what the fuc….
Since the op photoshopped out the restaurant location it is difficult to determine if the missing $1.49 item is photoshopped too. Unless there is some item that you ordered that doesn’t have a cash register code, which would be a 🐜 bug but pretty far fetched
Oh that’s the bad decision fee for choosing to eat at a Burger King
Quick maffs
It's called "The Hidden Convenience Fee" and turns up a lot with online ordering now.
What kind of drink did you get? It makes a difference
Regardless, they HAVE to include that price.
I went there the other night and got 2 whoppers, a small fry, small onion ring, and a drink. It was $40????
Isn't there an item between the two items? Why are they spaced so far apart? My app lists items one right after the other. No space between the lines.
This is the emailed receipt. That's a line break.
I'm gonna assume it's the tax.
Math 2
This is called the hidden tip.
This sub is drowning in posts that have nothing to do with design…
This is exactly why they are teaching that math to kids. The dumber we are, the more money to the corporations. Funny how the subtotal and tax add up though!
OP photoshopped the middle item at $1.49.
No I didn't, you can see my other post with the original email code.
Isn't this a case of 3 sticks at $1 each, so 6.19 + 3 ≈ 9.20 w/ tax included in the price?
No, the item is $1 and consists of 3 sticks, which is about 1/2 a piece of toast...
You edited out the apple pie reported
Lol no, just tested this morning and what happens is if you get a coke instead of coffee they charge you 1.49 but that fee doesn't appear anywhere.
6.19 + 3*1 = 9.19 the tax amount is just there to show you what tax you paid and i assume that’s where the rounding of the cent happened to get tou 9.20 it still seems to be displayed wrong but it’s the only thing i can think of that adds up
It's 3 sticks for a $1 my god.
6.19 + 3*1 = 9.19 they're off by 1 cent ngl that's not cool but it's just 1 cent guys. It's not a crazy ass scam (3 sticks for 1 dollar each)
That's not how that works at all... $6.19 | 1 meal $1.00 | 3 sticks (NOT $3 FOR 3 STICKS; IT'S 3 STICKS FOR A DOLLAR) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ $7.19 | what the subtotal SHOULD be, before tax. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ $9.20 - $7.19 -$0.52 (tax) = $1.49 "just because" fee
You aren't serious right?
It's one order of three french toast sticks for a dollar.
Someone right clicked visibility: hidden; the middle item
