What would you do if you placed a take out order, and when you went to pick it up, the cost was, unexpected, about twice what you thought you were paying for?

We wanted some take out tacos on Sunday, after working really hard all day. Our favorite Mexican place was closed on Sunday, so I rang up another place that I don’t like nearly as much. It was a simple order, tacos, so I figured they couldn’t screw it up too bad.

I told the lady, “I’d like 4 fried flour tortilla tacos. I’d also like chips, a large mild sauce and a large cheese sauce with spinach in it.”
She said, “It’s sixteen dollars.”
I said, “OK.” I thought it was a little much for 4 tacos, but livable.

I get there..and the bill was $34.57!

I said, “I thought you said it was $16!”

She said, ”$16 is just for the cheese and spinach sauce.”

I think I muttered an expletive, which is not something I normally do in public. Something like, “You’re shittin’ me!”

$16 for melted cheese and spinach in a 12 oz Styrofoam cup.

When I looked at the tab closer, she had also charged me for the chips and the salsa, which normally come with the meal.

I didn’t say anything else, just paid for my order and left. Chalked up another reason not to go to that place. I’ll go to Taco Tico before I’ll go back there.

I posted this rant on Facebook, and a jelly came on and said she thought it would be a good question here.

What would your reaction be?
