Wrong prices and getting hot sauce when you don't want it!

Food - Every now and then I have been known to frequent a "fast food" establishment, only when I need food fast, of course. I'm not sure who was the inventor of "fast food," I think it was White Castle, back in 1916. White Castle was founded by: J. Walter Anderson of Wichita, Kansas. He sold five cent hamburgers along with french fries and colas. White Castle thrived along with other fast-food operations. However, fast-food did not become a significant part of the American landscape until after World War II.
Richard and Maurice McDonald chalked out a design for a new type of hamburger restaurant on a tennis court in 1948.
Dave Thomas opened his first Wendy's restaurant in 1962 in Columbus, Ohio.
By 1990 there were almost 11,803 McDonald's, 6,298 Burger King' s, and 3,721 Wendy' s fast-food establishments in the United States.

Dish - Does the following scenario sound familiar? One store they are charging you too much, the other they give you stuff you said you didn't want!

Recently I went into a party store to buy some, you guessed it, party items. I approach the register just in time to hear a customer in the next check out line say: "That can't be right." The clerk checks the receipt and answers: "Oh, your right. I'm not sure why they rang up at that price." She adjusts the prices charged and the customer goes on her way.

I then get my total and say: "That can't be right." The items I purchased were marked .99 cents, but rang up for $3.99. The clerk looks at the receipt and says: "Oh, your right. I'm not sure they rang up at that price." I think to my self, didn't I just hear that somewhere?

Now, I don't know about you, but I am starting to think that the stores do this on purpose. And they probally get away with it quite often, especially if you are buying a lot of items, some which are more costly and you wouldn't notice (or so they hope.) How can two people have the same experience within minutes of each other....something tells me there have been similar experiences too. I have really started checking prices as they ring them up, just in case.

Onto a fast food establishment, cuz I needed food fast. After you order they ask you if you want hot or mild sauce with your order, to which I say: no. Never fails, they give it to me anyways -- so why ask?

One store trying to gouge you, the other trying to spice it up by giving it away...makes you go hmmm... I guess it's hard work trying to "please the customer."

Embellish - Laugh hard enough that you cry and repeat often!
