I rarely eat fast food anymore, and when I do I never order combos and stick to the dollar menu or other individual items. Yesterday I was starving and had to get something really quick for breakfast and decided to get a breakfast meal from Burger King. The meal said it costed $3.99 on the drive thru menu but they asked me what size I wanted. I said I wanted a small size figuring that that was probably the 3.99 price. When I pull up to pay this is how the convo goes:
Lady- "That will be $5.88"
Me- "$5.88? The menu said it was $3.99"
Lady- "YOU ORDERED THE SMALL"
Me- "I know. So why are you charging me MORE for the small?"
Lady- "The small costs MORE. You should have said you wanted the value size (like I am an idiot for not knowing this)"
Me- "Just give me whatever is $3.99 like it says on the menu"
What has happened to all these fast food joints? It now costs MORE to get something thats considered a small size? Value size is supposed to be extra small and everyone is supposed to know that? Why cant things be like back in the day when you ordered a meal and they didn't ask what size you want, they just gave it to you at the same price every time. If anything, the only thing they asked was "Did you want to supersize that?" All you had to say was yes or no. You didn't have to invent creative names for different sizes. Things were so simple back then.
Screw Burger King

Haha. I feel you. It's like when I go to Carl's JR and request either just the sandwich or the smallest size its like I'm speaking a freaking foreign language and I have to clarify multiple times! Like, "NO I DONT WANT A EXTRA 5 POUNDS ADDED TO MY ASS THANK YOU!"
