Has Anyone Here Been Intentionally Overcharged???

Hi, l was on my way back home a while ago, and thought that l would like some KFC.


Yeah, l know, they treat chickens like crap. but putting that aside, there is another point to this thread...


I usually only spend about $10 to $13 for 2 pieces of chicken, small coleslaw. small potato and gravy, small chips and bun...


But...in this instance he charged $20, (AU)!!!!! WTF


I said, l don't remember prices being that high, and l thought that some gov, tax was to blame, but no.

And this was after he supposedly, reduced the price by putting it into a pack of some kind?

And before anyone asks, l did go over what l ordered, just in case he ordered double?


Then l said l would need to think about it, and he got ordered by another staff member to clean the floors, (probably needed the exercise, since he was seriously overweight for a 20+ year old).

And then l tried again, (l would try to order one piece of chicken to see if it made a difference) and guess what happened next, the other staff member that was serving me now, gave me the same order for $10!!!!! :confused:

I walked out thinking, how could the first one make a mistake like this, especially after going over it more than once?

Although now, l am suspecting that it is some sort of scam, since the invoice doesn't itemize anything, and without putting it into some sort of deal it probably would add up to $20 which l have never paid for a meal like this, and never will?

Easy scam to do, just ask for near full price, put it into the database as the cheapest meal deal, and pocked the difference?

I know that other well known food outlets, tend to overcharge when they are busy, etc,.

Anyone else had any sly of hand tricks like this when ordering?

Least it is putting me off KFC, a good thing, best to stay with fish and chips and pizza, least those places aren't run by 20 year old, budding criminals????

PS, yeah, l know that he could have been a beginner, but the other staff member didn't correct him or chew him out, he just seemed to get him out of the way. This smells fishy to me!
