I usually don't complain about food or services, growing up on a farm in VT you have two choices; take it or leave it. However, today I had an interesting situation develop. I was up to the lake today helping a friend prepare his boat for launching. At lunch time I ventured over to the Full Belly Deli for a quick sandwich (everyone at the Club raves about how good their food is). When I got there, it was standing room only and I thought about trying another place. But the girl on the counter got to me before I finished reading the menu board and I place my order for one tuna sub, a couple bags of chips (I’m sharing the sub) and a drink and took my place in the back of the store.
I noticed everyone ahead of me was paying huge prices for what seemed like pretty small bags of lunch items ($20, $25, $30 and more); in fact one guy had to break out a credit card to cover his $18 lunch after coming up short. I totaled mine up in my mind to be about $11 and was shocked when she said it will be $21.25... My reply was," I don’t think I want this sandwich anymore, at that price" and her response was, "let me re-check this for you". "You're right, you were charged double" it’s actually $12.85... Well, that not exactly the way the math works in my mind, but I paid it anyways just to get out of there. Normally, I'd just let it go as an innocent slip up, but when I think about all the other people ahead of me paying such a high price for lunch, and the fact that the counter girl works with these published prices every day and it didn't seem odd to her, makes me angry that they are ripping off everyone who walks in the door and just accepts the price of lunch at the famous "Full Belly Deli". They will never get the chance to cheat me again and I hope you keep an eye on your next total there. |
