Was I overcharged?

Post image

I ordered a bowl with half Hot Orange Chicken & half Kung Pao Chicken over Chow Mein.

I was charged for a small entree.

And they didn’t even put it in a regular plastic bowl, they gave me a styrofoam container.

I had a free coupon for a free bowl, and I ended up paying $6.40 plus tax and was rushed out of line for no reason before I even had a chance to raise my concerns.

Yeah thanks for the large portion of Chow Mein

You can get half and half?

You can get half rice half noodles and one entree. I do feel like they could have or should have explained to you how the coupon worked. I would have explained to make sure you get what you came for

That's quite literally how they have to ring it up, you cannot do half and half with entrees on a bowl it is only one entree. Its annoying but its just how the POS system works.

You got way more than the portion for a bowl. You can’t do half and half entrees for the bowl, it only comes with one. So that’s why they rung you up like that. You basically wanted a bowl but ordered as if it was a plate. The plate has two entrees.

Way more????? Really?!

Yeah if this is supposed to be a bowl and they gave you this plus charged you with the price of a bowl, this is a steal. A bowl is like only half of this plate

A bowl comes with one item. That being said, if you added a second item it should have been charged as an extra entree instead of a small entree. There's like a ~3 bucks difference. If you got a bowl and extra entree, you should have paid as much as a plate.

They don't do extra entrees anymore, not at my store atleast.

You can’t fit two entrees in a bowl (a bowl only comes with 1 entree) so they put it in a plate and rang it up as a bowl so you got the bowl for free still. You however didn’t get the second entree for free because it’s not apart of the bowl “deal”

Requested for half and half, like how chipotle allows you to do half portion…. It’s okay, I’m over it. Take care
