These days I am more and more aware of every cent that I spend. So when you get a niggle that something isn't quite right then it is worth investigating.
Lets have a look at the above McDonalds receipt that I got the other night .
Where it says VM this includes the burger and a large serving of chips.
So if I ordered a large filet of fish meal and a cheeseburger, and a large cheeseburger meal and a filet of fish then I should get the same items. A filet of fish, a cheeseburger, a large fries and a tasty large soft drink to wash it all down with.
Value Meal 1
1 LRG Coke- $2.90
1 LRG FILET -O-FISH- VM- $4.35
1 CHEESEBURGER- $2.15
TOTAL cost is $9.30
Value Meal 2
1 LRG SPRITE- $2.90
1 LRG CHEESEBURGER VM- $2.35
1 FILET-O-FISH $4.25
TOTAL cost is $9.50
WTF??
Ok so there is only 20c difference and at this point in my life I can still afford an extra 20c. But still, WTF???
This requires more investigation....
Also, under the Sale of Goods Act if you get charged more for something than its stated price, the vendor is required to give it to you free - so you would have gained more than the 20c if you asked them about it! :)
