Pizza Hut price weirdness
Today is Tuscani Tuesday, so I decided to order some pasta and pizza for me and Ma. I went online and ordered the Tuscani Tuesday two-for-one deal and a large pizza. The pizza was $11, as expected, and the Tuscani deal was supposed to be $10, but the website charged me $14 for it, for a total of $26.69, including taxes.
When I got down there to pick up my carryout order (because, alas, we don't live close enough for delivery here), I asked the girl who was ringing me up what the Tuscani deal was supposed to cost. She said $10. I said yeah, that's what I thought, but pointed out that the website had charged me $14 for it. She then went in and manually changed the price and said that now the whole order cost $18.15. I said that this didn't sound right either, because the pizza was $11 and the pasta deal was supposed to be $10, so the total should have been $21, not including taxes. But she went ahead and rung it up as $18.15 anyway. So, in the end, I was like (but didn't say out loud) okay, screw it, if you want to undercharge me, that's fine, I guess, just so long as you don't overcharge me.
This isn't the first time there's been weirdness like this. This time and the last time (as well as all the more recent times back in WA) that I ordered a large pizza online, it cost $11. But when Ma called one in before, it cost $16-and-something when she went to pay. For the exact same pizza. So yeah... I guess there are just discrepancies in prices between ordering online and ordering via phone, for some odd unknown reasons that don't make sense to me.
