You had to got to that particular JITB and you had to get a wrong charge leading you to having to call and give them a time to come back and get the $1.10 fries (their fries are good, though :) ). You have to be back there on Mon 3-5pm!! There, let's move on to another of this world's major problems!! Nice blog. Will be back here often. R J Allow me to put a positive spin on this situation.

It just happened to my wife recently with baggles. She paid for 8 and got 6 in the bag. I used to work at a fast food restaurant many years ago. Once in awhile, a customer would return their burger or food after eating most of it. Yes, we had claims like your too, and we refund our customers too. There is no way for a business to verify most claims. That's just part of the business. Look at it from both sides. I understand your frustration. It just happened to my wife recently with baggles.

I had to go to the same franchise and had to give a timeframe as well. So I picked a date and time I knew I would be in the area. free meal though.

You could've been more assertive. Woulda, coulda, shoulda... didn't; I know. But you could have asked to talk with a manager who might have had the authority to come up with a more intuitive plan.
