I just got off work today at 6:30 starving from not eating anything all day (all I had was orange juice and water).
Being sick of the shitty restraunts and fast food that are nearby work or on the way home from work I decided to go out of my way to some new overpriced plaza and get some not-so-fast-food (which is usually a bit healthier as well).
So I decided to give Togos a try, I've never eaten there and don't plan to. So I go in their crappy store which smelled like mold or sticky old trash (or both). And noticed its one of those shitty half stores where they have a Baskin Robbins on one side of the place and Togos on the other, Fuck that.
After painstakingly looking through the ridiculously vague menu that only has big ass pictures and some minor descriptions with little or no prices listed anywhere and nothing on the menu says the size of and sandwiches or anything either. (Its really amazing to me how a menu can take up a whole 200-300 sq. ft. wall or whatever and still not list everything.)
I decided to go for the Sierra Steak sandwich (or whatever the fuck it was called). So I ask the guy how much it is and he doesn't even know and has to check the computer and tells me its 5.99$, to which I reply "for what a 6 inch? or what?". Now normally I would just leave right then because I'm not gonna pay a dollar an inch for some crappy sandwich, but since I was starving and I have a soft spot in my heart for all things spicy I tell him to give me one and a large soup of broccoli cheddar while hes at it.
So then the other guy starts to make my food and tells me I can get an "Endless Combo" (I figure they mean the shitty food and prices are endless.), to which I reply "Sure, Whatever is cheaper for me man" and he says "Ok". Then I see that the 'endless combo' is the same price as just the sandwich. So you can get your sandwich and a salad or a soup with it. So I'm thinking, wow thats what I want. Its practically a free soup after all, score.
So I stand there for about 3-4 minutes while he builds my sandwich and a bunch of snotty little kids run around and bitch to their lazy mom about getting ice cream. It still smells like mold or some shit too. While the other teenage workers are helping each other hold ice cream scoops and playing grab ass or whatever the fuck Togos workers do. "We're big boys" is what I heard one of them say to their acne scarred boss as he left.
As hes making it I noticed there was some addon combo deal thing for chips and a soda but no price so I ask him what that is, if its part of the endless combo or what. Then he asks the head retard in the back and replies to me that its for some DVD or something. Wtf? So I say fuck it, its not worth even trying to figure out at this point.
So the sandwich is done and the guy grabs my soup and has to take a shit break or something and tells the other loser to finish with my order/payment. He takes my card and says to my surprise "11.94$" and I go "Wtf, no its 5.99. I got the endless combo" So now they are back there arguing about what I ordered when I just told them what I ordered. This gives me a some time to look at the wall and try to piece together the jigsaw puzzle menu and figure out what I ordered, what they charged me for, and how ridiculous their pricing works. Apparently a Regular soup is 2.49 (8oz.) and a Large is 2.99 (12oz.) and a Bread bowl soup is 4.49 (12oz.). (Thats cool a shitty soggy piece of bread for your bowl for an extra 2 bucks! sign me up!)
Next, these jack asses are telling me what I ordered and that the endless combo is a regular soup and a 4 inch sub. So there I am wondering how that 2 extra inches of a sub and 4 more Ounces of soup cost $5.50++. Seriously, wtf?
Finally, I tell them to just give me the 'endless combo' like I ordered. So now the dumb ass is mad and slaps my card down on the counter and says in a scornful manner "Fine, Its gonna take a while.". Then I'm like, "Can't you just take it out of what you already made?" He replies, "No, its a totally different thing".
Irritated as hell myself I finally realize they are probably gonna remake it shitty as hell and not just fucking give me what they already made. I decide to leave. A big "Fuck it, I'm out of here." comes out of my mouth as I grab my card and walk out of that stinkhole.
EPILOGUE:
My logic is that they just lost 11.94$ for no reason when they could have at the very least scrapped it and saved some of the profit. But no, they have to be some dumb shit kids with rich snob crappy attitudes who work at Togos cause daddy made them so they can 'learn responsibility'. They were probably happy I left the food so they could eat it themselves for free. I had the food in my hand before he took my card, I should have just walked out with it.
I never planned to eat at Togos ever, they were lucky I was hungry today to even give them a chance at all. I don't ever plan to in the future either. Fuck this shitty overpriced shithole.
